Chad Eastham: Guys Are Waffles, Girls Are Spaghetti
Howdy from our hearts to yours! We’re so sad Revolve 2011 has wrapped, but the Revolve love keeps coming YOUR WAY. Remember Chad’s awesome book “Guys are Waffles, Girls are Spaghetti”? We loved it too! Check out this classic video from the Revolve vault where Chad and friends talk about the differences between guys and girls:
Grace

Grace is a word most people don’t totally get. Is it the prayer you say before you dig into mom’s spaghetti or the ability to strut in a dress and stiletto heels while perfectly balancing a book on your head? When the Bible talks about grace, it means something totally different. Grace means you didn’t earn your relationship with God, but he loves you anyway. Grace is like generosity, and love is the gift.
According to Ephesians 2:4-10, every believer is saved by God’s grace because with out Jesus Christ, there would be no mercy. Every person ever born—except Jesus—is on the “outs” with God (sin separated us from him). Jesus paid the price required to set things right. This salvation is like a Christmas present. Nobody can earn it, and nobody deserves it; but that’s not the point. Jesus had compassion for everyone because he loved them. He made sure that anyone who wanted to get closer to God has a way to do so. It’s the best present ever!
You did not save yourselves; it was a gift from God. It was not the result of your own efforts, so you cannot brag about it. Ephesians 2:8-9 NCV

Relationships Are Supposed To Be Good
If God designed our relationships and they are supposed to reflect him, help us, and help us to love one another and understand God more, then they should be good. They should not be negative and frustrating the majority of the time. Relationships can be like glass; sometimes it can be better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.
The truth is this: Dating is actually pretty easy. Ask any married couple if it gets more complicated or less complicated when you go from dating to marriage. I promise you they will laugh and then answer you quickly. People shouldn’t be walking away from marriages, but dating is not marriage. Dating is supposed to be the time when you get to know someone and you just enjoy them. And if you really match up with each other you should be able to step back and say “This is a positive experience. It makes me more kind, loving, diverse, happy, closer to God, balanced, and generally a healthier person who is growing in life.” If this is not your experience, perhaps you shouldn’t be in that relationship.
Relationships are not designed so that you have to manage heart break. That is not what God wants for you. He wants us to thrive in them, not just deal with them. And when you think about dating keep this simple thought in mind. Dating should be positive. If it’s not then rethink how you are doing it or who you are doing it with.
