Be Friendly
Friendship isn’t easy. But it’s rewarding. And Pastor Scott Sauls has found friendship in some pretty unlikely places—like with the former addict who’s now a leader at his church. In his new book Befriend, he also encourages friendships with bullies, strangers, the dying and (gulp) even your own family, arguing that we and the kingdom […]
A Lesbian Skeptic Finds True Love
Lesbian professor Rosaria Butterfield didn’t have much patience for Christians. She saw them as mean spirited and narrow minded. Until she met a kind, unassuming pastor who proved her wrong. Her conversations with him and his wife led her to a Savior who she never knew. Now a pastor’s wife, lecturer and author of The […]
Women in Power
We talked before about the power of the single woman today, and what that means when it comes to education, work, money, freedom and relationships. The fact is, women have incredible opportunities in today’s culture and market, but what does that do to the stereotypes of the “traditional” woman? What about the Christian woman? Our […]

So if you’re hung up on an ideal, the hope of a soul mate, or the assumption that marriage is a carefully-constructed sure bet, think again. Marriage is wonderfully […]
Trusting God with Our Country’s Future
For all of us the ability to vote and help determine our country’s future is a huge privilege. The United States is soon to face a historic national election, and many, including Christians, are fearful of the potential outcome.

Trusting God for Your Nation’s Future
It feels like we’ve been through a war in America. In one of the weirdest, meanest and most contested national elections in history, decisions have now been made that will shape the United States’ future.

Taking a Stand
Remember the whole, “Would you believe me if I said I was a 6’5” Asian woman” set-up? Yeah, we do, too. The responses were startling. And somewhat sobering. Truth is pretty squishy on today’s college campuses, but what about in the minds of Christian young adults? How about yours? You can’t assume your friends believe […]
