Wonderful Words of Life
Teaching your children the Old and New Testaments, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the single most important thing you can do for your kids. Showing them how they fit in God’s story gives them meaning and a purpose for life that isn’t all about them. It’s much much bigger.
Forgiveness: The Hardest Command But the Deepest Healing
Let’s be honest—nothing tests our faith quite like forgiveness. When the wounds of hurtful words run deep and harmony with one another feels out of reach, forgiveness can feel impossible. But woven throughout Scripture is a radical command: release the offense—not because we excuse the pain, but because Christ has first forgiven us.

Instead, I have learned that peace during difficult times comes with truly believing the promises of God and trusting Him for provision, even if we can’t understand His plan.

Rooted Faith in Motherhood: An Ordinary Week
Rooted faith isn’t built in perfect quiet mornings. It grows in ordinary motherhood moments. Here’s what it can look like in a regular week.
How to Create Spiritual Rhythms for Your Family
Perhaps the most encouraging place to begin is with one small habit — trusting God to use faithfulness in ordinary moments over time. Spiritual rhythms don’t require perfection — just intentionality. As you align your family’s daily rhythms with God’s presence, He will do the forming work.

How to Cultivate Thankfulness in My Family
God certainly cares about our problems!
He knows the pressures we face, and He doesn’t feel pleasure watching us fight wearily through each day. While we shouldn’t minimize our difficulties, it’s important to remember that God is bigger than any problem we face. Taking our eyes off Jesus to focus on our problems is a tactic from the enemy to keep us from experiencing the abundant life. It’s important to bring our hardships to God, but it’s equally important to thankfully remember all He’s done for us in the past. Acknowledging His past provision reminds us of His good plan to provide for us in the future.
Parenting with Courage: Choosing God’s Way Over the World’s Way
Some days, parenting feels like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.
You plan, you pray, you do everything “right,” and then life throws a curveball. A surprise diagnosis. A sudden move. A schedule that turns upside down. And suddenly, the world seems to have all the answers, but none of them align with how God is leading your family. This is where bold faith comes in, choosing to trust God, even when your instincts—or everyone else’s opinions—tell you to panic.
