In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Ken Ralston to dig into the kind of relationships that don’t just survive—they actually stick the way God intended. If you’ve ever wondered why some relationships feel like you’re duct-taping a sinking ship while others feel deeply rooted, this conversation is going to hit home.

We walk through key themes from Pastor Ken’s new book and explore how God shapes us, calls us, and heals us through our connections with others.

What We Talk About:

• What bothers you is often what God is calling you toward. Pastor Ken unpacks his line from Chapter 1: “You can discover what God has called you to do by paying attention to what really bothers you.” He explains why holy frustration is more than irritation—it’s often direction.
• When the mirror lies. I read a powerful paragraph from page 16 (“When the Mirror Lies”), and then Pastor Ken opens up about the lie his “mirror” told him—and how he overcame it with truth, identity, and a whole lot of grace.
• Conflict doesn’t destroy unity—God redeems it. From page 24, we dive into how conflict is not the enemy of unity. Pastor Ken shares why unity doesn’t erase our differences, it redeems them—and how seeing relationships this way can change everything from marriage to friendships to church life.
• God-designed masculinity and femininity. I read a section from page 26 about men bearing the masculine and women bearing the feminine. Pastor Ken shares how that revelation hit him, what shaped it, and why honoring God’s design actually strengthens relationships rather than boxing people in.
