What’s Your Love Style?
Are you an avoider?
A pleaser?
How about a chaotic or a vacillator?
Those are four of the five love styles you and your spouse likely see in your marriage. Their various combinations describe the core patterns driving a couple’s interactions and the problems they cause.
Avoiders and pleasers don’t experience much conflict, but for all the wrong reasons. Avoiders don’t like to have honest conversations because they get messy, and pleasers worry their spouse will get mad.

How to Navigate Tough Issues as a Family
It’s hard to see around an elephant.
They get in the way when you’re trying to connect with people. They keep you from seeing or hearing each other very well. That’s true literally and figuratively.
When there’s an elephant in the room, relationship is hindered because there’s a problem hiding in plain sight that no one is willing to acknowledge, let alone talk about.
It happens in marriages. It happens in families. It happens in business.

Trusting God Through the Messiness of Life
How does a person find peace when everything around him is communicating, “Nobody cares about me. Nobody loves me”?
That’s the question Bart Millard, the lead singer of the popular Christian band MercyMe, had to answer. The lyrics for his number-one Christian song I Can Only Imagine were an expression of love toward his Heavenly Father … and an earthly father who filled Bart’s life with suffering.
Bart’s father had been a sweet and loving man until he was hit by a truck while working for the highway department.
Heaven: Our Ultimate Hope and Home
Anne Graham Lotz is the daughter of the late Reverend Billy Graham. You can hear echoes of him in her voice – both in her southern accent … and in the way she talks about heaven.
She says:
“I wonder if you’ve ever really had a home. Were you raised in an orphanage? Were you in a situation where your family moved from place to place to place? If you’ve never really had a place that was your own, there is a heavenly home that has your name written on it.
