Summary
Things singles need from marrieds, plus helping a friend stuck in sin, and relationship dynamics for those in white-collar and blue-collar jobs.
Featured musical artist: JJ Heller
Roundtable: Help From Married Friends
Your married friends might mean well, but when it comes to offering help, they may need a little direction. Whether setting you up on a date, offering encouragement or prayer, or helping with practical needs, a little clarity goes a long way. Our panel of single young adults give their best tips for marrieds on things to say, what not to say, and how to best pour into the lives of their unmarried friends.
Culture: Confronting Sin
When you see a brother or sister in Christ struggling with a pattern of sin and they don’t seem bothered by it, what should you do? Pastor Mark Bates joins us to walk through how to lovingly confront someone for their own spiritual benefit. He shares why this is important, what the end goal should be, and ways to approach what can be a tricky conversation.
Inbox: White Collar, Blue Collar
Whether you work a blue-collar or a white-collar job, there are different stressors that come with each one. What must you work through to fire on all cylinders in these areas? Also, what are the unique dating challenges for each type of career, especially if you’re a man? Bryan Gilman weighs in.
