A few years ago, we had this crazy idea at our church – what if we put Grant up front with his Bible, have people text in live questions, and have him respond to them raw & in real-time? Uncensored and unfiltered, it took on a life of its own and became some of our favorite gatherings of the year! This time, we thought "Maybe there are questions you don't want your name attached to?" – questions you might be "asking for a friend".In this candid conversation, we're responding to even more of these questions with our son Braden! Join us as we unpack insecurity, parenting, marijuana, and so much more. Hosted by our good friend Brian Behrends, this is one you don't want to miss!We'd love to hear from you!

Few topics carry as much weight as ones about life itself. In this refreshingly practical conversation, we ask the hard questions to three friends with unique perspectives on life beyond the abortion decision.Over the years, we’ve heard so many people say “I would have done it differently” – if only they had known there was another way. You’ll gain insight from Sherrie’s experience as pregnancy clinic director, Norm’s journey toward healing, and Katie’s passion for adoption. As a faith community, we’re learning how to move beyond our convictions & opinions and step into action. Whatever role you find yourself in on this journey, be encouraged – you’re not alone.If you’re wrestling with the decision to have an abortion, don’t hesitate to reach out to our friends at the Whatcom County Pregnancy Clinic, or find a pregnancy clinic near you at care-net.org.Featured Resources: Unprotected, By Miriam Grossman, M.D.Strength in Weakness by Andrew ComiskeyWhatcom County Pregnancy Clinic (Bellingham, WA) – whatcomclinic.com/LoveLife – lovelife.orgLight of the World Prayer Center  (Bellingham, WA) – lowpc.org— We'd love to hear from you!
