As a young believer, I longed for someone to take me under their wing and teach me about what it meant to be a Christian. Here I was a wife and mother for many years without Christ and then Jesus gets a hold of my heart and turns my world upside down. I wanted to know what it looked like to live out my life as a Christian wife, mother, and homemaker on a daily basis? In my searching for Christian resources, one of the first books I came across was Let Me Be a Woman by ... continue reading...
Gently Correcting One Another
We don’t often think of gentleness as a godly virtue. If we are to correct others God’s Word calls us to do it in a spirit of gentleness. People are fragile, and we must take great care in speaking truth to one another, especially when we see a sin that needs addressing in one another’s lives.

I’m so thankful for ... continue reading...
Podcast Ep. 42: Some Titus 2 Encouragement Along the Way

Before we begin, I want to lay out a statement here that I want you to remember as we walk through this. What I’m sharing is going to look ... continue reading...
Questions to Examine Yourself to See if You are in the Faith (2 Corinthians 13:5)
We know that going in for a yearly physical, especially as we age is a good thing. It can catch early symptoms of a health issue before it becomes a problem. Even more important than a physical check-up is a spiritual check-up. It determines the matter of where we spend eternity. It's one of the most important examinations we will ever take. Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in ... continue reading...
