As a women's ministry leader as well as a new grandparent, I am pleased to share about Resilient: Child Discipleship and the Fearless Future of the Church. Resilient addresses the problem of raising children in the church in this post Christian world. It asks the questions of how effectively are churches are discipling children and…
As a brand new Grammy, I got pretty excited when I was offered the opportunity to review Bible bb's. Bible's bb's provides clothing for families who want to celebrate their faith in a fresh new way. They also have a line of books for kids featuring their cute little Bible Hero cartoon figures. I love…

My first teaching job out of college was a Christian school on the other side of town. It required a 45 minute commute each way, and I’d listen to the radio while driving. Each afternoon on the way home, the station would play a short segment with Dr. Tony Evans. I loved listening to him preach. He spoke truth that resonated with my heart.
Through the years I’ve rejoiced each time I got to hear him and one year at NRB convention, we were blessed to meet him and his lovely wife in person. So when I got the opportunity to review his new study Bible, I couldn’t wait.

I've been hearing about Vindication for several years as it made its way through the film festival circuit. Several of our actors were involved, and they raved about it. But it wasn't until recently when I learned it was on Amazon Prime that I checked it out. I watched the first two episodes last week,…
It seems the women's ministry thing to do this time of year is to host a movie night. It makes perfect sense. The weather's yucky. Everyone's stuck inside. And movie nights are a fun way to get together with the girls. The problem comes when you try to find a movie to watch. So many…
Don't you love how God will place something on your heart, and then everywhere you look, there it is? For months, we pondered over the theme for our Women of Focus conference. We wanted something that women could relate to and that would be broad enough to encompass an entire conference. When we settled on…
I am so excited to share about a brand new women's conference that we're hosting at our church this fall. As many of you know, I took over as Women's Ministry Director at our church last year and have had a fabulous time working with the women of our church. It's caused me to realize…
Ever since reading Anne of Green Gables, I've always felt like having "bosom friends" was a special gift of God and that we each were blessed with one or two in our lifetime. And while I still believe that there is a special bond that we have with a few close friends, after reading The…
