    My Picks of the Best Podcasts for Christian Apologetics

    July 3, 2020 /

But several readers have asked me for some suggestions, so I want to share my favorites. If you’re looking for just a quick list, scroll through the headings quickly. But I also took the time to share their websites, other resources, books, and why I like and appreciate each one to help you find…

    How to Defeat Female Body Image Issues for Women of Faith

    May 17, 2020 /

    Defeating female body image issues meant getting real about the root of those issues. First, separate the facts about female body image issues from the lies. Lie #1 – My life will be better when I fix my body. I would be happier if I were thin. People would like me better if I was skinnier. Having a better body will improve my marriage. I’ll have more self-esteem if I look thin and toned. If my body looked better, I wouldn’t have any issues, right? I was so wrong. Nothing I did to improve my appearance solved any other problems I had in my life. I still had to learn…

    April 16, 2020 /

    Do you want to know how to study your Bible, but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’ve felt overwhelmed by the sheer size of it or remember reading a King James Bible that sounded really old-fashioned and hard to understand.

    April 16, 2016 /

    Being a Christian mother was all I ever wanted, but now that I’m here, sometimes, I fashion myself a writer. I sit on my couch, mug of coffee brewing inspiration inside my head, believing that sharing my tiny words are worth the tedious hours buried behind my computer. (Heaven not Harvard is as a participant in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. As an affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.) I sometimes even believe that my writing is the noble work I’m doing with my present days.

Let me share my thoughts on War Room as a movie enthusiast, Christian, and mom who rarely gets to watch a movie in its entirety. 3 Reasons Christians Should Watch – WAR ROOM 1. It is Christ centered. If you’re choosing between this and reading the Bible, pick the Bible! But if you’re choosing between this and Scandal or Walking Dead, then put your focus on things worthy of attention…
