What I Know Now: Newly Married Men and Déjà Vu Conversations [Video]

Friendlings, if you’ve been around the site for the past week, you should know two things:

1. The Illumination Project has launched! My baby, born!

2. We are smack dab in the middle of the What I Know Now series, starring none other than my wonderful (and often hilarious) parentals.

My hope for these videos is for you to get a taste of what The Illumination Project is all about—seeking older, wiser counsel. Last week, my mom and dad weighed in on what they wished they had known when they were single and ready to mingle. For those of you keeping score at home, #dadjokes and high school memories are involved.

Today we’re talking with my padre about advice for all y’all who’ve recently gotten hitched. If that’s you, sit back and enjoy, because not only does my dad teach you about communication with your new spouse, he also throws in a little Spanish lesson.

Olé!

How To Discover God's Will For Your Life

Since some variation of the words “the will of God” or the “Father’s will” occur more than twenty times in the New Testament, it is fair to assume “the will of God” exists and can be known. The apostle Paul commands us to “understand what the will of the Lord is” (Ephesians 5:17). Jesus uses the expression when He addresses God with the words, “Your will be done” in what has come to be known as the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:10). Yes, God has a will that we must discover and do from the heart.

How Unconditional Love Transformed His Marriage

When we talk about a husband’s unconditional love, what exactly does that look like?
