What will my children remember about their childhood? I hope that the weekly rhythm of Sunday service reaches through the years to comfort them.

My dad was twenty-one years old when he became a Christian. The effects of his conversion rippled out to family members and friends, changing the course of his life—and mine.

 Sometimes the people who know us best can also love us best.

Three ways the Holy Spirit helps fathers be all that we can be (and should be) for our children.

How you can give mothers more hope and help than the internet could ever offer.

The only person I consistently talk to can’t talk back to me.

The weight of my children’s salvation was meant to be borne by eternal shoulders, not mine.

Our children don’t depend on us, not ultimately. Through every time out, 2:00 a.m. feeding, and family Bible time, their true shepherd is guiding and forming them.

Take heart, you don’t have to be everything to everyone at once.
