My world’s caving in.
Who doesn’t dread getting that 3 AM phone call telling you that one of our kids got in an accident, or you discover drugs in one of our kid’s rooms, or that our son is into pornography or our teen [...]
I can’t give what I don’t have, can I?
That’s a great question. What am I talking about? We all have backgrounds that affect our parenting. If you saw unconditional love in your family, it’s easy to demonstrate it. If not, you’ve got to learn it. OR, maybe you [...]
We trust God, but do our kids know it?
If you were given a choice of either 1 Million tax free dollars or God’s promise never to leave us nor forsake us, which would you choose? The spiritual side of us knows the answer, but if you’re like me, [...]

I wasn’t the best kid. As a teen, I sowed my wild oats. I never abandoned my faith, I just did STUPID things. Sinful things. I regret it. As a young parent I would ask hard questions of my kids [...]

That is a great thing. I caught up with Christian recording artist Jordan Feliz asking him how he teaches his kids about the Bible and instilling biblical values while he travels so much. “Mainly because when I'm home and when [...]
