Doing Life Together

Question: Our 7-year-old son isn’t persistent and struggles to finish things he begins. He easily gives up. My husband doesn’t think this is an issue, but I disagree and would like my husband to require him to stick to things more. My husband takes a hands-off approach. Can you help with this? Persistence is a…

Everyone has stress, but is there a point that tips the scales and moves us from stress to burnout? The answer is, YES, and you can probably look back and say, “I know when that happened.” Usually, it has to do with when your health begins to suffer. We all need a little stress inoculation-short…

Do you like your body? If we are honest, most of us would say no. Body distortion and lack of acceptance began in a garden. Yet, we feel the results of it today. The 3rd chapter of Genesis provide an explanation of how we moved from originally accepting our created bodies to embracing feelings of shame and…

This Thanksgiving, be grateful for all your many blessings! 

We all have them–one or more people in the family that make life difficult. A controlling in-law, a rebellious child, a loud and obnoxious uncle, or maybe the gossiping aunt. They come in all sizes and shapes. And every holiday season, we have to be intentional about how we are going to handle difficult relatives.…

One of my favorite Thanksgiving family traditions was making pies. My mom could have opened up a pie store. Her pies were that good! And the smell of those pies cooking in the mornings was glorious. Watching my grandmother and mom work side by side and including me in making the fillings, brings back wonderful…

Jill’s family focuses Thanksgiving around Christian themes like blessings and gratitude. Rick’s family never mentions God. They are not Christians and Thanksgiving is all about the food and drinking. Jill feels uncomfortable because the drinking has caused arguments and…

Every 109 seconds, a person experiences sexual assault! And do we talk about this? If you listen to the news, you have probably heard a number of cases of sexual assault on college campuses. Sexual assault awareness has grown with the implementation of Title IX on college campuses. And yet, it is estimated that 80% of…

I worked with a man who had remorse for the way his sexual addiction impacted his family. He lost his wife and children as a result of a divorce. He was sorry his problem had been discovered and the pain it caused everyone. But he wasn’t repentant. What is the difference? Paul makes the distinction between worldy…

What are the words of your mouth following this election? Psalm 19:14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Maybe we should all pause and mediate on this verse. I went on national TV yesterday to discuss how we should conduct…
