dating
All about dating. First dates, three years into a relationship, Tinder, and more.
Christ Is King
Every culture has a throne. The only question is who sits on it. Some people crown themselves. Others crown society. Still others crown the government, or money, or pleasure. But someone or something always rules the human heart. The idea of living without a king is an illusion, because every human being worships something.

The War on Order
We live in a time when doing the right thing often feels like an act of rebellion. When honesty can ruin a career. When decency is mocked as naïve. When standing for truth invites hatred, censorship, and isolation. Somehow, the people who uphold virtue have become the villains in the story of modern culture.

The Death of “Live and Let Live”
There was a time when “live and let live” actually meant something noble. It meant respecting each other’s differences, coexisting in peace, and not forcing our personal views onto our neighbors. It meant freedom of conscience, speech, and thought. It meant that the person next to you didn’t have to believe what you believed for both of you to live decent, peaceful lives.

Fathers and Sons. Content Warning.
When you are in the beginning stages of dating a man with kids, a good guy will try to keep his love life separate from his home life. Not to say that a guy who introduces a love interest to his progeny right away is a bad guy per se, but I personally don't think it's appropriate to introduce your kids to a new lover in the very beginning. It's one thing if it's not a common occurrence, but some people have multiple relationships a year, which has to be confusing for young kids. In my opinion, a good guy will wait until he's sure the relationship is solid first. When the time does come for you to meet the kids, it should be a sign that the relationship is becoming less casual and moving into more serious territory. While not usually as stressful as meeting the parents, meeting the kids isn't always a walk in the park either. After all, these are the people that will always come before you, who will always be his top priority. In my opinion, the better the father, the longer before he introduces you. If I had kids, especially young kids, I wouldn't want to introduce a prospective partner until I was sure that that person was someone that I wanted in my life potentially for the long-term.

When Advice Felt Like Arrows: A Story of Dignity in Hard Times
Introduction: When Words Wound Instead of Heal It started with a well-meaning text from a friend: “You just need to stay positive. Everything happens for a reason.” I stared at the screen, exhausted, eyes swollen from a night of crying, and wondered—how can something meant to comfort feel so piercing?

The Road That Led Us Home
We didn’t have a plan — just love, a couple of bags, and a promise that we’d figure it out somehow. Everyone said we wouldn’t make it. They told me I was crazy for leaving everything behind for someone who was still fighting his demons. But I didn’t care. I loved him, and at that time, love felt like enough.

Being Hated Is Proof You’re Becoming Unstoppable
Nobody tells you this out loud, but if you’ve recently found yourself being hated for no clear reason, you may have crossed an invisible line — the line between ordinary and undeniable. They don’t hate you because you failed. They hate you because you didn’t. They don’t despise your effort. They despise your audacity. They don’t attack your flaws. They attack your movement. And if you listen closely, there’s a secret buried beneath every insult they throw: “You did what I wouldn’t.”

You Were Made for This
We live in a world that constantly tries to define us by what we have, what we do, or what we look like. Expectations pile up, comparisons wear us down, and before long we forget who we really are. But God never called us to live by the world’s standards. He called us to live by His truth. You were created intentionally, designed for a purpose that no one else can fulfill. The same God who spoke galaxies into motion also spoke your name with love and purpose. No matter what season you are in, no matter what you have been through, God can and will use you right where you are.
