I’m a fan of Christian films. Not all of them, mind you, but I do love a good story – and what could be better than one that points to true hope? Of course, haters gonna hate, and creative Christian expression, along with a good deal of simply wholesome entertainment, has suffered the ire of movie critics through the years who can’t stomach faith-forward storytelling. Edginess, angst, graphic sexuality – and woke politics often win the favor of these “experts.” However, their

Confetti’s barely off the floor and the kids are already asking what’s for breakfast – so yes, it’s officially Resolution Season. But for 2026, we’re not doing the usual “drink more water” promises we forget by February. This year comes with a built-in headline: America turns 250. That’s not just a fun history fact for a trivia night – it’s a once-in-a-lifetime birthday party for the greatest nation on earth, and it deserves more than a half-hearted goal and a planner we aban

There's something about the way we celebrate in America. It can be over-the-top in color, creativity, flair - and often in scope. Others may accuse us of sometimes overdoing things a bit, but it's how we roll in the land of the free, home of the brave. We won't apologize for our massive balloons careening down 6 th Avenue on Thanksgiving morning as enthusiastic volunteers grip ropes with all they've got as an unexpected wind gust threatens disaster. It's the perfect mix of f

Ever since around 2020, everything seems more extreme. Politically charged tension, controversies, conspiracies, and, in general, widespread contention in our culture. The cherry on top has been the tangible push we've seen to draw our kids away from healthy, wholesome influences towards activist ideals and alternative lifestyles. These days, we moms have to sleep with one eye open as formerly trusted teachers, doctors, and online influencers have attempted to charm the heart

Are you a reader? Between carpool lines and soccer practice, school or job responsibilities, laundry, and getting dinner on the table – no judgment here. In some seasons, it feels almost impossible to find a break in the schedule to indulge in the relaxing escape of a gripping tale. Whether you are an avid reader now, many of us have fond memories of getting lost in the pages of a book. This week, we are celebrating literature with ten ways to help your kids love reading. Bu

Life is precious. People are indispensable. Each life is a work of art by the Master Designer who knows each page of our story – from beginning to end, before even one page is written . Human life is a miracle , so intricate that science is still uncovering mysteries revealed in DNA, the immune system, and the human eye. Your life as a mom, an elderly grandmother’s beauty and wise influence, and the little one growing in the womb of a young woman or teen. From the giggle of a

All eyes turned to Washington, D.C., last week to watch two consequential cases before the Supreme Court. When the decisions are rendered this summer, they will inform whether states have a right to ban biological boys and men from girls’ and women’s sports. They will decide on women’s safety on sporting fields, their right to privacy in the locker room, and whether women will continue to enjoy the rights afforded to them by Title IX. When the lines of biological reality are

Is common sense making a comeback? You might not think so if you go by the headlines. Like the embarrassing behavior of our California governor at the World Economic Forum, an idiotic mob wreaking havoc in Minnesota to prevent the arrest of a child predator and other criminals. Some officials there seem to hope that the sheer magnitude of the chaos will cover up the billions of taxpayer funds lost to fraud in that state’s widespread corruption. Chaos reigns in Iran, and more
