Motherhood

What if this Christmas, your family could do something more meaningful than decorating the tree or exchanging gifts—something that plants seeds of kindness and changes lives across the globe? Imagine a tradition that not only brings joy to others but also shapes your children’s hearts with a lifelong spirit of generosity. So how can we make […]

As Christian parents, few things weigh on our hearts more than helping our children navigate their identity in today’s confusing world. How do we teach them about God’s perfect design for humanity while protecting their innocence? How do we introduce them to these truths before the world does—without overwhelming or confusing them? This week on CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I tackle these questions head-on […]

Keeping Christ at the center of the Christmas season is always a challenge, especially for us crazy busy parents. The hectic pace of life intensifies during December, and often our focus shifts to the never-ending list of responsibilities and chores to complete before the big day. What’s a busy mom or dad to do? Well, for starters […]

We are constantly facing cultural pressures that challenge our faith. Constantly. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, isn’t it? How can we hold onto our convictions and be a light in the darkness? And how can we teach our kids to do the same? Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with Martyn Iles, CEO of Answers in Genesis, in Episode 127 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD for a powerful conversation about living faithfully in a “lost culture.” Together, we explored the story of Daniel and his friends in Babylon—a story that feels so relevant to the challenges […]

In a world that’s drifting further from biblical truths, many Christian parents wonder: How can we stay true to our faith when the culture around us seems to be losing its way? What does it mean to live as a believer in a lost, “Babylonian” culture, and how can we guide our families through these challenges? […]

There’s a topic that the church rarely addresses because it challenges long-held beliefs and practices. That topic is… DOMESTIC ABUSE. AND THE FAILURE OF SOME CHURCHES TO PROTECT VICTIMS. The statistics and stories are heartbreaking. Churches should be sanctuaries, yet when it comes to domestic abuse, this isn’t always the case. Consider these alarming insights: […]

There’s a part of history that we often overlook, especially in the context of modern discussions on gender roles and marriage. What if I told you that Christianity has been revolutionary for women in ways many of us have never even considered? Let’s dive into that intriguing topic… because Christianity has transformed the lives of women throughout history and around the world.  THE RESHAPING OF WOMEN’S LIVES THROUGH CHRISTIANITY Our modern culture often argues that Christian teachings on marriage and femininity are oppressive or […]

In a world that is openly hostile to masculinity, does our faith offer a remedy? Consider these shocking examples of male-bashing in our culture:  As parents, we are raising our boys in a toxic stew misandry (hatred, contempt, or prejudice against men or boys), and we should be concerned. What do we as Christian parents […]

Did you know that most studies indicate nearly half of all Christian young people will fall away from the faith after their freshman year of college… and they will never return?  That statistic is VERY sobering if you are a parent. If you aren’t concerned about the massive youth exodus from the faith, you should be. Kids are leaving the church in droves, and we need to know why. I covered this topic […]

Do you ever look at other families and assume that they have it all together and yours doesn’t? Do you look at other pristine and put-together moms or dads and think that you are a hot mess? Do you look at the successes of your friends while focusing on all of your failures? There is […]
