Family devotions—oh man, we need to do that.
As a dad of four, I wished I had spent more time reading the Bible to my kids. Frankly, they didn’t enjoy it much. So, when we missed a night, or two, or three they didn’t complain much, and we’d [...]
My new son’s almost here. I’ve got questions.
First-time moms and dads are so cool. They want to do everything right. As Christian parents, we want our kids to know and follow Christ too. I asked an expectant father what he was wondering about most. He said, “How [...]
Stop shoving Scripture in my face!
I was talking to a young lady the other day. She’s 21 and getting ready to make a major decision in her life. She claims to be a follower of Christ. Her parents are solid believers. They’ve been encouraging her [...]
Don’t buy me flowers; they die.
Guys, if your wife says that to you—IGNORE her. Well, don’t ignore her, but you know what I mean. I know a couple who have “agreed” to not buy cards, flowers, special somethings for birthdays, Valentine’s day, Sweetest day, and [...]

Valentine’s Day is typically a day for couples. When we’re dating we can’t help but WANT to send flowers. Get that special card or set up that amazing date. But once we’ve been married a decade or two, the passion [...]

Why do you think I’m going to buy you everything?
Probably because you HAVE! That’s one of the things we did with our youngest. We felt bad for her. She was in an orphanage for the first three years of her life. Who doesn’t want to make their child happy? [...]
I don’t think I’m going to survive this!
You’re new parents. Just home from the hospital. You have these fantasies that your firstborn’s going to be PERFECT. Calm, just moments of crying, sleep—it’s shorter, but regular. You had NO idea that’s ONLY a dream because your situation’s a [...]
Hey, Alexa, play my Flash Briefing.
Who doesn’t like an easy way to check information? I sure do. While easy is nice, it’s not always the best for our kids. But, in THIS situation, you might want to make an exception. Our goal as Christian parents [...]
I pray with my kids every night.
