No guest today. I am proud to announce my new book, which is the product of my years of wedding ministry. It is entitled Before God and These Witnesses: How to Start a Marriage Ministry to Save Your Church, Reach Your Community, and Change the Culture While You Are at It.

I share stories from my wedding ministry over the past two years. The good, the bad and the crazy. I also call for churches to re-engage the wedding world. Churches should be the central place couples turn to when they get engaged.  The church should own the wedding industry, not watch from the sidelines.  The book discusses practical ways for pastors and churches to connect with couples. Drawing from my doctoral work, I share the latest research on generational attitudes toward marriage and the church.

In addition to simply sharing my stories and experiences at the end of the book, I offer pastors and church planters an opportunity to get trained in doing weddings and be listed on our Wedding Chaplain website.

Stuff You Should Know
Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
