Heaven. Can you imagine it for a moment? A place of perfect peace, grace, acceptance, and love. God’s design for the home is that it be a little piece of that, right here on earth. A safe place where hurts get healed, forgiveness is routine, and grace is the...

God’s plan for transforming our lives, and the lives of our kids, is the renewing of our minds according to truth, so that we can be conformed to the image of Christ. “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your...

Is your child aware of their greatest need? We have three kids at home, and each has their own primary struggle: one is anger, another complaining, and another persistence about getting their way (seriously, their relentless negotiating skills would make any lawyer...

In recent years, two of my sons have opened Roth IRA accounts as they’ve grown to understand the power of compound interest. Compound interest is what happens when your interest earns interest… slow, steady growth that adds up to far more than you’d...

“Daddy, close your eyes!” These are the words I’ve heard on repeat the last few weeks, as one of our girls always has something she wants me to see, and she expects a fully excited response, no matter what it is. (I’ve gotten really good at...

Maybe you were blessed with good and godly grandparents like I was. Even years after they’ve passed, I can still remember playing catch with Grandpa in the driveway, losing every game of Yahtzee to Grandma, and devouring greasy Pizza Hut pan pizza at their house...

Every night as we put our girls to bed, part of our routine is singing “Jesus Loves Me” while they brush their teeth. It’s the perfect length of song to make sure they actually brush long enough to get those pearly whites clean. Of course, this is...

Our day at Disney World last week as a family was epic. Between meeting Mickey and Minnie, riding roller coasters in the rain after the crowds cleared out (turns out rain is Disney’s best-kept secret for shorter lines), and just soaking in the magic, it was an...

This week, our family gets to break away for some Florida vacation time together that includes rest, relaxation, a day at Disney World, dropping our son off at college, and admittedly more driving than I’d prefer. (Road-tripping with kids… “restful”? We’ll...

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. What does it look like to teach our kids the most important thing—loving Jesus? As godly...

Our two toddlers are fun and cute, but honestly, “cute” isn’t exactly the character quality I’m hoping shows up on their future job applications. Right now, cute is easy. Godly and responsible? That takes work. Getting them from the first to...

“If you love me, why won’t you give me what I want?” This was a surprising question one of our kids asked me recently. (Nothing humbles you like a kid accusing you of a lack of love because you wouldn’t let them have cake for breakfast.) But it...

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized that any form of wrong living always comes from wrong thinking. One of my pastors used to always say, “He who controls the mind wins the battle.” And he was right. There is a reason why the Bible...

“Grace Over Grit”…. that’s a thought that’s been on my mind recently in our home. Have you ever found yourself being harsher than necessary with your kids? I know I have. Kids have a way of getting on your nerves sometimes, so our natural response can be filled...

Have you ever felt stretched just a little further than you thought you could handle? Last weekend, our family came home from a week out of town to a flooded basement. So, if you were wondering what we did with our weekend… it wasn’t what we planned. Carpet...
