Are You More Than A Name On A List?
As our website was about to launch after months of writing and editing, there was a whisper in my head that continued to taunt me: doubt. Not doubt in what God told me to do. Not even doubt in the words I had written, because I believe those are His and not mine. It...
What Are You Praying For Today That Will Last Forever?
Admittedly, I am a big Fixer Upper fan. I used to joke that watching Chip and Joanna interact with each other was a little bit of marriage counseling for me since my husband and I also work together. I think that our personalities are similar too, so it seemed to...

Are You Ready for the Talk? Great Easter Resources for You and Your People.
Are you ready for the talk? So all you mommas out there with elementary school-age children immediately went to “the birds and the bees” when I asked that question! Oh, man… I’m not ready to write anything about that yet! But those conversations with kids which have...
