Not Motherhood or Ministry: Living Faithfully in Both
I’m a mom and a wife (a pastor’s wife at that). But I’m also a women’s ministry leader, Bible teacher, and writer. Luke 14:26 tells me that following Jesus requires me to forsake my family. However, Titus 2:4-5, tells me I’m to learn to love my husband and children and to work at home. So,…

Merry Christmas 2024!
Hey friends, We recently came across my mom’s Christmas letters she wrote almost every year. My sweet sister-in-law made us all copies and put them in a binder for each of us. The sweetest gift! My mom has been with Jesus for 12 years, but I can read those letters and simply get a sense…
