    Reflecting at 40! Life lessons and mistakes you can learn from

    This year Natalie and I celebrated our 40th birthdays! It is certainly a special number, it's a milestone in life where we did (and continue to) do lots of reflecting on our lives. What have we learned? Who have we become? What do we wish could have happened differently? Why did God allow us to pass through certain challenges and trials? A wise man once said "experience is the best teacher, as long as it's someone else's experience". So here we share some things we hope and pray help you not trip over the same rocks of life that we have. Let us know your thoughts in the comments! What life lessons did you experience that you would want others to learn from?

    Single, Saved, and Slightly Confused: Dating as a Christian ft. Yahaira Piñon, Sergio Balandran, and Michael Briseño

    Let's face it, being single and Christian in a non-Christian world is not easy. There is all kinds of temptations and influences that throw mixed signals at us causing confusion, distorting the original design that God had in mind. Add in the over-sexualized entertainment industry plus social media full of "influencers" that have manicured pictures and videos into the mix, it is understandable how Christian singles are like on a remote island without a map. Our friends join us to chat about it all! Some topics discussed: *Do you have to share the same religion or beliefs? *When you “don’t feel peace” is it really because it’s not God’s will? Or could it just be fear? *Alot of people say christian’s standards are too high… thoughts? *What are non-negotiables? Can they be different for everyone? *Is there a THE ONE? Or does God let you choose? *Is it true that you have to fully surrender your desire to marry & then you’ll get it? *What’s the role of a boyfriend in a relationship? Many want to “lead” while dating, is that bad?
