Hard won lessons from personal experience and my work as a marriage pastor

Always be ready to point your kids toward the Lord in the moments of life when you (and they) least expect it.

You are not your grades, your car, your house, or your job. You are not your IQ, your abilities, or your social media following. And your kid isn’t, either.

There is no greater joy than hearing that your children are walking in the truth.

How do we prioritize all the demands and pressures placed on our families? How can we make good decisions as parents and teach our children to do the same?

Take almost any challenge you have in your marriage or as a parent and run it through this grid.

The lessons we’ve learned as parents and as kids have been invaluable— in sports, yes, but more importantly as followers of Christ.

We want our kids to know that it is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

I want my adolescent sons to know their value comes from the fact that the Lord of the universe created them.
