Has your world been rocked by an event you didn’t expect? Are you reeling from a hurt relationship or someone walking out on you? Sometimes traumatic events shock you into action to move you toward a corrected or more excellent path in life.

This course is designed to:
• Help you discover why your life surprised you. What did you miss that allowed the destruction of an important relationship?
• Inform you of the damage caused by misguidance and misunderstanding regarding Feelings, Freedom, Forgiveness, and Confession.
• Show you how to use Feelings, Freedom, Forgiveness, and Confession in constructive and life-giving ways.

The GR8 Relationships program started with a painful and poignant tipping point that took me by surprise. I was not a victim in the scenario, but it was a slap in the face that woke me up to so much about me, my wife, and our relationship. It caused me to look at my relationship with God more closely too.

“I thought when I got married life would be simple and easy.”

“I expected married life to be like walking through a field of sunflowers on a beautiful cool day.”

“My wife was different when we were dating, and I thought she wouldn’t change. Now all she does is nag me about the kids.”

“He just comes home and sits and watches sports. What happened to the man who used to hug me and talk to me about his dreams?”

Do we truly understand relationships and marriage the way God designed them? Or do we bring unrealistic expectations into our relationships? Do we think we can change the other person? What is God's design for relationships? Consider the following scenario and see if any of it resonates with you?
