A reader struggles with Jesus' words: "whoever marries the divorced woman commits adultery." Read more in He Said, She Said.

More Christians are joining the sober curious movement, rethinking alcohol’s role in their lives—not out of addiction, but from a desire to live with greater intention and spiritual alignment.

Without a doubt, the most common question I hear is, “When is the right time for the first kiss in a godly relationship?” But the frustrating truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

So often, our fears are based on nothing more than a thought, suggestion, or opinion. When I find myself fretting over an unknown future, I ask God for clarity and wisdom.

Marriage may be part of your story—or it may not—but it is never the goal. What matters most is living fully within the path God has written for you, starting right now.

When patience turns to desperation, even marriage can feel like a backup plan. But is this what the Lord desires for your life and heart?

All of us have people in our lives: friends, coworkers, parents, spouses, children. And as sinful people, often these relationships will experience rough patches.

We must never forget God does not operate on our timetable, so we are forced to wait on his, and this is where the challenge comes in. Since there is a waiting place for all of us, how you navigate in this space is critical, so you don’t lose heart or your faith in the process.

Are we bugging God when we pray about the same thing? No. He loves for his children to talk with Him. I think some deeper questions here could be, “Does God hear me if He is not answering my prayers.” “Am I praying for something in line with God’s will?” “What is the Lord cultivating in me through praying?”
