Money feels personal. It’s one of those taboo topics, we’re not supposed to approach in polite conversation, but it’s part of life, and it affects every single one of us. Whether you’re someone who counts every penny or just hopes there’s enough in the bank to make it to the next payday, understanding a biblical […]
Since recently returning to the school system, I’ve been thinking a lot about leadership lately. Not just leadership in the sense of running a business or leading a project, but the kind of leadership Jesus calls us to in our everyday lives. You know, that quiet, sometimes behind-the-scenes leadership that doesn’t look like the world’s […]

I was once a divorced, single mother with two young sons. I met a man on a dating site, after a series of roller coaster dating scenarios I would rather not relive…..ever. This man seemed different. He knew I was a package deal. I had two sons under the age of 10, when we met. […]
