Resist the Drift

Marriage Conference

Have you and your spouse moved from soulmates to roommates?

What can you do to get the spark back?

Focus on the Family and Salem Media Group present Resist the Drift, a two-day marriage conference (Friday evening, November 8 and Saturday morning, November 9) here at FBCSA. Our trained marriage professionals share their story and what they’ve learned as they moved from roommates to soulmates. Couples will receive Bible-based concepts and tools to reconnect and strengthen their marriages.


Strengthen your connection. Rekindle your romance. Reawaken your adventure. We look forward to seeing you there!

Friday, November 8, 6:30pm - 9:30pm - Saturday, November 9, 9:00am - 12:00pm


What to expect

The Resist the Drift Marriage Conference is an opportunity to connect with your spouse and take a deeper dive into content created just for you. Sessions include:


Session 1: Roommates to Soulmates

Roommates don’t have time for each other; soulmates use simple, everyday moments to stay connected.


Session 2: Close Pursuit

Roommates are bored and their passion has been replaced by predictable routine; soulmates closely pursue each other in exciting ways.


Session 3: Fully Alive

Roommates are exhausted and have nothing to give; soulmates give regularly out of an abundantly full heart.


Session 4: In Our Wildest Dreams

Roommates have no long-term plans; soulmates pursue shared dreams together.


Childcare will not be provided. This is time designed specifically for you and your spouse only.
