Welcome to the Blog
Life can be hard, but we’re here to help you connect with God and each other in simple, meaningful ways.
We can feel overwhelmed at the task of raising kids who know what’s true and right. A noisy world seems to drown out God’s voice in our homes. Our spiritual strength as a couple can be shaken in tough circumstances. Does everything feel stacked against you as you seek to live a life of faith with your family?
Hope is found in reaching out to the one “who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.” (Ephesians 3:20) We’re here to help you pray and take hold of God’s promises for your family.
Our hope is that the articles we write bring you hope, encouragement, and tools to make growing with your family the most uplifting part of your day.
