Teen dating seems to be the norm… but we’ve decided that our kids will not date until they are 18. This post is not about dating VS courtship… so you can relax. This post is about the wisdom (or lack of wisdom) that is inherent in the cultural practice of dating… and what can be […]

A spiritual leader is not the person who has all the right, holy-sounding answers. A spiritual leader is a person who humbly goes first in serving others.

I hope it’s your desire to learn everything you need to know about parenting from the Bible. I say that because, in my experience, the Bible is all we need. Psychology has its place, as do good books from Christian authors. But in the end, the truth expressed in scripture about how we live our […]

The kind of marriage connection you want is possible… But you have to understand that it’s built upon other things – the individual relationships you and your spouse have with God through Christ, AND the healthy, ongoing communication you establish with each other. Only then, can the connection and unity you desire in your marriage […]

In a Christian marriage, communication is one of the foundational things that enables man and wife to live together in harmony. But more important is the WHY it’s so vital. It’s because without communication a wife and her husband are unable to understand the state of the other’s ongoing commitment to Christ and be of […]

I was recently asked to speak at a marriage retreat here in the mountains of Colorado.

And it’s not the kind of commitment […]

Many parents, Christian or otherwise, have the hardest time letting go of adult children. There’s no easy way to do it and no magic formula that makes everything turn out perfectly.
