Phil Fleischman interviewed Alex Harris, Brett Harris, and yours truly for a short piece on the phenomenon of "adultolescents" (whereby teenagers -- i.e., "adolescents" -- continue avoiding responsibility while enjoying increasing measures of freedom into their adult years). The segment aired yesterday on Moody Radio's Prime Time America hosted by Greg Wheatley. The audio for the two-hour program is available; the "adultolescents" segment comes about 80 minutes into the program (confession: some of what I said I got here). Alex and Brett Harris are the authors of Do Hard Things: A Teenage … [Read more...] about Harris, Harris and Chediak on Prime Time America

Marriage/Singleness Message Given At Wellspring
I gave a message on Singleness and Marriage at Wellspring Church yesterday. I am very grateful for those of you who prayed for me. The message (now available in MP3 format) is in my ways a broad introduction to my book With One Voice (for which I've previously written this summary). Those interested in the book may also be interested in an interview I did with Anthony Calzia (a recent graduate of California Baptist University) this past February. … [Read more...] about Marriage/Singleness Message Given At Wellspring
Get Married – What Women Can Do to Help It Happen

Watters and I agree that the state of singleness is not synonymous with the gift of singleness. I first discussed the gift of singleness issue in a chapter in With One Voice, and later in a brief article. … [Read more...] about Get Married – What Women Can Do to Help It Happen
Guidance, The Will of God, and Whom to Marry
In my recent interview with Anthony Calzia, I made the following statement regarding Christian liberty in the determination of a marriage partner: "While there is 'one person' out there for us to marry (if we’re called to marry), the only way to be completely certain we’ve found 'the one' is after we’ve made our vows and tied the knot. And this is liberating – we don’t have to wait for some magical moment when we know with mathematical certainty that Jen (or Jake) is 'the one.' There is some Christian liberty in terms of choosing whom to marry. The person should be a growing Christian, and … [Read more...] about Guidance, The Will of God, and Whom to Marry
Interview on Singleness, Dating, and Marriage
Anthony Calzia, a student at California Baptist University, recently interviewed me about With One Voice, a book my wife and I wrote a few years ago. Extended portions of the interview appear in CBU’s campus newspaper, The Banner. The interview appears in its entirety on my friend Jeff Mooney's blog. Dr. Mooney is an Assistant Professor of Christian Studies at California Baptist University and the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Norco, CA. Here's an excerpt: 1. Who are you? How did you come to write your book? How and when did you come to date and marry? I came to Christ as a … [Read more...] about Interview on Singleness, Dating, and Marriage
