Boundless, our ministry focused on discipling young adults, especially singles, will be ending on February 5. It was not a quick or easy decision for our senior leadership team; we know well that Boundless touched the lives of many over the last 27 years.<\/p>\n

Yet as we continue to strategically pursue the most effective, impactful ways to help families thrive in Christ as we approach our 50th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of doing just that, it became clear we needed to reorient our priorities to focus even more intentionally on our core ministry activities. Those include, as you know, assisting couples as they build stronger marriages; helping parents raise healthier, more resilient children; advocating for children through our pro-life and foster-care programs; and encouraging and equipping believers to walk out their faith in the public square.<\/p>\n

We understand, of course, that longtime fans of Boundless may be disappointed by this development. To help ensure young adults and singles continue to receive the nearly three decades of biblical wisdom that Boundless has shared, Boundless.org will remain live and active on the web, and “The Boundless Show” podcast will remain available on the platforms it has been heard. So much of that content is evergreen, so while we will not be producing new Boundless articles, initiatives or podcasts, our rich content library will remain accessible.<\/p>\n

Some of you will likely have additional questions about this decision. We have created an FAQ page<\/a> to help you find answers and ask questions, and we’d also point you to a blog post by Lisa Anderson<\/a>, the host of “The Boundless Show” and leader of Boundless for the past 15 years.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your continued support of Focus on the Family<\/a>.<\/p>\n
