I kissed watching The Bachelor goodbye. Yes, I have joined millions in watching many episodes over the seasons of the wildly popular show. Overall, 8.33 million viewers tune into The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, and the programs pull their highest rating share in the 18-49 year-old demographic. I laughed at the ridiculous antics of contestants […]

This is the next videocast in the Radically Redemptive Relationships series. We talk about betrayal, but the truth is that we can’t put words to it. We were made to never be betrayed, and so we don’t manage it well. We rage at God, we hurt others, and ourselves. Betrayal is the exact opposite of […]

Today we show the videocast you’ve all been waiting for. Holly shares that she is married to the best man (and I know him and he seems pretty great), but that still isn’t good enough. When I was in middle school I wrote an essay called, “Mr. Right.” I described my dream man as a […]

It was 25 degrees outside. Windchill of 5. The sun was just rising and the last thing I wanted to do was to put on my layers of running clothes, lace up my rarely-used, but guaranteed to make you want to exercise Hoka’s. But I did. I was resolute. When the wind blasted my face, […]
