Lisa Anderson | Director of Young Adults

I’m single. So is about 50 percent of the U.S. adult population. But being single in evangelical churches today can be tricky. Singles (even younger ones) can feel slighted, forgotten and misunderstood. Is there a fix for all the missteps and hurt feelings? I believe there’s a way forward, but it takes intention on the part of singles, marrieds, church leadership and anyone else willing to listen and dig in. Our conversations on the show this week in both the Roundtable and Culture segments attempt to do just that. Give them a listen and let us know what you think!




And here’s another reminder to sign up for our stellar-if-I-do-say-so Boundless Advent Experience, a four-week video devotional delivered right to your phone (only one text per week). Sign up by texting ADVENT to 32728. Don’t miss out on something super meaningful and attainable. And it’s my former pastor Mark Bates doing the teaching. Woot!


Preview of Next Week:

On the Show — The rise of Friendsgiving, the history of Thanksgiving, and grief at the holidays

Finding the Courage to Stay

You might be tempted to find a new church, but there's so much pressure to leave the church that it actually requires courage to stay.

“It’s My Responsibility”: A Man’s Take on Modesty





Boundless Community




It is assumed that men are naturally programmed to look lustfully at women no matter what. If we look at the Bible, we see a different story.
