Welcome to another Sunday Live broadcast where we dive deep into one of the most critical issues facing marriages today: the silent epidemic of emotional disconnection. In this episode, my wife Melissa and I have a raw, honest conversation about why so many couples are living like roommates instead of intimate partners—and what you can do about it. I’m witnessing something alarming in my ministry work: husbands and wives who rarely speak about matters of the heart, families sitting together in restaurants without any meaningful conversation, and couples who’ve convinced themselves that “not fighting” equals a healthy marriage. The truth is, we’re becoming relationally and emotionally dormant, and technology is playing a bigger role in this than we want to admit.
I also address the plague of Christian perfectionism and spend some extended time walking through pursuing your passion of creative art.
What We Cover in This Broadcast:
* Christian Perfectionism: “Just Right But Never Enough” – Deep dive into how perfectionism infiltrates our faith walk, from preoccupation with salvation to obsessing over spiritual routines, and why the “I was miraculously healed” mindset can be harmful
* The Disobedience Trap – Why we need to stop labeling every struggle or transition as “disobedience” and learn to see our journey through the lens of God’s grace and learning over time
* The Church Lady and the Church Gentleman go out on a date and I got the report from the restaurant manager on what happened!
* Pursuing Creative Passions Without Shame – Addressing the fear, doubt, and father wounds that come up when stepping into creative work (music, writing, art, etc.) and practical wisdom for turning your passion into sustainable work
* The Roommate Syndrome Crisis – Why couples are losing emotional intimacy and settling for surface-level coexistence instead of deep relational connection
* Practical Tools for Restoration – The eye-to-eye prayer practice that transformed our marriage and can transform yours
* OCD, ROCD, and Marriage – Addressing how obsessive-compulsive patterns impact relationships and the path toward healing for both spouses
