I love being a parent. But it’s hard. Somewhere between making dinner and changing diapers, God has given parents a divine assignment to nurture the spiritual development of our children. Those of us in ministry get the added responsibility and opportunity to do it from what we call a Glass House. The task of parenting…
By Tara Dew Paul says in 1 Corinthians 11:1, “Imitate me as I always imitate Christ.” As parents, we should be able to tell our kids, “Copy me as I try to copy Christ.” Or better yet, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Children will do what they see. I’ve often heard it said, “More is caught…
Summer has flown by, and fall is around the corner. School is starting! Whether you are homeschooling, private schooling, or taking the traditional public school or charter school route, learning and discipling are happening! This past week I had the joy of staying with special littles in my life. I am “Mama D,” “Grandma,” or…
We were up at 4:30 am to catch our flight to Las Vegas. As I stepped into the shower, Tom said, “Michael Carlisle died of a massive heart attack last night; Duane called just after midnight to tell me.” Michael and Duane were Tom’s prayer partners for many years. They met at the altar on…
When we think of the word BOLD, it is usually in conjunction with living out our faith or sharing Jesus. Rarely do we think about serving boldly. Hmmm, why not? Recently, something on social media made me think about today’s subject. It asked what you would do if you knew you only had a few…
Where do you go when you are living in constant state of emergency? Let’s lean in and be honest for a moment. Did Momma say there would be days like this or years like this? I have lived the song version where it has been a decade like this. You see, sisters, I am a…
by: Leighann McCoy Now that my beautiful “flesh and blood proof that God answers us when we pray” PKs are all grown, I remember begging God to open my womb and give them to me. Oh, how I pitched a fit with Him as only an entitled daughter of the King of Kings can pitch….
Ministry. It can be blissful, but it can also be burdensome. People are human, sinful by nature, and forgetful of God’s goodness. We’ve all heard the saying, “Hurt people, hurt people!” And if you are leading in any capacity in your life, you will not only be the direct recipient of this unfortunate truth, but…
I can’t explain why most women desire Motherhood. But we do. Maybe it’s from the beginning of our existence; it’s hard-wired in us. I didn’t teach my little ones to take their baby dolls, cradle them, and love them. My two little girls did this seemingly by nature. I believe there is strong evidence that…
What do we do when life doesn’t turn out the way we expect it to? We can cry and pitch a fit, shake our fists at heaven, and be mad at God. We can feel sorry for ourselves, become cynical, and rooted in bitterness. We can re-evaluate our faith, deconstruct and walk away. We can…
