⚾️ “I Always Tell My Kids They Can Be Whoever They Want…” A few weeks ago, I found myself near the bleachers at my son’s baseball game, swapping stories with a very dedicated dad. He looked over the field—kids chasing wild dreams, parents doing their best to cheer them on—and said,  ” I always tell my […]

In a world packed with distractions, pressures, and shifting values, it’s tempting to think the little moments don’t matter—or that only “perfect” faith has lasting impact. I’m certainly guilty of thinking that. And I’ll be very transparent here… after five years of hosting the Christian Parent/Crazy World podcast and interviewing countless remarkable leaders, authors, and thinkers, I have to confess: I left this […]

If you’re a Christian parent, nothing keeps you up at night quite like this question: How can I launch my child into higher education—and a secular culture—without watching their faith unravel? With research showing nearly two-thirds of young adults disengage from faith after leaving home, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Our children’s faith faces not just intellectual tests but […]

As parents, our deepest desire is to protect our children, but there’s a threat that most of us never see coming. Sexual predators are experts at luring kids—often blending in as someone familiar, or reaching them through the screens we think are safe. They know how to groom, manipulate, and exploit in ways that bypass even the […]

As Christian parents, we long to raise our children in safety, teaching them to shine God’s light in a world that too often feels shrouded in darkness. Yet, there are some evils so overwhelming—and so close to home—that it can feel easier to turn away, whispering the lie that there’s nothing we can do. Human trafficking is one of the darkest crises of our […]

If you’ve ever felt that pit in your stomach when your child comes home from school questioning God because “science has all the answers”—you are not alone. In today’s culture, the loudest voices often tell our kids faith and science can’t coexist. It’s a tension every Christian parent feels. What do we do when our sons and daughters are convinced that modern science has […]

❝ When You Get It Wrong: The Simple Words That Change Everything ❞ Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads with your child, knowing deep down that you got it wrong but struggling to utter the words that could heal the fracture? If so, you are not alone. Humbling ourselves as parents is hard—sometimes it’s the hardest parenting work we do. Yet, it’s also some […]

If there’s one topic that can make both Christians and parents squirm, it’s money. How we handle it, what we teach our kids, and—perhaps most fraught of all—what the Church expects from us. Yet Scripture talks about money over and over, not because God needs our cash, but because money is so intimately tied to gratitude, trust, and the state of our hearts. For generations, […]

It’s one of the hardest realities Christians—and especially parents—must face: The people we trust most in the church can sometimes betray that trust in devastating ways. Spiritual heroes fall. Ministries collapse under scandal. Financial manipulation and sexual abuse aren’t just headlines—they’re heartbreaks etched into the stories of real families and children. As parents, we don’t just wrestle with disappointment […]

Let’s be honest—money stress is rarely just about dollars and cents, especially for Christian parents trying to raise kids in a world that feels more expensive and uncertain by the minute. Financial pressure can touch every area of our lives: our marriages, our mental health, our sleep, and even how we parent. And while Jesus tells us […]
