Read excerpt
What does it really take to remain married for 26 years? Not perfection, effortless compatibility, or a life without conflict but grace, growth, honest communication, and a commitment to keep choosing unity.

Your “Good” Child May Be Becoming A People Pleaser - The Hidden Signs Most Parents Miss (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is your child truly learning kindness or quietly learning to fear rejection? Sometimes what looks like good behavior is actually people-pleasing, driven by the pressure to keep parents and everyone else happy. In this honest conversation, we explore how Christian parents can unintentionally teach the fear of people through phrases such as “You’re making Mommy sad,” “You’re embarrassing me,” or “Lookeveryone is watching you.” These words may stop difficult behavior in the moment, but they can als
