Making the Most of Carpool Conversations for Faith Talks with Your Kids
I learned early on as a parent that when they’re not picking on one another or wondering how soon we’ll get where we’re going, children are a captive audience while riding in the car.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons! The cooler temperatures (here in Texas we experience some pretty extreme summer heat), the golden colors, the animals getting their winter coats… it is spectacular! But with all of the busyness of life and back-to-school activities, we might miss the pleasures of fall if we aren’t purposeful about […]

How We Celebrate Halloween as Christians
Halloween is usually cause for great debate among Christians. Should Christians celebrate Halloween? What are the best alternatives?
