You have a hard and important job! Jamie Brusehoff is not only a mom but also a pastor’s wife. She says that she loves seeing and even hearing small children in church. “I see them learning. In the midst of the cries, whines, and giggles, in the midst of the crinkling of pretzel bags and the growing pile of crumbs, I see a little girl who insists on going two pews up to share… … Continue reading
Thank you Relevant Magazine and Eric Demeter for reminding us that not all dating advice is created equal. Some things we hear from well meaning friends and family can actually be pretty horrible advice. For instance… #1 You’ll Meet “The One” When You Stop Looking. People often respond with this pithy maxim when, in their opinion, someone they know is struggling with singleness “purgatory” or perhaps has been putting too much effort into finding a… … Continue reading

Live Service Out, our national service event, was this past weekend. Carlos and I met an amazing woman named Rachel at the rescue mission. She is an avid WAY-FM listener that was so excited to come and serve people breakfast. Rachel explained that she used to live on the streets.

I looked around the circle at the four faces of my nervous band mates. It was our first official “show” and we were terrified. I loved singing in the shower, but in front of PEOPLE? I was terrified. The head of our band, Terry, said an amazing inspiring speech reminding us that we were doing this for the glory of God and not for us. Terry always knew what to say. He was the spiritual… … Continue reading
It’s crazy when life situations perfectly reflect what is going on with you internally. Yesterday I moved to a new apartment across town. Moving is terrible and always frustrating. However, as I did my final walk through in my old apartment this morning, I realized that this move represents what I’m trying to do mentally right now. MOVE ON.

I don’t think so. As a guy who has been married, lost at love, and is trying again to let go and let God…the idea of “the one” doesn’t seem to fit me any more. What if because of my life’s decisions (or theirs) I’ve missed out on my “One”? What now? What if God doesn’t have one particular person you’re supposed to marry?
