Lawless Start with this thought. What do you do with gut-wrenching, bone-crushing heartbreak? Now, transition to this (don’t worry, we’ll be back)… This weekend, Kia and I (re)watched the movie Lawless. Lawless holds a special place in my heart because it’s the story of my kin – the notorious Bondurant boys. Based on a true […]
Best of the Best
Only the Best! I don’t often do this. In fact, I haven’t ever done it on this site, but I thought it time. Today, I am sharing with you the top posts over the last 3 months at AndyBondurant.com. These are the posts you’ve visited the most. You’ve come across them on Facebook, Twitter or […]
Lead from need
The past is the past… But Jephthah said to them, “Aren’t you the ones who hated me and drove me from my father’s house? Why do you come to me now when you’re in trouble?” “Because we need you,” the elders replied. -Judges 11:7-8 Jephthah was from the wrong side of the tracks. Actually he […]
Joy and Pain. Sunshine and Rain.
It Takes Two If you’re the right age, you remember the rap duo Rob Base and DJ EZ Rock. They were close to a one hit wonder – that one hit being It Takes Two. There release was a hit, but even if you never heard their song, you probably heard the hook (whoo! yeah!) […]
Caleb: Life after 40
Upsides and Downsides This year I turn 42. I’m still a few months away, but my age does occasionally cross my mind. Thankfully, we aren’t a gag gift type of family. When I turned 40, I didn’t suffer through the myriad of over-the-hill cards, t-shirts and trucker hats. I do know the reality of my age. […]
A Rolling Stone gathers no Shame
Declined. Tell me if you’ve been here. I’m standing at the check-out line, ready to pay. I swipe my card. My card is declined. Know that embarrassment? Thankfully, it’s been a while for me. I don’t plan on feeling it again. Financial Peace I was reminded of these experiences while prepping to teach Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. […]
My Psalm

It’s always a little different, but a couple of weeks ago we didn’t something I’ve never done before. After reading a Psalm written by David, we were challenged to write […]
No one cares.
I’m tired. I prepared to tell you how tired I am. I was going to tell you about daylight savings, getting up early, sick kids, activities and more. I want you to know how tired I am. But I stopped. I stopped because you don’t care. I don’t believe you’re callous. I don’t think you […]
ATTACK: The Next Step
That uncomfortable place. A few years ago, Kia and I were walking through a really tough time. It was one of those periods of life when we found ourselves in that uncomfortable place. You know…you’ve been there before. It’s that place in life when you do know what you’re supposed to do. Am I supposed […]
Motorbikes & Music Videos. Information vs Inspiration.
Motorbikes and Music Videos When I was a kid I spent what felt like hours in the car going to and from events and practices and school and errands and relatives and everywhere in between. During these rides in the car, I did a lot of daydreaming too. One of the most vivid daydreams I […]
