I’ve been struggling to wrap my mind around the news that Boundless is sunsetting. In some ways the news is like hearing that a good friend is moving far away for good. I first discovered Boundless in 2007 when I was attending a secular college and needed help bringing my faith into that sphere. Once the podcast started, I have been a regular listener looking forward to each new episode. I have learned so much about God, myself, and how to connect to the world around me through listening to the conversations that Lisa and so many other wonderful people have had. While serving internationally, through COVID, during many life transitions, Boundless has been my soundtrack. I thank you for this ministry and I will grieve it coming to an end. Lisa, John, Bri, all the best in your next chapter!
I started listening to Boundless and reading the blog as a young Christian before marrying my first husband and having a child. Listening and reading changed my perspective of marriage and opened my mind enough to want to pursue it. I wish I had learned more about the principles to make a godly marriage successful from before, unfortunately I divorced and years later remarried my second husband. Now feel more confident living out my faith, having a surrendered life and being a true Christian. So thankful for this ministry, I will continue to revisit and share the content with my daughter, who is a young believer and hopeful to marry well one day.
Thank you for all those who have faithfully and thoughtfully served through the Boundless ministry over the years. I found Boundless particularly helpful in my teenage/early adulthood years, in helping me be thoughtful in how following Jesus shaped the way I saw family and relationships. It helped me to stretch my thinking in a way my local church was not able to at the time. My husband and I are now both studying at Seminary with a view to go into paid gospel ministry wherever the Lord leads us. Thank you for the encouragement this ministry has been.
I started listening to Boundless when I had a crush, and I really enjoyed listening to the wisdom and humor. That crush became my girlfriend and the episodes were helpful as we navigated dating. While dating, I had a difficult incident and submitted a question/prayer request on Instagram DM and the Boundless team responded and said they prayed for me. Listening to other Christians talk about relationships and adulting was refreshing during week. God has used Boundless in helping me become a better man, boyfriend and helped shaped me for marriage with my wife! Thankful for your faithfulness and support.
I first started listening to Boundless when we moved to Saguache. I had to work in Center, CO on Saturdays and I got off work at 12:30. I listened to Boundless on Family Life Radio on my 1/2 hour drive home. It was a hard time for me, I was going through a lot. I instantly fell in love with Lisa. She was a source of joy for me and I really looked forward to the program. I’m a 66 year old married woman. I would tell people my favorite Podcast is for single millennials. I’m super sad, I’m truly going to miss Lisa and Boundless. Thank you Lisa. You will never know just how many lives you have touched, even someone who didn’t fit the mold.
I am 65 and I have been married for 43 years but I have benefited from this ministry for over ten years I am so sad to lose this weekly connection to such inspirational content and amazing people. I have loved the straightforward approach of this group instead of a lot of empty fluff. I wish you all the very best and hope to find you soon plugged back in where we can continue to be edified by you! God Bless you and thank you!
I will miss your podcast so much! As a pastor's wife in Miami, I always loved learning about YAs from you all. I also really enjoyed the spiritual insights and reminders that God is in control of all. Thank you and God bless you!
I was sad to hear about Boundless being discontinued, but at the same time I was relieved that the site will still remain. I've been around here since before the Boundless show started, and during all these years, I have learnt and argued, and been challenged and comforted. I'm truly grateful for what Boundless has been doing. A special thanks to Lisa (of course!) and my favorite writer/contributor Suzanne Hadley Gosselin.
I have read Boundless from 2007, then I was a single Christian living in Bangladesh (my home country), it was such a beautiful site for single Christians, it really helped me through some dark single days. Then in 2010 I moved to Vancouver, Canada. Still a single but no family or people I grew up with and the singleness was a ever present reminder in my life but God used my single season for great blessing to my church and people surrounding me. As I lead youth and young adults in my churches it gave me perspective and encouragement. I shared the site with many fellow believers. Finally in 2022 I got married to a good Godly man but to this day I still read boundless for the great perspective on Christian living. So thank you, you have been so much blessing in my life, such encouragement in dark days, reminder of our father's love for singles. Love you boundless and will truly miss you.
I grew up listening to Boundless and all Focus on the Family ( Adventures in Odyssey, Brio mag)
Know that all the work you poured into this project impacted the life of a girl. And I’m sure there’s many others! Hebrews 6:10
I’m really sorry to see this because I frequently directed my children to Boundless. Appreciated Ted Slater’s work with Boundless.
Boundless has been part of my adulting journey. Beginning from the blog posts to the podcasts, I am blessed by how God shaped me through this ministry. Work, relationships, friendships, sex, marriage, dating - somethings are lesser discussed here in Malaysia, even so lesser in the church I grew up in. This was a safe space to learn and get questions answered. Thank you for all the years the Boundless team has poured into this ministry. To God be the glory. Amen.
Thank you for your ministry! I stumbled across Boundless in my early 20s and have been encouraged weekly as I heard from other singles. I have a better perspective and can remain hopeful as I turned 30 and remain single.
I have been continuously blessed by Boundless ever since I discovered it in 2017. I was edging out of my twenties and generally confused by the world's expectations and God's standards. When I started reading the blogs and listening to the podcasts, my life was literally transformed. I'm in my thirties, still waiting but hopeful. I have since recommended the website to as many people as I can, and those around me have noticed a change in my attitude regarding singleness and marriage. I give God all the glory. Continue the good work.
I wrote this in 2021, and it still holds today as Boundless closes. It is a bittersweet moment, but I appreciate all the work that has been done over the years.
Oh bummer, this was so, so, so good, and the podcast just kept getting better! From the beginning up until now, it kept getting more Biblically solid, applicable, uplifting and fun to listen-in-on. It stayed wholesome as time went on and more content was produced, and Lisa always brought it back to the Bible when guest would start 'getting into the weeds' with theology. It was biblical, had the perfect pace, and kept everyone interested. We liked the segments that you broke it into. Thanks Lisa, team, and panel guests! We also enjoyed carrying on the discussions in our home, and your voice has been the only podcast that we can hear well (without turning the volume of additional speakers up, all the way) because your voice carries perfectly. I know it's all little things, but God had/has eternity packed into the details. Even our almost teens and teens enjoyed it. Well done! God has great plans for you!
Wow, I remember when I first discovered this ministry 12 years ago after seeing some random Facebook post. It was quite helpful in my young adult years. So many great resources. Blogs and podcasts were quite enjoyable and insightful. Thank you for your service, sad to see you go.
Boundless was a lifeline in my season of singleness…and even since, I’ve loved what the podcast has brought to our Christian culture. So very thankful for how God used so many of you to shape and change my heart. ❤️
Boundless has been a wonderful resource for me all this time. I'm sad to see this go and will miss it terribly. I wish only the best for Lisa and those who have been working it all these years. ❤⭐🌹
I've seen others use this word - lifeline. Boundless was a beacon of hope when being a single adult felt like drifting at sea. Now, as an old married lady of 52, I haven't visited Boundless for years but I am forever grateful for how you honored the Lord and ministered to me and others.
Dear Boundless,
I listened to every podcast, read every article and went to Pursuit in 2014. You provided me encouragement and a community during my singlehood. I was very involved in the singles ministry at my church and Boundless was a place for resources and encouragement to be a Christian and single. You all helped encouraged me and others not to compromise and to embrace the season so God can reveal His plan for us. Thank you so so much.
