Dear Rebecca and Burns,

I have been offered a promotion at work that I have wanted for a long time. I'm afraid it might be unfair, though, as there are two people in the office who have been there longer than me. I am good friends with my boss's wife and think that may have something to do with it. I know this could cause tension in the office, but my husband and I have a special needs daughter and really need the money.

What should I do?

John Elmore took his first sip of alcohol at four-years-old, and that sip started a journey of alcoholism that nearly killed him. Now he runs the biggest Christ-centered recovery group in the world. In this episode of the Honest Conversations podcast, he sits down to discuss the vertical nature of forgiveness and the horizontal nature of healing.

Dear Rebecca and Burns,

We recently moved back into the office after being away for a year.  I have always been the type to tell someone if they made an extra effort to look sharp – how nice they look that day.  Didn’t matter to me if they were male or female.  But, it must have bugged someone, because I was called into HR because I told someone of the opposite sex they looked pretty that day.  I won’t do this at the office anymore, but, is it wrong to compliment the appearance of someone of the opposite sex?

The COVID-19 pandemic shaped much of the innovation from this past year and Airthings is one of those consumer innovations. Their at-home or office wall sensors can analyze rooms for virus risk. They do not specifically detect the virus; they look at a wide series of factors using AI like monitoring temperature, humidity, and the number of people in a room to assess risk.

Kids live in a different world from the one that those of us over age 50 grew up in. Life for them is so serious. There is pressure to perform, social cultures to navigate and an all-consuming media environment to balance. These demands can take a toll on a child’s health and well-being. The difference a grandparent can make in helping a child navigate life clearly shows why grandparents are important.

Dear Rebecca and Burns,

My wife and I have been married for nine months and there is a problem. She doesn't like to cook, and when she does cook, it's frozen meals. I was raised by a mother who cooked every night, and this has put a real wedge in our relationship. I go out of my way to do things that make her happy. Help!
