Lisa Anderson | Director of Young Adults

It’s the week before Christmas! Whether you’re traveling or staying put, I hope you have the chance to connect with friends and family and still make time to pause and reflect on the outrageous significance of Jesus’ birth. Don’t let the season get away from you!


Before you know it, 2026 will be here. Heads up: We’ll be asking you early in the new year to share examples of how Boundless (the show, the site, the advice, the people) has impacted you over the years. Twenty-seven years, to be exact. So spend some time now in the last couple weeks of December thinking about that so you’ll be ready to weigh in. We’ll let you know how to share once we hit January. Have a great week!


Preview of Next Week:

On the Show — Generational holiday traditions, behind the scenes of the Bible app, and how to overcome FOBO (fear of a better option)

On the Site — How Christmas changes everything, questions to ask about your date, and three things to remember when you feel lonely at Christmas
