⚾️ “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 […]
✨ What Story is Shaping Your Child’s Life? We live in a world of competing stories. Culture tells our children that identity is something they create, worth is something to earn, and meaning is something to chase. In a swirl of confusion, fear, and self-invention, Christian parents are left asking: “Is my child anchored in the story that truly matters? Do they even know they […]
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 […]
Every Christian parent will walk through seasons of unexpected loss, heartbreak, disorientation, and unmet expectations. We can’t choose whether we face these curveballs—only HOW we walk through them. The real, life-changing choice is this: Will we simply get through the pain—or will we step forward as true overcomers, carrying away spiritual plunder and treasure that can only be […]
There are times in every parent’s journey when life shatters the script we hoped to follow. The trial wasn’t on the calendar. The diagnosis was never in your prayers. The prodigal season, the sudden move, the job loss, relationship trauma or shocking revelation—these are the moments that don’t simply surprise us… they truly unravel us. In those moments, we find […]
Parenthood is a holy adventure—one filled with equal parts joy, exhaustion, frustration, and grace. As Christian parents, we’re entrusted with nurturing our children’s faith and building a home where love, humility, and truth can flourish. But what happens when we get it wrong? How do we heal and restore connection when we raise our voices, lose our patience, or say the […]
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 […]
