From the Show

We should try to create a conversation with God. So often we read the Bible, close them, and then go to our prayer list. That’s kind of a rude conversation! But I think it pleases God when we hear what he has to say to us in his word and then respond to that in prayer.

How Do I Teach My Kids about Prayer? With Special Guest, Nancy Guthrie

Questions in this Episode

  1. With my kids getting older, I know I am responsible as a parent to teach them about the Christian Life and to raise them in the Lord and teach them how to pray. But it now is starting to feel somewhat daunting because I have always struggled with prayer myself. Any advice on how to pray and teach my kids?
  2. If we are predestined, why do we still have to be “delivered out of the domain of darkness” as it says in Colossians 1:13?
  3. Why is it so important for people who are suffering to know the deep things about God and his Word?

Three Things to Teach Your Kids from the Book of Acts

Paul describes the teaching of the gospel—all that is needed for salvation—as “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27). Our kids need that counsel, too. Read through Acts with them! Explain the stories. Help them see the goodness, power, and love of the God who made them and sent his Son to die for them.

Weary Mothers and the Way Everlasting

I feel like motherhood brought the curse nearer to me. I feel like it dropped me on the far side of the sea as I watched my body and my mind unravel into threads only to be wound back up with anxiety and worry. The suffering of a world so infected by Adam’s fall has […]

When Mother’s Day Misfires

I’ve rolled into church many a Mother’s Day morning with a heavy heart and deflated expectations. There were years of singleness, and then miscarriage, when I felt invisible in the pew, wondering if I would ever wear the title of “mother” myself. Then came holidays where I felt steamrolled by the demands of raising babies […]

My wife, my kids, and I were on our feet—shouting, jumping, cheering like crazy—as Iowa State fan favorite Tamin Lipsey splashed a clutch three-pointer with 15 seconds left to tie the game. For a moment, it felt like pure joy. Then, just 15 seconds later, we were all equally devastated as Arizona hit an impossible […]
