There's a lot of bad relationship advice in the love songs we listen to. Take for example the 80's hit, I'm Gonna Be: "But I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more, just to be the man who walks a 1,000 miles, to fall down at your door." How dumb is that?! You would never be persuaded to be in a relationship with someone because of the distance they traveled. "But babe, I walked really far to be with you!" No way! You'd likely laugh at them or maybe even call the cops. There has to be a more reliable source than love songs for guidance in our relationships. How do we find something we can trust?

The Grove Church is a neighborhood church located in Dallas, TX. We love the imagery of coming together as a community and being the group of 'fruit-bearing trees' that Jeremiah writes about in the Old Testament (see Jeremiah 17:7-8). Our vision for The Grove is to become a church that lives out its faith in tangible ways, intentionally creating environments that gather people together, grow them closer to God, and give back to our neighbors. This podcast is our audio versions of live sermons preached every Sunday online and in-person.
