In life, we often face the challenge of knowing when to hold on to relationships and when to let go. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 teaches us that there is a season for everything and a time for every purpose under heaven. Sometimes, tearing down and separation are necessary steps for growth and well-being.

Balancing personal relationships with the demands of a mission-driven life can be challenging. This is particularly true when family ties come into play. In Acts 15:36-41, we see a vivid example of this dilemma. Paul and Barnabas, two powerful leaders in the early church, faced a significant disagreement over whether to include John Mark, Barnabas’s
