My Book Review of Mama Bear Apologetics
Two things have connected my husband and I since day one of knowing each other. Books and Christian apologetics. While repainting a room in our basement, we listened to Frank Turek’s Cross Examined podcast. (Definitely something you should look into if you like podcasts!) In this particular episode, Mr. Turek was interviewing Hillary Morgan Ferrer. She was sharing about her new book called Mama Bear Apologetics™: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies. From the second I heard the title, I admit that I wanted that book! Two days later, I was opening an Amazon box expecting to see the usual supplies that my husband orders for our household…

Questions Every Christian Should Ask When Watching TV
Just this past week, there was the announcement that the television show Arthur was showing an episode featuring the gay wedding of Arthur’s school teacher. Growing up, I enjoyed watching Arthur. Seeing the news that this change was coming was certainly frustrating. Reading the comments concerning the announcement was even more saddening to me. Hateful Comments For starters, many Christians were spewing hate-filled comments to people who said they were going to watch it. Now I understand their frustration. Evil is rearing up so much and being geared to such young ages. As a Christian mom, it is beyond maddening at times when you find another area (like your…

Practical Ways To Spiritually Support The Pro-Life Movement
Just minutes before writing this, I was enjoying holding my sweet two-month-old daughter in my lap. When I hold her, she squirms in my lap and practices her smiles. My heart breaks as I stare into her deep blue eyes and think of all the babies who never got the chance to practice smiling at their mommies. And my heart is crushed to think of all the mommies who never experienced the joy that comes from having their child smile at them for the first time. Since the legalization of abortion in America in 1973, there have been over 54 million babies aborted. To put that into perspective, New…

Poor Mindsets That Will Mess With Your Bible Study Time
Developing the habit of a Bible study time can be challenging. We have to work against factors such as tiredness, time constraints, and brain fog among many other issues. If we are honest, many of us, myself included, would have to admit that we find reading the Bible to be boring and hard work. Why do we so easily binge watch TV shows on Netflix, read entire romantic novels in one evening, and scroll our Facebook feed for hours on end yet struggle to read our Bibles on a consistent basis? Answer: Our Mindsets. Anything that I view as enjoyable is likely to be included into my day. Yet I…

Bible Verses To Pray For Your Unsaved Family
Do you find it challenging knowing what to pray for when it comes to your spiritually lost relatives? Below are some Bible verses to pray for your unsaved family members! Praying For Our Unsaved Family Members As a Christian, it can be so hard to watch our unsaved family members walk a life apart from God. We grieve that they have not yet seen their need for a personal relationship with Jesus. Perhaps they even openly mock or deny even the idea that God exists. To watch unsaved family live without hope for eternal life with Christ is heart-wrenching. Many times, we try to pray for our family members…

The Painful Truth Behind Being Too Busy To Study The Bible
Sometimes we Christians will make statements that almost sound holy when we know they are not. Often, we want to excuse our less than holy and set apart behaviors with earthly excuses. Trust me, I get how easy it is! On any given day, I find myself rationalizing many things that are not healthy or wholesome to my relationship with God. But there is one in particular that I find we as Christian women will say more often than many others. I am too busy to read the Bible. If you are like me and have found this statement coming out of your mouth frequently, then read on! …

Have you ever found yourself struggling to stay focused on an aspect of your Christian walk? Perhaps you have seen other believers who eagerly study the Word of God while you fall asleep three sentences into your daily reading because you always forget to get it done until right at bedtime?

Ugh… You see other parents who have raised amazing Godly children and you wonder how that is possible because you can’t even remember to read a daily devotional page with your kids! If…

Why Christian Women Should Be Setting Spiritual Goals
With the beginning of a new year about to dawn, we can enjoy letting our minds wander over all the possibilities this new chapter holds. Think about the many dreams you want to see turned into realities! However, like me, you are also facing reality.

As we envision setting spiritual goals for this next year, let’s do so in the reality…

Exciting Free Thanksgiving Lessons You Can Use This Year!
For the past several years, my husband and I have followed the ministry of Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis pretty closely. For our last big trip before we became parents, we even went to visit the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Without fail, we have been pleasantly surprised by how well the Answers In Genesis team does in providing quality material. Of course, there will always be little things that we probably don’t see eye-to-eye on. Overall, we have found the whole organization to be a breath of refreshing air in today’s anti-Christian culture. *This post contains affiliate links.
