Watch Joe Biden’s Beautiful Moment of Vulnerability on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

Last updated on: September 14, 2015 at 1:41 pm By Jefferson Bethke

No matter who it is, celebrity, politician, or famous athlete it’s incredibly rare to see someone so honest and vulnerable on television like this. I thought these ten minutes were a beautiful look into grace Vice President Biden has in living with the death of his son. Also as a dad, I loved hearing about the relationship he had with his sons, and hope to share similar love with my kids when they are adults. What did you think? Any... Read more

The Price Of Shame (And Why Christians Should Be Different Online)

Last updated on: September 1, 2015 at 9:19 am By Jefferson Bethke

I watched this TED talk by Monica Lewinsky a little bit ago and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. As she mentions in the video, she is somewhat of a “patient zero” in the Internet age. Meaning, she was one of the first people to be publicly shamed and torn to pieces by the internet mob in the late 90’s. (more…) Read more

Is The Bible Really Worth Reading?

Last updated on: August 21, 2015 at 6:34 pm By Jefferson Bethke

Growing up I never really read the Bible. People told me I should read it, but realistically I never read it much at all. It seemed boring, weird, and completely disconnected from my actual life. Fast forward to college when I started to really follow Jesus and all of a sudden I loved The Bible. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wanted to read it all the time. But it was still kind of confusing and I ended up only... Read more

Where is God When I’m Suffering?

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 3:43 pm By Jefferson Bethke

One of the biggest questions of our day is where is God when things go bad, sideways, or spin out of control. I’ve asked myself this question many times, and I’ve searched the scriptures for the answer. A lot of times I felt like I was only met with silence. But recently I’ve realized God is in that very place. In the silence. God didn’t leave us out in the cold or leave us down here, but in fact is... Read more

My Go-To Snack

Last updated on: August 7, 2015 at 12:29 pm By Alyssa Bethke

I’ve always been a pretty healthy eater. Okay, kind of. Fast food has never been my thing, but if it has sugar in it, I’m all there. But if you know my story at all, you know that I struggled with an eating disorder for years. My idea of food and how to take care of my body was completely wrong and unhealthy. I deprived my body of nutrition and the protein I needed. I can’t tell you how many... Read more

What If Your Boyfriend Is Addicted To Porn?

Last updated on: August 6, 2015 at 7:04 am By Jefferson Bethke

It’s been over a year since Alyssa and I did a dating series video but I thought we’d bring it back, and start with a question that we actually get a lot. Porn is so destructive to relationships, and setting a foundation for a solid marriage, but there is also so much hope and healing in Jesus. Also, if you watch it, I’d love to hear any parts that stood out or that were helpful, and I hope it’s an... Read more
