Have you ever noticed how much culture calls out and demands our attention? There is always an article to read, a breaking headline, a product you can’t live without, a new habit to “change your life,” and so much more. This is true for every generation in your church but especially the generations of your young adults, teens, and children. Unfortunately, the distractions of the culture are normal to them. Culture is always calling, and it very rarely, if ever, calls anyone closer to Christ.

It would be impossible to list all of the answers to prayer and all of the ways God worked at Spiritual Leadership Conference Asia this year. But we sensed the Lord’s favor on every aspect of this conference, and I want to share several highlights of His goodness. 

Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts. A good marriage is a picture of Christ’s love for the church and is a place of encouragement, growth, and grace. 

But these kinds of relationships don’t just happen. A strong marriage is not something that can be left to chance. Godly, mutually-edifying marriages are built intentionally—by the grace of God.
