Why I Like “The Right One” by Sarah Reeves

Sarah Reeves has some songs I like and some songs I dislike, but I think “The Right One” is her best song. I really appreciate the candid advice she shares in it about not settling. Honestly, the fact that she got divorced in 2021 and remarried in 2024 (per Wikipedia) makes me wonder if she wrote it because she didn’t pick the right guy the first time. Maybe she doesn’t want other people to make the same mistake she did. All I know for sure is “The Right One” has the right message.

Interview with Bob Wheatley

Hi friends! Today’s post is a video interview I did with Bob Wheatley, a single Christian guy in his 30s who once played professional baseball and now writes and speaks. I hope this conversation edifies you and reminds you that your season of singleness has significance.

The Beauty of the Chase

I’ve seen it more times than I can count—the girl who decides to take matters into her own hands when she loves a guy who’s ambivalent toward her or even uninterested in her. She makes excuses for his lack of initiation, claiming he’s just too nervous or too shy to take the lead. So she takes the lead instead. She seeks him out, talks to him, flirts with him, texts him, and asks him out. But deep down, it’s unsatisfying because she wants what every girl wants—to be chased.

Is He Ready for a Romantic Relationship?

Seven years ago, I published a post called Are You Ready for a Romantic Relationship? right before Valentine’s Day. In that post, I shared a few indicators that someone might not be ready for a romantic relationship. But honestly, I didn’t focus enough on the most obvious (and significant) indicator that someone isn’t ready for a romantic relationship, so I'll do that in this post. Consider it a very delayed sequel.

Are Friendship and Marriage Essentially the Same? (Part 2)

There are so many things God designed a man and woman to experience and enjoy in marriage, but this post just focuses on three of them. I do want to note that the unique characteristics of marriage included below are based on God’s intent for marriage. I realize some marriages are very challenging, dysfunctional, and/or brief. However, imperfect marriages exist because of the Fall, not because of a flaw in God’s design. With that in mind, let’s examine three major distinctions between marriage and friendship.

Are Friendship and Marriage Essentially the Same? (Part 1)

Several weeks ago, I listened to a podcast episode during which a pastor discussed a sermon he’d preached about true love. Ultimately, it seemed like he viewed marriage and friendship as equivalent. He treated them as substitutes—as if there are no major differences between them. But I was frustrated with his message because there are major differences between friendship and marriage, and honestly, that frustration fueled this post.

Why I Don’t Like Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time is a TV show that was popular several years ago but faded into obscurity. Even though people don’t talk about it much anymore, I decided to try to it—and I was hooked on it for a week or two. I watched episode after episode, making solid progress in the first season. I really wanted to like it, but I couldn’t get past the immorality.
