College Debt And How To Stay Far, Far Away From It
During summer break, college—and college debt—are probably the last things on your minds. But I think it's that important that you start to think about it now. That's why I asked Wilson Green the following questions . . .

Advice For Picking A College Major—Take A Chill Pill!
If I could time travel to drop a hint to my freshman self, I'd jab myself (gently) in the ribs and say, "Hey lady, take a chill pill—this college stuff isn't half as big as you think it is." Then I'd give myself a Jamba Juice and crack open the Bible.

Is It Okay To Attend A Secular College
For me, going to school on a secular campus felt like Christian boot camp at times. I had to learn the hard way exactly how tough I was as I sought to live for Christ. I faced conflicts that made me even more committed about what I believed and why I believed it.

How should we respond to what's going on in the Middle East?
Teenagers aren't known for their interest in world events. I doubt that you make a habit
of catching the evening news or tracking the latest in global affairs. But you
don't have to be a news junkie these days to know that the news isn't good.
It's hard to escape the fact that unrest is spreading across the Middle East.
Revolutions in Tunsunia, Egypt, have sparked protests in Libya, Yemen, Bahrain,
and Iran. It seems that words like "unrest" and "turmoil" have worked their way
into everyone's vocabulary.

From the Archives: Does God's Word Allow Women to Work?
In the context of God's plan for us as women, where does education fit? What about working outside the home? What is the right thing to do when kiddos come along? Even among Christian woman you will find varied answers to these questions. That's why I think we should look to God's Word as our standard as we seek to define godly womanhood.

Learning More than How to Cook
“ I wish every young girl could understand this. It would save them from a lot of heartache later in life. I wish someone would have told me this when I was younger.” That was the comment left by one woman after a post by Liz Lockwood on TrueWoman.com last week. I couldn’t agree more, that’s why I’m passing Liz’s words on to you. Check it out

What You're Doing Right
I hate teenager bashing! I spend enough time with young guys and gals to know that you’re fantastic. It bums me out when other adults or the media portray you as apathetic, mindless and rebellious. That’s why I love articles like the one I just read titled: “What Today’s Teens are Doing Right.”

Looking for "The One"
The idea that there is one person out there for us is certainly a romantic one. But to be honest, I’m not sure it’s biblical. I’ve been looking and I can’t find any evidence in Scripture that God creates one specific person to be our mate. I know that this has the potential to burst a lot of bubbles, but I still think it’s a subject worth tacklin

Biblical Womanhood: A Young Woman's Perspective
We’re talking about Biblical womanhood this month on LYWB.com.
As we examine God’s vision for your future, I see the value in
highlighting the perspective if individual’s who are in a similar stage
of life as most of you. While you will be hearing from lots of “older”
women on this topic this month, I also wanted you to hear from someone
who is young and unmarried and actively pursuing to live out God’s
design for womanhood.

One Girl's Journey to Embracing God's Plan
I get it. Fitting God’s vision of womanhood into modern society can
feel like shoving a square peg into a round hole. And some of us don’t
even get that far. We’re still trying to figure out what God’s
standards for women really are.

In 2009, is it okay to want to be a wife and mom?
This is Rachel. She’s bright. And beautiful. And talented. She loves
Jesus and wants to pursue His plan for her life. But, she’s also torn.
In one ear she hears the messages of the culture telling her to order
her life so that pursing a career is clearly her first priority.
Marriage and motherhood should not be her focus. “That’s so
old fashioned.” But, in the other ear (and in the depths of her heart)
she hears another voice. That voice says that she was created with the
roles of wife and mother in mind. When she reads the account of the
Garden of Eden she sees that Eve was made to be a helper to the man and
the mother of children, and she wonders what that means about her purpose.

What Would You Tell Your Future Self?
But, what would I tell my future self? What questions would I ask about
who she’s become? What do I wish for her to do differently? In what
areas do I hope God has shaped her to make her different from me? I
imagine, I would have a great deal to tell her, but here’s the start of
that list.
