If you’re like me, you want your kids to grow up with generous hearts—hearts that notice the needs around them and feel a responsibility to respond. But in a culture where the loudest message is “look out for number one,” that’s no easy task. So how do we raise kids who see beyond themselves?How do we build […]

Parenting doesn’t always look like the picture we had in our minds, does it? Sometimes it’s marked by heartbreak, by diagnoses, by unmet expectations that shake us to the core, by children who wander off the straight and narrow path. And if you’ve ever found yourself crying out, “God, this is not what I signed up for”—please know that you are not […]

🌿 Have you ever prayed with everything in you—for healing, for a miracle, for your child—and still heard no? If so, you’re not alone.  🎙️ This week’s Best Of episode on Christian Parent / Crazy World speaks directly to that sacred, heart-wrenching space. Two years ago, I had a conversation on the podcast that deeply impacted me. I remember sitting across from this courageous […]

⏱️ Just 3½ hours. That’s all the time that passed between the end of my interview with two members of one of the most iconic bands in Christian music—and the breaking of a scandal that has since rocked the Christian world. I had just wrapped a conversation with Adam Agee and Jeff Frankenstein of the Newsboys. […]

What if the unraveling of America’s spiritual and cultural fabric isn’t as random as it seems? What if today’s headlines— moral drift, political chaos, national crises—were actually foretold nearly 2,700 years ago? That’s the provocative question we’re diving into in this week’s episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD… and it might just change how you see everything. 👀 One of the most powerful […]

There are days when I look at what our kids are facing and feel like I’m swimming upstream—sometimes barely treading water. 🏊‍♀️ Parenting in today’s culture isn’t just challenging; it’s a whole new world. 🌍 The topics our kids encounter—from what’s “true”, to the pressure of social media, to serious questions about gender and faith ✝️—are a far cry from anything we experienced […]

How do we reach a generation that speaks an entirely different language—one shaped by screens, skepticism, and seismic cultural shifts? 🌐 For Christian parents, grandparents, and youth leaders, this is more than a challenge. It’s an opportunity. If we want to effectively disciple Gen Z and Gen Alpha, we must understand how they think, what they value, and […]

If you’ve ever wondered, deep down, whether the church you call “home” is still the place where God wants your family to grow—please know, I’ve been there too. ❤️ This isn’t about church hopping or leaving because the coffee isn’t great ☕ or the programs aren’t flashy enough. It’s not about chasing trends or finding a more entertaining service. For years, I ignored little warning signs—the blank stares on my kids’ faces during worship, […]

I have to be honest—this week’s episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World is like nothing I’ve ever released before. What started out as a planned discussion about cancel culture with none other than Nick Vujicic (which was Episode 146), turned into something much deeper and far more urgent—a Spirit-led, unfiltered warning that every Christian parent and believer needs to […]
