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 if, when, where, and how we would hold a conference that would meet women in every stage of life – in every season – to meet every woman right where she was. 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 …

5 Ways to Assure that Your Kids Will Rebel
It’s a lie. Not every child rebels when they hit that magical age of 13. But some do. In fact, statistics tell us that the majority of kids rebel in one way or another. There are so many physical, emotional, hormonal and social changes that take place during those very crucial years that there are bound to be times when they balk at the boundaries their parents place on them. But resistance doesn’t have to become rebellion. Parents have the opportunities to sow seeds in their children’s heart, and to cultivate an environment that fosters faith, integrity, responsibility, morals and wisdom, …
The “UNPLUGGED SUNDAY” Family Challenge

As a mom of three kids under the age of four (we have twins and a newborn) I will be the first to admit that I don’t have all the answers when it comes to parenting little ones.

Today, I’d like to ask YOU, our readers some of the questions I hear most often from younger moms: 1. How do you get your child to eat something besides chicken nuggets or a …
