Co-workerlationships – Boundless

You’re working late at the office one Thursday evening, and suddenly you realize your chances for eating at a reasonable time passed hours ago. As you prepare to pack up your laptop, you see another light at the end of the hall. It’s your boss. Seeing that you, his diligent employee, are still burning the

Don’t Waste Your Unemployment – Boundless

I still remember how my stomach turned when the CEO called everyone into the conference room. An unscheduled meeting on a Friday afternoon is never a good sign, and my stomach was right: In fifteen short minutes, we learned that our organization was relocating to another state and half the staff was being laid off.

Clear the Decks – Boundless

April 29, 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of a dramatic landing on the deck of the USS Midway that required newly installed Rear Admiral Lawrence Chambers to make a $10 million decision.

Leave Your Average Life Behind

Adam gets up every morning and eats an average breakfast and brushes his average teeth. He puts on his average clothes, combs his average hair, hops in his average car and drives off to his average job.

Several months ago, I heard a startling statement from a pastor: “Nine out of 10 couples who come in for premarital counseling are not waiting until marriage for sex.” This statistic shocked me, but I guess it shouldn’t have. I have noticed similar patterns in my own Christian circles. I’ve heard more than one dating

A Damaging View of Sex

“Christians come to talk with me, distraught because sex on their wedding night was nothing like they expected… and definitely not what they hoped for.” My friend Liza Wright, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in Christian sex therapy, told me this the other day. Many of the women come to her in tears, not

At Least It’s Not Porn

During college, when I decided to grow a mullet and go to Peru and design my own tattoo, my parents let me. I can imagine them in bed each night reminding each other, “Well, it could be worse. At least he hasn’t pierced his ears.” For some reason, getting my ears pierced was one of
