Relationship Robbers

Exposing and Overcoming Ten Enemies of Relationships with God’s Wisdom and Grace

Healthy relationships are one of God’s greatest gifts—and one of Satan’s most frequent targets.

Relationships don’t always collapse overnight. Instead, they are weakened by subtle attitudes and unchecked responses that quietly steal trust, joy, and unity over time.

In Relationship Robbers, Pastor Daniel Mawson identifies ten common, but often overlooked, enemies that undermine relationships in the home, church, and everyday life. Issues such as jealousy, pride, bitterness, selfishness, unresolved conflict, and unmet expectations often work beneath the surface, gradually eroding even strong relationships if left unaddressed.

This ten-week small-group study takes a biblical and practical approach to exposing these hidden dangers and guiding you toward lasting change. Each lesson helps identify warning signs, examines clear teaching from Scripture, and points to wisdom from God’s Word as the pathway to healing and restoration in your relationships.

With leader suggestions and questions for group discussion, Relationship Robbers equips believers to confront relational challenges honestly and to strengthen God-given relationships through grace, humility, and obedience to God’s Word.
