Don't Overcomplicate It (Adulting with Jesus 3 - Pastor Mike)

Don't Overcomplicate It (Adulting with Jesus 3 - Pastor Mike)

Author: 922 Ministries June 1, 2026 Duration: 36:45

Steve Jobs promised the iPhone would change everything. He was right — including the way we think about dating, marriage, and having kids. But some things haven't changed.

In week 3 of Adulting with Jesus, Pastor Mike explores what God's Word says about marriage and family in a digital age — cutting through the cultural noise of Pinterest boards, dating apps, and the pressure to have it all figured out first.

You'll walk away with three things Jesus wants you to know about marriage: it's optional, it doesn't require much, and it's one of the best pictures of the gospel you'll ever experience. Plus — why the Bible's view of children might be the most countercultural thing you hear all week.

Whether you're single, dating, married, or somewhere in between, this one's for you.
