Wonder If Mentoring Matters & How YOU Can Make a Difference?

11 Shows I Wouldn’t Let My Children Watch

“I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.” Psalm 101:3 (NIV) Have you noticed how crude, crass and blatantly corrupt television shows have become? There’s almost nothing worth watching these days… especially for kids. Back in the day, writers of television shows focused on writing scripts that promoted morals, doing the right thing, consequences to misbehavior, patriotism. Television shows that embraced truth, faith, courage, integrity, civil service, and hard work.  Today, scripts are basically the polar opposite. I know this may sound hard, but to …

How to Set Curfews for Teenagers

There’s no greater DoAhead on the planet than raising good kids. It can feel like a daunting task when they are little but sometimes it can feel impossible when they become teens. One such example has to do with weekend recreation. You know the drill. It’s a Friday night and your beyond exhausted waiting for your teen to get home. Oh, it’s not that you have a bad kid. It’s just part of parenting teens. Years ago a mother who mentored me told me that there are two seasons in which a parent becomes sleep deprived. The first season is when the …

20 Foundational Verses for Every Family to Grow

Not too long ago, I saw a photo on Facebook that read “If you don’t teach your children to believe in Jesus, then world will teach them not to.” As I sat staring at my screen, I realized their world revolved around me right now and then wondered what messages my words, actions, and lifestyle reflecting for my kids.  The more I thought about it, the more I thought we’re like everyone else as a typical Christian family, we go to church on Sundays and Wednesdays. We pray at meal times and before bed. We say a prayer as we …

Are You a ‘Steel Vault’ Kind of Mentor?

We all need someone we can trust…the kind of friend who has our back and who knows our secrets, yet treats them as if they are their own. We all need someone like that in our lives. And we all need to be someone like that for others. Mentoring is a mixed bag. It comes with the joy of walking through life with others, but it also comes with the responsibility of guarding those relationships and stories others share with you well.  Recently, I’ve had several conversations with women who were walking through a painful place or facing difficult challenges. …

45 Workshops for You & Enter to Win 2 FREE TICKETS to BETTER TOGETHER

  Thirteen women from the M.O.M. team met last March and prayed over the conference that would soon be called, BETTER TOGETHER.

We prayed over each of you and sought the face of God for the heart of each woman who He leads to come. YOU have been the object of our prayers and the purpose of our plans ever since the day we lay prostrate …

Why Hundreds of Women LIKE YOU Have Registered for BETTER TOGETHER

Recently, we polled several women and asked them why they were so excited about going to BETTER TOGETHER.

They are always very helpful and practical. I’m a ministry leader …

Does Holiness Really Matter?

Today, I’m super excited to introduce you to my sweet friend, Kathy Howard! Kathy is an author of many books and her love for Jesus and for ministry is inspiring!  I wanted to take a few minutes to share with you about her newest book, Embraced by Holiness because, as moms and as ministry leaders, the need for holiness is huge! Little eyes are watching mommas…and if you’re a ministry leader, lots of eyes are watching you…they want to see how you act and react – so holiness needs to permeate every area of our lives. Two years ago, “Fifty Shades …
