Summary
How to love weddings as a single guest, plus ordinary workers who did great things, and separating your work life from your personal life.
Featured musical artist: Aaron Shust
Roundtable: Attending Weddings as a Single
Wedding season is upon us. It’s an exciting time, but for many single adults it can be lonely or even downright depressing. This week’s guests, all single, share how to confidently show up at weddings, celebrate the bride and groom, and still have fun in the process. If you’re dreading that next wedding invitation, you’ll be encouraged by this conversation.
Culture: God Loves Ordinary Jobs
Some people think that to glorify God and make a difference, you need to be in full-time Christian ministry. But God loves all kinds of work and uses it (and people) for His good purposes. Jordan Raynor shares examples of people who trusted God with their “real world” jobs and used their creativity, perseverance and business know-how to make the world better. Get ready to be inspired by the true-grit stories of a pastor turned puppeteer, a toymaker and others.
