When More Is NOT Enough: How to Stop Giving Your Kids What They Want and Give Them What They Need

I have a confession to make, I knew I would like Amy Sullivan’s book before I read it. This is because God sent me half way around the world in March to build houses in the Philippines. Before I even knew about the missions trip, my heart was already being plowed for the seeds of servitude. Like you, I had my handsome, hardworking husband, a cute little house with a hefty mortgage, two decent cars, three awesome kids, and a career in news casting–and did I mention two cute, albeit naughty little dogs? Life was bliss–or so I thought. Something …

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. …

Finding Quiet in Our “Everything is Awesome*” World

    In our dazzling million dollar budget animated everything is awesome sensory overloaded world… it is hard to think…to pause…to find quiet. Daily life now resembles the rapid fire visuals seen on huge 3D movie screens which dash at us so fast… we don’t pause… to calculate… to consider…   The overwhelming roller-coaster of clamorous non-stop information penetrates our minds and splits our thinking…while silently shaping who we are… from the inside out.  Our souls starve for quiet reflection amid the pounding chaos.  For uninterrupted thoughts.  For deep truth. When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the …

Detour – Teenage Motherhood – How to Survive (sneak peek of Better Together Session)

  This wasn’t the part of the plan. You and your daughter were planning for high school graduation, but now you’re trying to get used to the idea that she is going to be a mother. You’re both trying to sync schedules around baby. How exactly will she do this mom thing and how do you help her?   It happened to me. One day I was cheerleading for the football team and the next–I was fighting with my mom, feeling oh-so tired and scared as I held a positive pregnancy test in my hands.  What did my future look …

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
