Boundless Line | Extreme conversation starters for 20somethings.

About Us

The time between the home of your youth and the home you'll make for yourself someday is a time of adventure, discovery and excitement; but also loneliness, longing and uncertainty.

From college to career to relationships, we at Boundless want to cast a vibrant vision for the single years, helping you navigate this season while preparing for the challenges and responsibilities of the one to come. That requires living intentionally with purpose by bringing your gifts, talents and Christian worldview to bear on your whole life.

Comments / Letters to the Editor

We do permit comments on our blog, so feel free to respond to any of the posts that move you. If you'd rather send us a more personal e-mail, send it to editor@boundless.org.

We'll read every e-mail that is sent to us, but because we've got a small and overworked staff we're just not able to personally answer it all. Letters may be edited for clarity and conciseness if we reprint them on the website or blog. Please let us know if you do not wish your letter to be published.

Contributors

Lisa Anderson

Lisa Anderson hosts The Boundless Show, Focus on the Family's popular podcast for young adults. She leads the Boundless team in discussions on relevant issues, interviews authors, artists and other newsmakers, facilitates Q&A, and volunteers far too much information from her personal life. She is also director of corporate media and public relations for Focus on the Family, serving as a spokesperson for the organization and connecting reporters with the latest research, news and trends affecting the family. She has appeared on numerous radio and TV programs, and has been known to speak at national conferences wearing tall boots and a skull T-shirt. She graduated from Trinity International University in Chicago and has lived and worked everywhere from Paraguay to Capitol Hill. Lisa knows a disproportionate amount of hip-hop lyrics for a white girl, and loves Jesus, people, ideas and guacamole, in that order.

All of Lisa's blog posts are available on one page.

Motte Brown is the Family Formation Ministry manager for Focus on the Family. His own family formation story began with a beautiful young woman named Beth, a United States Senate Chaplain, and the phrase "fish or cut bait." He fished, and now has six children.

Thomas Jeffries

Thomas Jeffries is a journalist, editor and recreational basketball player. He was born on the east coast, grew up in the Midwest and now resides with his wife and young kids in Colorado. His work has appeared in numerous newspapers, magazines and Web sites, and while his passion is storytelling, Thomas has never felt the desire to write a novel. He has been to death row, downtown Detroit and the miserably hot state of Texas — all in the name of a good story. He reserves the right to update this bio on a whim at any time.

Heather Koerner

Heather Koerner is a stay-at-home mom and freelance writer from Owasso, Oklahoma. She and her husband, Kevin, love the adventure of raising their two kids, Madison and Andy. Before kiddos, Heather worked for Focus on the Family as the associate editor of Teachers in Focus magazine. Now she writes for Boundless about financial stewardship and motherhood, and she especially likes when she can write about how doing the first well makes the second a whole lot easier. She desperately misses Colorado and envies the other Boundless bloggers for their view of Pikes Peak. Ah, well, at least she can join them online.
