It can be so easy to rush around with our kids from one thing to the next. All of a sudden we realize we haven't looked our kids in the eyes for any length of time recently. We've lost sight of giving our attention to them and listening well to them. In this conversation with my wife, Jodi, we talk about how the Lord has helped us to value sharing our lives with our kids and give them the gift of our presence. This ultimately flows out of the way the Lord has shared Himself with us and the message of salvation in Him. I pray this episode equips and encourages you to do the same, by His power and might.

One of the biggest questions of our era as parents is when is the right time to give my children a cell phone? We realize their usefulness and their danger.

It’s always good to open ourselves up to thinking of others more significantly than ourselves (Philippians 2). Here’s a quick idea of how to help you and your kids grow in that mindset a little more together. I pray it is a help to you!

One of the best ways to point our kids to Christ is to join them in serving those who know Jesus and those who don’t. We should seek to put our kids in serving contexts as they grow up. My daughter Mara is a great example of the what the Lord can do in someone to cultivate a heart of service through the experiences we join and encourage them in. Listen to some of her exciting story! See what the Lord can do in the hearts of your children when you put them in positions to serve His people and others in your community!
