“Help me out, fellow moms,” my friend pleaded on Facebook. “How can I talk about God with my kids? They go to preschool at a church and I feel like they know Jesus better than I do!” As Christian parents, we want to be the main spiritual influence in our kids’ lives. We want to […] Read more…
There comes a time in every Christian parent’s life when you have to stop rushing through the verse in the Bible that says “the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin named Mary”….and explain Jesus’ birth to your kids.

“Mom, who is God?” The surprising question came from my quiet 6 year old. And honestly, in the moment, I wasn’t sure what to say! Strange, right? But sometimes, when we’ve known the Lord for awhile, we find it hard to explain WHO He is in words. So I gave my son the quick answer, […] Read more…
