Is There Really Anything New to Learn About Jesus?
Is there really anything new to learn about Jesus? Jesus died more than 2000 years ago. Everything we can legitimately know about His life was written down within a generation of his death. So when someone claims to have a new teaching on Christ, we should rightfully be a tad suspicious. I certainly was when I began reading Tom Gilson’s new book, Too Good to be False. But Gilson claims new old truths we can learn about Jesus. The facts that Gilson points out aren’t really new, but they are things that even dedicated believers like myself may have never considered.

A Father’s Day Love Letter to My Husband
I wanted to write a Father’s Day love letter to my husband. Because I think we have devalued fatherhood in our country. We’ve taken what it means to be a man and characterized it as toxic instead of celebrating the types of righteous masculinity that God designed for men.

I want to celebrate my husband as a father for the best parts of who he is. And he definitely doesn’t hear…

The Best Christian Guide for Fair Fighting in Marriage
Need some strategies for fair fighting in marriage? You’re not alone. Fair fighting takes practice in learning to communicate well and graciously handle conflicts. We sometimes forget we need to practice forgiveness and grace the most is at home. We let down our guard and raise our expectations with our families, which is a recipe for disaster.
