Culture may try to convince us that it’s better to be alone, but the truth is marriage is still winning. The real question is: are you ready for it? In Week 5 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that marriage works 100% of the time when we do it God’s way. While culture often teaches that it’s better to marry than to burn with lust, Pastor Mike challenges us to pursue the greater option - developing self-control and surrendering our lives fully to God.This message reminds wives that they are anointed for their husbands and encourages men to provide safety, leadership, and covering for their wives. Whether you are single, dating, or married, this message will challenge you to prepare your heart, build godly character, and become the person God is calling you to be before stepping into the covenant of marriage.

This message is for anyone preparing for promise after pain. In Week 4 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that restoration is possible after any level of devastation, destruction, death, divorce, or disappointment.

We pray it empowers you to let God take the broken pieces of your story and restore them into something greater than you imagined.

Culture has sold us a counterfeit version of love that feels exhilarating, euphoric, and full of uninterrupted bliss, pleasure and enjoyment. It’s like everyone wants to be “drunk in love.” But in Week 2 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that no one makes wise decisions while intoxicated. Using a powerful illustration with drunk goggles, Pastor Mike shows how being drunk in your soul can distort your walk, your choices, and your relationships. Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:5–8, this message calls us to be sober in our soul so we can build relationships with clarity and wisdom. You’ll discover the four things a healthy soul must believe and gain revelation on how to build relationships that are strong, stable, and God-centered moving forward.

This series has the power to change every relationship you’ve had, have now, and will ever have. In Week 1 of Relationship Goals: In Real Life, Pastor Michael Todd reminds us that the goal isn’t just chemistry—it’s healthy relationships, and healthy relationships start with healthy people. Pastor Mike unpacks the four foundational needs we all carry: to be seen, soothed, secure, and safe, and challenges us to examine our soul health. God is your soulmate—your spouse is your soul match. When you stop expecting people to fill a place only God can occupy, you make room for relationships that are whole, healed, and built to last.

Culture has a lot to say about love, but this series injects God’s perspective into what culture lacks wisdom on. This message challenges us to ask the hard questions: Is your soul healthy? Are your thoughts healthy when no one else is around? Would you marry you? We pray this message and series gives you the clarity and confidence that you need to win in relationships!
