Summary

Encouragement when your home life isn’t ideal, plus hope for single parents, and are Christians still committed to God’s standard for sex?    

 

Featured musical artist: David Dunn

 

Roundtable: Love Where You Live

 

What’s your current living situation and how do you feel about it? You may live by yourself, with roommates, your parents, or a married couple or family. Whatever the circumstances, each situation has pros and cons. Our panelists have lived in a variety of settings and with different types of people. They discuss lessons they’ve learned along the way as well as tips for staying encouraged and making the most of where God has you right now, even if it’s not ideal.

Culture: The Single Parent Path

 

Tez Brooks got the news nobody wants when his first wife left him. His divorce was both an emotional low and a spiritual wake-up call. In the years following, he navigated life as a single dad — raising two kids, adjusting to a new normal, embracing church and community in a new way, and healing relational wounds. Now remarried, Tez shares encouragement and strategies for single parents who feel overwhelmed, plus advice for trusting God when your life is turned upside down.

Well, friends, welcome to this week's episode of the Boundless Show.

0:14.9

This is Lisa Anderson here with you.

0:17.4

And as I often do, and by often, I mean generally always. I like to intro the show for you,

0:23.0

tell you what's coming up so you know what to anticipate and get excited about. So later on,

0:27.5

for our inbox, we are wondering, is purity dead? Do people even know the definition of purity

0:33.9

or when we talk about it? It's such a weird triggering word. But that is a very direct

0:39.6

question that our discouraged listener is asking because a lot of their Christian friends have

0:46.0

just kind of chucked it all out. And they're like, you know what? I'm just going to do what I want

0:49.8

to do. God will understand, whatever. I love my girlfriend. I love my boyfriend. I love my

0:53.8

boyfriend, whatever. So does it really

0:55.9

matter if we sleep together? So our counselor, Jeremy Keaton, is going to give some encouragement on those

parents. And then those of us who aren't, well, what does it look like to love and encourage

1:24.3

the single parents in our midst? And so I think we're going to have a great

1:28.0

encouraging conversation with him. All right, here we are for our roundtable. And today we are going

1:33.9

to talk about our home life. Now, this might be where we're currently living. It might be

1:39.8

home environments that we've lived in in the past, maybe actually growing up in our home of origin

1:44.7
