Will You Marry Us?
More and more Millennials are choosing their friends to officiate their weddings instead of their pastors. What’s behind this trend, and is it going to continue? Is it meaningful or problematic?

Hebrews 13:4
Hebrews 13:4 says marriage is to be honored by all, but what does that look like practically for the single person?
