Every Christian parent aches to see their prodigal child—or any lost loved one—come back to faith. We long to see hearts healed, eyes opened, and lives restored. But in that longing, we should wrestle with a difficult and sobering question: 👉 Could my well-meaning efforts to speak truth actually be pushing them further from God? It’s a question […]

Can I ask you something kind of big? When was the last time you prayed with your child—not just for them? I know, I know. That question might sting a little. Believe me, I’ve felt it too. Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have as believers… and yet, when it comes to teaching our kids how to use it, most […]

Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine walking into a room filled with your loved ones—your children, your spouse, your best friends. Now imagine you’re casually holding a loaded gun in one hand… and a bag of chips in the other. Sounds unthinkable, right? And yet, that’s exactly what many of us are doing […]

Some conversations change everything. This was supposed to be an episode about driving safety. That’s what Jen Eikenhorst and I had planned to discuss. But God had something else in mind. Just before we hit record, Jen had an unexpected and heartbreaking encounter—a moment so raw and urgent that it completely shifted the direction of our conversation. And I truly […]

Some moments in life break us wide open. One decision, one mistake, one turn we wish we could take back—suddenly, life as we knew it is gone. If you’ve ever wrestled with regret, shame, or the overwhelming question of why, then this week’s episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD is for you. I had the privilege of sitting down with Jennifer Eikenhorst for one of the most powerful […]

Are you a Rejection Junkie? Wait… what? That sounds crazy, right? But hear me out. Most of us don’t realize it, but by the time we’re 18, our entire self-image is fully formed. And guess what? It’s often shaped by past wounds, disappointments, and rejections that we never really dealt with. And here’s the part that should keep us up at night: If we don’t […]

Okay, I know what you’re thinking… That title? Pure clickbait. A Biblical prophecy that explains all of human history? Every empire, every rise and fall, every major world event—really? Yes. Really. And I’m not exaggerating. I’m not hyping this up. I’m not being dramatic, although I am dramatic… I’m a theater buff… but I digress. Because this prophecy doesn’t just explain human history… it […]

Has your Bible study ever felt more like a chore than a life-giving encounter with God? Yep. Been there. I’ve followed the plans, checked off the boxes, and still walked away feeling like I was missing something. Can I get an amen? Here’s the deal: God never meant for His Word to feel like another item on your to-do […]

You’ve probably heard the word evangelical used in all sorts of ways—by the media, in politics, and even in Christian circles. But have you ever stopped to ask: What does it really mean? More importantly, does my child understand what it means? In the Episode 138 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I sit down with renowned Christian apologist Alex McFarland to unpack what it truly […]

We all know that the world is moving further and further away from biblical truth. What once seemed unshakable moral foundations are being challenged, redefined, and sometimes outright distorted. But as Christian parents, our calling isn’t just to raise well-behaved kids—we’re raising culture shapers, young men and women who will stand for truth in a world that increasingly rejects it. We’re not just called to be […]
