“What use is accomplishing greatness if when I get there, I’ve got nobody to share it with? The moment doesn’t really become a moment if there’s not people there that can scream and shout and fully celebrate me.”

What if the only destination for dating is marriage? Senior pastor Stephen Chandler unpacks his transformative “Relationship Roadmap” approach, challenging our modern dating culture with refreshing honesty. Stephen shares why intentionality is the missing ingredient in most failed relationships. Through vulnerable stories of his own marriage journey — from being the broke pastor who married a financially stable nurse, to learning the hard way about how his achievement-driven mindset nearly damaged his marriage — Stephen reveals why the two decisions that will define your life are what you do with God and who you choose to spend your life with. This eye-opening conversation delivers practical wisdom for anyone seeking to build a relationship that doesn’t just survive but becomes the foundation for true greatness in every area of life.
