Presenter - Pastor Matt Surber
Date - April 27, 2025

Conflict is inevitable in marriage — but how we handle it will determine the health and future of our relationship. When two passionate people come together, sparks can fly, and without careful attention, small disagreements can ignite into major issues. In Week 1 of LET’S TALK, we’ll discover that conflict isn’t something to fear — it’s something to face with grace. Drawing from Ephesians 4:26-32, we’ll explore how to manage anger without sinning, how to build each other up with our words, and how seasoning every conversation with grace can transform even the hardest moments into opportunities for deeper love and connection. Whether you’re married, single, or somewhere in between, the way we talk — and fight — matters. Let’s learn how to fight fair, speak life, and keep love at the center of every conversation.
