Culture

Have you ever stopped to think about how much power a single word can have? I mean, really have? I’m not just talking about changing someone’s afternoon—I’m talking about the power to shape the course of families, communities, and even entire nations. What if I told you that concepts like “truth,” “freedom,” and “justice” are far more than spiritual talking points or academic ideas—they’re what my […]

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 […]

⏱️ 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 happens when the values of Hollywood collide with biblical convictions and a mother’s fight for her children’s well-being? 💔 How do we respond when the powerful institutions shaping our kids seem set against the values we hold most dear? In today’s world, parents face unprecedented challenges: ⚠️ Controversial health directives that limit medical freedom📺 A relentless media […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
