Rock Your Faith: Take God at His Word
This week’s subject may seem like a no-brainer to some. But even though we may claim to know these things, actually living as if we do can be challenging at times. So, what do you believe about God’s Word? Do you know how and why taking God at His word can rock your faith? And the most important question, do you act on it?
Rock Your Faith: Personal Accountability & Snowplow Parents
We are in a series called “Rock Your Faith.” The principle in this week’s post, Personal Accountability & Snowplow Parents” is at the heart of our ability to grow and change. Without it, our growth will be stunted at best. It’s something with which most of us struggle. It affects our relationships with God, with others, and our ability to parent well. Yet, much of what has been written about it is far from helpful.
Rock Your Faith: The Danger of Self-Imposed Blindness
Last week I shared about something that happened almost 20 years ago that rocked my walk with God and my husband’s, as well. The change that God did through it eventually rippled out into every part of our lives. Today I’m going to talk about a principle that will not only rock our lives personally but will lay the foundation for understanding and obeying the other principles we find in God’s Word.
Rock Your Faith Walk & Last Week’s Round Up
Almost 20 years ago, something happened that rocked my walk with God. He had been prodding my husband and I to get more involved in our church. You see we had been wounded a few years before and we were leaving behind one of those “we’ll-just-go-to-church-and-leave-right-afterward” seasons. Maybe you’ve had one. As you may have learned, God is never content to leave us there.

35 Lessons I’ve Learned in 35 Years of Marriage [+ Newsletter]
Marriage is hard. It takes work. It takes staying committed in a world that says, “If I’m not happy, I’m outta here.” Yet, none of us marries with the idea that it won’t last. We get married thinking our relationship will be different. We’re in love and plan to live happily ever after. That lasts about a week-and-a-half.
Instead, marriage is like God’s sandpaper. It exposes our basic selfishness and all our rough edges. But if we let God teach us where we need to grow and change … if we learn to forgive … if we learn what it means to give grace to one another … if we stay committed through the good times and the bad, marriage can be one of God’s greatest gifts.
