It takes intentionality and purpose these days to create Christ-centered homes that teach and train our children well. In this fallen world, the default mode is most definitely NOT biblical. A huge part of that training is equipping them with a biblical worldview. But what exactly is biblical worldview? Why is it important to teach it to our children? And how do we go about doing that? A worldview is simply our perspective, or assumption, on how the world works. Everyone has one because it's the way we see and experience the world through the lenses of our beliefs. Most of us aren’t even aware that we operate from a particular worldview, since it was formed uncritically and informally, but it influences everything- values, behavior, ... Read More...

We've all heard the famous Proverbs 22:6 verse, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." But how, exactly, are we to train a child?

It is our responsibility, however, to point them to the Truth in God’s Word and live it before them daily. I promise you- it's not as overwhelming as you think! These 7 keys to ... Read More...
5 Simple Christ-Centered Christmas Activities For Kids
*Disclosure: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. That means if you choose to make a purchase, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission that helps support this ministry. I love this time of year. There are so many opportunities to make memories with my kids that will last into their adulthood. Decorating, crafting, baking, and shopping together. Listening to whimsical songs about winter wonderlands and evening sleigh rides. Watching Christmas specials while eating too many sugary treats. But there's also a downside. With so much to do, let's face it: Jesus often gets lost in the mix. And how many of those Christmas shows or commercials on tv actually portray the real meaning of the season? There are ...

Indescribable Book Review & Giveaway
Disclaimer: I was provided Indescribable: 100 Devotions About God & Science for reviewing and hosting a giveaway. All opinions, however, are my own and have not been influenced by the author/publisher in any way. One of my children's favorite subjects in our homeschool is science. There are so many fascinating topics to dive into. During the first part of this year we are learning all about biology, studying different types of creatures from the animal kingdom first before moving onto the plant kingdom. My son especially loved learning about the sea cucumber, which can spit out its own organs at a predator to protect itself and then, amazingly, those organs eventually grow back. Gotta love boys! No matter what we happen to be ... Read More...
What The Christmas Story Reveals About The Family
An unmarried, teenaged girl. A poor carpenter pledged to be her husband. Two of the most unlikely people chosen to birth and be responsible for the upbringing of the Savior. Even though we know how the Christmas Story unfolds, we still marvel each year at what seems to be so unexpected. We say, as the song goes, that it was "such a strange way to save the world." But is it really that unexpected? All throughout the Old Testament, we are told of God's plan of salvation beginning with the promise to Abraham in Genesis 15:5. From his line of descendants (as numerous as the stars) was to come the long awaited Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew starts out with the genealogy of Jesus, revealing Christ's family tree. It strikes me ... Read More...
