Stop scrolling! Watch Relationship Goals the Movie. Read the book. Listen to the Sermon Series.
Day 19: Today’s lesson coincides with the release of a new romantic-comedy movie entitled,“Relationship Goals”. It’s free to watch on Prime Video and features my favorite man of God, Pastor Mike Todd! Pastor Mike wrote the book and now appears in the movie, available to watch as of today, February 4th!
It’s a super-cute and funny rom-com with a serious message about dating and marriage. The movie is the third leg of a franchise that includes a viral Relationship Goals sermon series and a #1 NY Times best-selling Relationship Goals book.
Pastor Mike uploaded his first Relationship Goals sermon on Aug 7, 2017, 8 years ago. Since that time, the sermon, entitled, “Before the Person: Relationship Goals (Part 1)” has 11,079,726 views. The series has 8 sessions.
Pastor Mike and his team were shocked and delighted by the attention that his message received. Placing God, respect and faith at the center caused people to re-evaluate their situations and make changes with his encouragement.
And now, there’s a very entertaining movie to help spread the message further.
Hit REFRESH on your relationship with Holy Spirit. Connect to the Unified Space and change your point of view.
The mission of Transformation Church in Tulsa, OK, is to re-present God to the lost and the found for transformation in Christ. Pastor Mike and his wife, Natalie, serve this mission well by seeking unusual ways to capture the attention of people of all ages.
Pastor Mike and his team want to pull people away from the River of Shame also known as the busy, Split Mind space fueled by social media and broken relationships. Instead, you’ll receive good spiritual food and positive connection fueled by Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
The goal is to live your relationships from the connected, River of Grace, Unified Mind space. A world of discovery waits for you there.
Feeling happy, safe and protected doesn’t exist in a relationship that operates in the Split Mind zone. So, why fight to stay there? Instead, maintain unified space with your primary relationships.
Develop a relationship with Jesus and Holy Spirit by finding ways to connect with them in Unified Space (the River of Grace). Pray, worship, read your Bible, express your gratitude for their favor and have conversations with them. Your choice. Just do it!
Connecting your primary family and social relationships to the Unified Space changes everything about how you love, respect and protect the ones entrusted to you.
If the relationship doesn’t FIT within the connected and comforting Unified zone, then it falls into disconnected, busy Split Mind space. And that is a perfectly, dreadful place to be.
- Practice releasing the discouraging thoughts that block your connection.
- Push those thoughts out of the way.
- Remind yourself of the different ways you’ve been cared for, rescued and protected by Jesus.
- Thank Holy Spirit for giving you ideas for how to prosper in life, and especially, for his ideas on how to escape from the traps you’ve fallen into.
A Course in Miracles (ACIM), Lesson 19 video
Today’s ACIM lesson connects to this relationship conversation with the following illuminating thought from the Workbook:
Today, we are again emphasizing the fact that minds are joined. This is rarely a wholly welcome idea at first, since it seems to carry with it an enormous sense of responsibility, and may even be regarded as an "invasion of privacy." Yet it is a fact that there are no private thoughts. Despite your initial resistance to this idea, you will yet understand that it must be true if salvation is possible at all. And salvation must be possible because it is the will of God.
ACIM Workbook Lesson 19: Section 2
The exercise for Lesson 19 asks the student to repeat this sentence and fill in the blank with the random thoughts you have in your mind. Thoughts are the cause that creates the effect.
“I am not alone in experiencing the effects of this thought about ___________.”
Coreen wraps up the discussion, saying that every thought affects the entire, unified “Sonship” (all minds being joined). This applies to both negative thoughts (fear) and positive ones (forgiveness/love). Video time stamp: (11:47-12:45).
