For too long, the stories of women in history—and even in theology—have been marginalized. But the Bible offers a counter-narrative, one where women are celebrated as leaders, judges, prophets, teachers, and partners in God’s redemptive work. In the latest episode of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, I sit down with the esteemed Dr. Sandra Richterto explore the profound contributions of biblical women […]

Does the Bible oppress women, or does it offer a radical and transformative perspective on their worth? Every parent needs to have a solid answer to this question . I’ve often said that the Bible gets a bad rap when it comes to women. Most of us have been smacked in the face with claims that our […]

Are you wondering how you can eat better, sleep better, produce better, work better, save better, serve better, and exercise better? Well, these are great questions to ask at the beginning of a new year. But let me ask you this: How can you strengthen your relationship with your kids this year? That question should top the list. Here’s […]

As we usher in 2025, many of us are looking for ways to deepen our relationship with God and experience  spiritual growth. Here’s the good news: it’s all about going back to the basics. So, let’s set the scene… I’ve been praying and thinking about this special New Year’s episode  of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD  for months, seeking God’s direction on how […]

Over the years, I’ve gotten quite a few emails about the agenda in much of our television entertainment these day, especially on a channel that used to steer clear of such fare. I wrote an article about that a few years back, actually. You can find it HERE. Well… a network committed to providing faith-forward, family-focused entertainment has snagged […]

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?
