Feeling fried from carrying everyone’s emotions, decisions, and spiritual growth on your back? Kevin A. Thompson, author of Stay in Your Lane: Worry Less, Love More, and Get Things Done, offers a relief-giving rethink on how to let go: what if peace, joy, and actual influence show up the minute you quit steering other people’s lives? With wit, honesty, and real-life questions you’ve probably asked yourself, it’s a clarifying, confidence-building discussion for anyone longing to breathe again.

Looking for a way to keep going?

These six conversations are just a glimpse into the type of conversations prompted by our new marriage study, Art of Marriage, currently 25% off through August 31.

If you’ve been craving more—more connection, more understanding, more joy together—Art of Marriage is a powerful next step. This six-session, video-based study dives into the core of how to love our spouse the way God loves us: how to have an unwavering love no matter the challenge, a love full of strength and resiliency, a love that is selfless, a love that forgives because of the grace He has shown us, a love so intimate that you feel fully known and seen, and a love that is a representation of Christ just in how others see you love each other.

You can walk through it with friends, a small group, host an event at your church, or go through it with just the two of you. Learn more or preview session one at ArtofMarriage.com
