Trusting God’s Best for Our Children (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I originally published this article with Risen Motherhood in 2026, and it seems even more fitting for our current season as we prepare to move our family across the country. As I’ve shared before, one of my biggest fears in helping plant this church is that my children will suffer for it. I’m grateful the Spirit brought this past article to my mind, reminding me that the best thing I can do for my children is obey God. Whatever challenges your family is facing, I pray you would entrust your chil
Am I Good Enough? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a child, I followed all the rules, memorized the Bible verses I was assigned, and sang as loudly as I could in children’s choir—not just because I loved it, but because I wanted to see that look of approval from adults.As a college student, I stayed up late perfecting assignments, obsessing over details, because it felt like my value was tied to the grade my professor gave me.As a newlywed, I made detailed meal plans and cleaning schedules, trying to prove—mostly to myself—that I was a “good

Then I waited another five minutes for the infamous AOL dial tone to let me know I was connected to the World Wide Web.I double-clicked the yellow stick figure. First, I wanted to see which of my friends were also logged into Instant Messenger—even though I had seen the
Mourning Our Lasts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A couple of weekends ago, we celebrated the last (most likely) birthday party for one of our kids in Alabama.It was the hottest August day I can remember. Sweat dripped down my back as I set out the cupcakes my sister and I had spent hours piping, and I prayed the heat wouldn’t melt all our work before the children arrived (or at least let us get a picture).Despite the heat, it was an incredibly sweet birthday party. My son ran with his friends through the splash pad, and my husband spun them on
