This Week's Recommendations

  1. Three lies that separate spousesDave Harvey’s first lie is, “I can’t forgive you until you confess all the sin I see.”

  2. How the gospel answers shame in college studentsConnie Leung Nelson explains, “For a long time, when I noticed students withdrawing or heard them voice a sense of shame, my first impulse was to reassure them there was nothing wrong with them. I’d direct them to their accomplishments in an attempt to counteract shame with honor. But pointing students to their work and successes doesn’t un-shame them. Instead, we can minister to students who struggle with shame by helping them see the full, true gospel of God’s love for sinners in the work of Christ.”

  3. I know God’s a writerBrianna Lambert offers, “The more I learn about writing—form, literary devices, flow, narrative, symbolism—the more I see the way God employs them. I know God is a writer. But I could also be wrong.”

  4. A marriage proposal spoken entirely in office jargonIf you’ve spent much time in corporate America, this post by Evan Barber will make you smile, “This relationship has been such a value-add. Some of my friends were worried that it would take too long for us to get into alignment. But you have been an absolute rockstar.”
