We often think of play as a child's thing. Parents who don't particularly enjoy building with legos, playing with dolls, or putting on costumes can find the idea of play to be tedious. Joy Wendling, host of the podcast Playfully Faithful Parenting, challenges that definition of play. Listen in as she discusses what play really is, the different ways we are wired to play, and how we can make our house a more playful place.

Moms in the Bible--Hannah

Moms Take Ten ·

2022/11/21

Hannah's story is a familiar story to us, especially for those of us who have wrestled with fertlity. Yet, while her story is similar to previous moms that we have studied there is one key difference--her relationship with God. Hannah learned to bring the Lord her anguish and despair and lean in to his sovereignty. Her story invites all of us to do the same. Her story can be found in 1 Samuel 1-2.

Living in the "And"

Moms Take Ten ·

2022/10/31

I had the privilege of attending the Replanted Conference for the first time a couple of weeks ago. The theme of the conference was “And”. It seemed confusing at first and then became so powerful as the speakers unpacked its significance. Our lives are filled with, lived in, the “and”. Some of those we like. Sometimes though, our “ands” feel oppositional, as though they should not go together, yet in our lives they do. Grief AND joy. Hurt AND healing. Regret AND hope. We struggle to acknowledge

Moms in the Bible--Naomi and Ruth

Moms Take Ten ·

2022/10/17

One of only two books in the Bible dedicated entirely to the story of a woman, the book of Ruth is short and powerful. It is a beauty from ashes story, beginning with such sorrow and ending with much joy. At the heart of it is a relationship between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law. In their relationship, we see the power of God at work in our pain. He does not leave us to bear it alone but journeys with us in the heartache. He gives us space to grieve, to question, to cry, and he heals our

Our son's first year of school was a little rough. Just three weeks into it, and already we were getting talked to by his teachers about his behavior.

Summer with Encanto--All of You

This episode wraps up our Summer with Encanto series. What does it mean that you are "more than just your gift"? That "the miracle is you, not some gift, just you"?

Let's take some time together to look more closely at what that means. Verses Referenced: Mama, you bear God’s image: So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him;
