“Faith”

What do you do when the world starts returning to normal? Calendars that were once empty are filling up again, and life is picking back up its pace. It's normal to feel anxious about responsibilities and expectations that felt second nature, especially after a year like 2020. In today's blog, Lynnaea Martin encourages readers to accept daily invitations from God to receive more of His abundance so you can also extend it to those around you.

Chris and Tim pick up where they left off in last week's episode about regrets. They talk about if men or women statistically have more regrets, sacrificing family life on the altar of career success, and more.

How do you deal with regrets in your marriage? In this week's Art of Relationships episode, Chris and Tim talk about affairs, missed opportunities, emotional absence, and more.

What are your plans for Mother's Day? This question, usually simple to answer, may evoke feelings of sadness, grief, and loss for some, particularly this year. How are we supposed to make this day special when celebrations everywhere have been put on pause?

What should you do before having a difficult conversation? Alisa Grace provides practical wisdom and insight to equip you with three communication tactics to facilitate healthy conversation, no matter how difficult the topic might be.

Dear CMR,

This is a two-part question: My friend and I got into an interesting discussion the other day about Halloween and whether Christians should engage or not. Things got heated and we ended angry with each other and frustrated at the conversation. First, can you give some advice on how we might reconcile after the blowup? Second, can you share thoughts about Halloween and how Christians should or should not engage?
