LETTER FROM STAFF


 



Bry Shirin | Digital Content Specialist


We’ve officially welcomed our summer intern, Lauren! I’m so excited she’s joined the team — she’s already jumping in, and I just know she’s going to do awesome things for Boundless.


Also … anyone else feel like summer has already started? I know the calendar says June 21, but once school’s out, it’s summer in my book. Honestly, this season always feels like a fresh start to me — a time to rest, reset, and get excited for what’s ahead.


Speaking of exciting things — we’ve got tons of new content coming your way! This week, we’ve got TWO new articles:

-
One from Rebecca Hastings on dealing with church hurt (such a helpful read)
-
And one from our friend Paul Batura coming Friday (6/6) on why D-Day still matters

Oh, and remember how I mentioned we’d be celebrating a bunch of holidays this summer? Well, the first one’s here! National Start Over Day is this Thursday (June 5), and we chatted about it on this week’s roundtable. Definitely check it out!


Make sure to keep coming back to see what we’re up to — and tell your friends about Boundless while you’re at it!

Preview of Next Week:

On the Show — What makes someone a best friend, plus research on why men fall in love more quickly, and is our listener trying hard enough to find someone?

On the Site — A companion blog post to our best friends roundtable discussion written by Lisa, celebrating fathers, and should Christians swear?
