What’s the difference between satisfaction and contentment when it comes to being single? Adrian Anderson offers some thoughts.
Joseph Solomon tells young Christian singles, “Don’t waste your singleness.”
When my wife Amber and I married, we had distorted views of how sex was supposed to be. I would argue that most couples would say the same. Our culture’s perspective on sex is overwhelmingly shaped and influenced by Hollywood’s vision and rarely by God’s biblical vision and practical wisdom. The wrong messages on sex […]

When it comes to difficulties in marriage, we often blame finances, confusion about gender roles, and parental disunity as reasons. However, I’ve learned that the silent killer of many marriages is sexual intimacy, or for some, the lack thereof. Too many couples are miserable in the bedroom and there are many reasons why. For some […]
Should I Let Her Know? Growing up, one of my favorite hip-hop artists was Talib Kweli. One of his lines from the song, “Hot Thing,” continues to stick with me: “I might be falling in love; should I let her know? A pimp told me if I love her, I should let her go.” This line hints at how […]
I’m getting married in 78 days. Most of the time, that reality hasn’t fully settled in on me. If you’d have asked me ten years ago what I hoped my future husband would be like, I would’ve laughed: nobody will want to marry me. Nobody could love this. You’re talking crazy talk! As my friendship […]
I had played this day out in my head for what seemed like forever. Hypothetical questions would run through my brain. What would I say? Would I be angry? What will his voice sound like? Would he even say sorry? My whole life had been spent without any existence of my biological father and when […]
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 My Fear: “Till Death” “Quina, will you marry me?” “Yyyeess…but…is there any way for us to ensure that we’ll grow old together until […]
Everything in our life has a narrative attached to it. A story. Things don’t happen in isolation, but are interconnected and fit within a storyline. This is also true for sex. [pullquote]Sex isn’t just an act, but one that fits within a narrative.[/pullquote] The narrative that God puts sex to is a sub story of covenant […]
Scenario: Christian A meets Christian B for lunch. Small talk ensues, with the discussion ranging from Lebron’s Batman mask to being persuaded by their wives to get a minivan after the second kid. Both are big into hip hop, so the discussion turns toward music. Both A and B discuss the most recent releases and […]
My Facebook timeline and Twitter feed have been filled with commentary about the Michael Dunn trial. It’s becoming an annual event—as expected as the Olympic games, only more frequent. But there are no medals to be won. Just graves to be dug. Questions left unanswered. Parents left to grieve. Much of the Tweets and updates […]
We sing about it. Write about it. Talk about it. Ask questions about it. Why? Because we’re obsessed with it. You know what I’m referring to. Love. Joe is back this week to explain “Why we love love?” Check it.

Joe is back this week defining one of the most popular words in our society, “love.” Tune in and see if you really understand what it means to love somebody.
Pop threw up his hands in disgust, prompted by the third Valentine’s Day movie release advertisement that evening: “This is why young people can’t get married.” Obviously, it’s not Colin Farrell’s fault specifically (don’t ever change, you rakish Irishman). But as our conversation blossomed, I found myself agreeing that the insidious romantic promises carried in […]
This week Joe is back with another challenging video on dating. This time he deals with being unequally yoked with unbelievers in dating relationships. Great video and thankful for this brother’s ministry.
This week Joe is back with a timely episode encouraging single Christian men to pursue the girl they’re interested in. Joe explains what it means and doesn’t mean to pursue and offers wisdom from the scriptures. With Valentines day around the corner, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
