Why is it that we put massive amounts of effort into dating someone we barely know? The person that we may or may not like anymore in a few months time? When couples begin dating they spend hours talking on the phone, flowers are bought, dates are planned, time is spent "looking ones best" and so much more and then.......... You are two years into a long term dating relationship or you are newly married and wondering what went wrong. You were so in love, you felt important an

Your wedding is one of the most memorable days of your life! The happiness, the excitement, the joy, and the wonder, but what about when everything goes wrong? It will still be one of your most memorable days but will you be able to look back on it with happiness, excitement, joy, and wonder? We have a 20-year-old daughter, and her best friend was getting married! We were so excited when we received the beautiful invitation in the mail! We were celebrating with this young cou

Everything is sexualized We live in a society where everything is sexualized. Movies, pop-stars, magazines, songs, TV shows, books, and the list could go on and on. We see and hear about sex everywhere we look, Christian or not. We don't even have to go looking for it. It is there staring us in the face whether we want it to be or not. So why then is it so hard to talk about within our marriages, friend groups or our churches? Sex within in marriages isn't something that shou

Then time passes by, careers come into the picture, kids come along, life is busy and stressful, and that safe space that you used to have in the arms of your spouse seems to have shrunk, and you don't quite fit like you used to. You sit down for a minute and look at your spouse, and for a brief moment, you realize that you don't quite know them

At some point, all Christians find themselves in a place of doubt or struggling in their faith. To me, those two words go together; doubt and struggle. They can be used in either sequence too. Doubt leads to struggle, or a battle in life leads us to doubt Christ. Faith struggles. When you are sitting in this place, what do you do? Looking for all the biblical truths that you know is a significant first step. This helps to calm nerves and then think about what is causing the d

I LOVE HIM/HER I love __(name)__! Is that enough? Someone told me that love isn't enough. That there has to be more than that to make a marriage work. There has to be respect and compromise. There has to be mutual understandings and so much more. I just don't know if we have all of that. Have you heard people talk this way before? To me it seems to be the case more often than not. There needs to be a shift in this thinking. I want to challenge you to follow along with me for

Different forms of worship and postures in worship. It was beautiful and inspiring. I felt deeply connected to God as we sang worship songs and listened to recited poetry. Then there was a shift in me when our worship pastor shared a story about a veteran who had been in the process of getting ready t
