Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
You might remember that I shared five song recommendations near Thanksgiving last year. Although there are lots of songs I could’ve included in that post, I opted to include just five. But I actually have five more song recommendations for you in this post, if you want to add them to your Thanksgiving playlist.
I’ve evaluated a few of Shawn Mendes’ songs—"Stiches" and "Treat You Better" and "There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back"—in prior posts. I’m not a big fan of those three songs because the lyrics are, well, somewhat questionable. But I don’t hate all of Shawn’s songs. In fact, we’re going to evaluate one today that has a great message.
Last night, I had a dream that James* was married—but not to me. He was married to the girl he started dating approximately five seconds after he ghosted me. It was strange to see him wearing a gold wedding band in my dream. But frankly, I’m glad I’m not the one who gave it to him.
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.
Unfortunately, lies about friendship are sometimes believed by God’s people. I know this is true because I’ve fallen for them and allowed them to affect my life. Believing these lies certainly hurts our relationships with our friends, but it also hurts our relationships with God. I wrote this post to evaluate two specific lies about friendship so that we can realign our beliefs with the truth and understand how to approach friendship biblically.
If you winced when you saw the title of this post, you’re probably an introvert like me. I hate when people tell me I need to step outside my comfort zone. But to be honest, I often end up thriving when I take their advice. I hope you’ll consider taking mine.
Even though I wasn’t alive during the 1960s and 1970s, I feel like I have a decent grasp on them because I’ve watched Jesus Revolution. It’s an excellent Christian movie—better than most Christian movies I’ve seen over the years. Whether you were alive during the real Jesus Revolution or not, I think you’ll enjoy the movie version of this time period.
I’ve never consumed alcohol—not even a beer at a party or a glass of wine at a restaurant or a sip of champagne at a wedding. There’s a specific reason I’ve avoided alcohol. It’s required intentionality. And while you may not agree with my reason, I promise it’s simple.
Chemistry is a concept that generally feels abstract and mysterious. It often involves people’s appearances, but it can also involve their personality types, their communication styles, and other aspects of who they are. Though it’s not very concrete, I believe it’s more significant than many Christians think.
