Have you ever felt like you were ‘in over your head’?… Like you’d ‘bit off more than you could chew’?… Or that you were ‘burning the candle at both ends’ just to keep up?… Sometimes life, and especially...

It has been rightly said that “one of the greatest gifts a father can give to his children is to love their mother.” I couldn’t agree more. The success of your children’s future marriages will in large part depend upon the example of yours. So here are 5...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s not hard to see that we live in a sexualized world in just about every way. Themes and images of sexual and sensual things are lurking around every corner that we turn. And if we can’t help but notice it,...

Our kids question us often, and we don’t just allow it, we encourage it. For many Christian parents, because they don’t allow their children to question them in matters of obedience, they often assume the same mentality should apply to their faith. But...

When the world seems to be falling apart, our kids need us to have family conversations, not avoid them. After finding out about Russia invading Ukraine this past week, one of our children said “I’m scared” as I was tucking them into bed. They had heard about the...

Snow activities can be some of the best memory-making moments with your kids if you’ll just take advantage of the magic white stuff when you can. And I’ll be the first to admit, I really don’t like getting out in the snow, but I sure do love having...

Well, it’s that day of the year again that we get to express our love to the people closest to us through not so surprising things like chocolate, flowers, and stuffed animal gifts. It’s also that day that many men are scrambling with a prayer on their...

Sometimes I feel like the world’s best procrastinator (see how I put a positive spin on that?). When I was about 12 years old, my parents made me take piano lessons (seriously, I didn’t have a choice.) A thirty minute piano lesson every Monday, and thirty...

I love how my friend Jon Acuff so humorously describes the seasons of childhood… “Never tell the parent of a toddler that childhood goes by so fast. Toddler days are 97 hours long. And daylight savings time is the devil, because your kids don’t know. Now,...

We’re two weeks into the new year! Has it seemed that a lot of things just haven’t fallen into place yet? Plans haven’t turned out… your mind seems in a fog… and the more you try to get done, the longer your to-do list seems to get?...

Dad, do you have a vision for your family in the coming year? When God made the family, he started by giving it a man – to lead it, to direct it, and to guide it. This wasn’t by accident, but by design. God knew that a family would need loving leadership and...

Everyone wants to simplify Christmas, but sometimes, no one seems to know how. About a month ago, my wife handed everyone in the family a little square piece of paper and told us to write something down that we wanted for Christmas in four different categories. ...

What if I told you that you could instantly improve your family life with a simple tool that you could pick up from the dollar store… for less than a buck? Would you like to see a positive change in your home over the course of the next year… for less than...
