    How to Make Friends as a Christian Woman

    June 8, 2020 /

    Learning How to Make Friends as a Christian Woman starts learning how to BE a friend. You might think you know how to be a friend. But I had to give this some thought several years ago and really be willing to look more deeply in the mirror. I am loyal and kind, but I struggle with some things that have made developing lasting friendships more challenging for me than for some people. Learning how to make friends comes easy to some. But I have always been that person who felt like she didn’t fit in. I am the person who walks away from a conversation and replays every awkward…

    Do you Dare to Really Know Jesus?

    July 9, 2019 /

    If you would consider to dare to know Jesus, I invite you to give Him some serious thought today. Whether you’re a Christian or not, you probably claim to know Jesus, at least in broad strokes. In fact, worldwide, no one person has influenced history more than Jesus. The way we even measure history has been using His birth since A.D. 532. While using Before Christ has become less politically correct, the era still changes approximately at His birth. But which Jesus do you know? There is only one historical Jesus in reality, but how He is painted, described, even taught can vary wildly. And sadly, not even every person…

    The Best Christian Rules to Teach your Daughter

    June 21, 2019 /

    Have you read the rules to teach your daughter going around Facebook? I’ve seen that heart-warming, feel-good list a few times, but never read it carefully. It always seemed like an empowering, you go girl kind of list. Thumbs up, heart it and move on. But when I slowed down to actually read it, I was surprised by how many of those rules don’t line up with how God instructs us to live. In fact, following some of these rules led me down some paths that I don’t want my daughter to walk. I would rather her skip those portions of my coming of age if possible. Seriously, if I…

    Do you know how to have an Abiding Love?

    June 14, 2016 /

    Can I just have a minute to speak into your soul today? I want to talk to you about the kind of love I hope you have today, the kind of love I hope you have everyday, an abiding love. Abiding love is safe, enduring, permanent, sacrificial love. Our worship pastor once read to us from John 15, verses about abiding love, the love of the Father that Christ demonstrated for us through his life of purity and sacrifice. And I just wanted to sit down in the middle of those verses and ABIDE. Like curve into an cozy chair by the fire, swathed in a rich blanket. Abide means…

    Being Boldly Submissive in a Culture Scared to Submit

    March 8, 2016 /

    Submissive is dirty word in a culture that is scared to submit. We clamor and chest thump about individuality, celebrate rebels and sarcasm, but we’re really scared of giving up the illusion of control. We aren’t willing to let go of what we think we need. Submission . . . . Women cringe as soon as pastors dust off this rusty gem from the sermon library. Submissive is the modern church’s dirty word. Just the idea of ‘obey’ in the marriage ceremony gets under our tissue paper skin like a splinter. But nothing has made a bigger difference in my marriage than learning to be boldly submissive, and I’ve never been…
