Relationships Cannot Be Managed

What happens when your relationships are built on control instead of love? In this episode, we explore how the instinct to manage relationships — through distance, over-functioning, or conflict avoidance — keeps us from truly living them. The bridge from managing to living is trust in the Lord.Featuring John 13:34–35, we look at how Jesus modeled sacrificial love on His last night with His disciples — knowing they would scatter — and what that means for how we love the people in our lives today.Follow Before the Lord on Facebook (@BeforeTheLord) and Instagram (@beforethelorddevo) for daily encouragement.
