Every relationship goes through hard times. What does it take to survive? When is it OK to call it quits?

The surprising key to a fulfilling marriage – and how to make it happen. A lot.

In a culture that glorifies the thrill of the chase, the benefits of marriage are often overlooked. What if saying “I do” has a much greater impact than we think?

Fear of failure has inspired alternatives to formally tying the knot. But the cure just might be worse than the disease. Is there a better way to ensure success?

In our worst and darkest moments, everyone wishes for a “do over.” Could it be that it’s possible? Could it be that it’s already happened?

We often go to great lengths to show that we’re worthy of being valued and loved. What if we could relax because someone else already has?

In our quest to improve ourselves, many times it feels like we’re stuck in quicksand. Turns out, the problem is far worse than that.

All of us are driven by the desire to be free. Unfortunately, what we think will bring us freedom often has the opposite effect.

In spite of our best efforts, we don't always experience the life for which we were intended. What if there are larger forces behind the scenes working against us?

There are many ways to live, but to live fully requires embracing the glorious nature of what it means to be created in the image of God.

So much of what goes on in our head is directly linked to voices outside of it. Some of those are helpful and others are not.

Left unaddressed and untreated, anxiety and depression can become untamed beasts capable of destroying life; sometimes literally. How can we overcome our shame and get help?

When life truly hurts, three radical techniques prescribed by Jesus and the ancient prophets can keep us from becoming mentally and emotionally overwhelmed.

Everyone has to deal with people and situations that are less than optimal. But the way we assess and evaluate those “problems” dramatically affects everything about us.

Scientists have discovered that our thought patterns can literally reshape and rewire our brain. Just as importantly, they also can also reshape and rewire our life.

Obesity is a national health epidemic costing billions of dollars a year. More and more of us are weighted down and worn out from being out of shape. What would it take to create more breathing room – literally – around our waistlines?

We live in a culture that continually tells us to pursue a higher standard of living in order to improve our quality of life. But “standard of living” and “quality of life” aren’t the same. What if our pursuit of the first is undermining the second?

Our schedules are packed with career, family, friends, church, and other responsibilities. Sometimes our days are so full that we don’t enjoy anything because we’re trying to do everything. Somehow, we need to create breathing room in our schedules. But where do we start?

Our lives are busy and fast-paced which makes the idea of breathing room seem more like a luxury than a necessity. However, our lack of margin has some seriously negative consequences.
