Do you remember the Bourne Identity movies? It’s the classic amnesia scenario where a character doesn’t know who he is or what he’s doing. Can you imagine walking through life aimlessly wandering? Many people do. The thing is, if you’ve never been instructed and affirmed about how and by Whom you were created, you...
Perhaps it is easiest to teach theology from behind a pulpit. However, when it comes to our kids, theology is learned best while slurping spaghetti, casting a fishing line, or looking out the car window. This is true for a couple of reasons.

Have you ever thought, “If I were rich, all my problems would be resolved”? Have you ever imagined, “If I were thin, I would have the answer to all my insecurities”? How about, “When I get my dream job, life will finally come to me on my terms”? I suppose I don’t actually have...
We parents should not allow our preschool-aged children to engage in certain activities until they’re a little older.

Narcissus was an unusual boy in Greek mythology. The son of Greek gods, he was endowed with a beauty that was beyond that of ordinary mortals. Women were enchanted by his beauty–even the other gods were mesmerized by him. The rest of Narcissus was all too ordinary. He was young, and like too many...
Our modern world has brought us many wonderful things that were not imagined by previous generations. Wifi, for example—I love me some of that Wifi. GPS/Google Maps is amazing—remember trying to fold up those impossible paper maps? Perhaps the best of them all are Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. Eat one of those frozen and...
Wimpy Dads: I am not talking about some guy who cannot carry a couch over his shoulder or who has never played Rugby. I am talking about the dad who does not understand his role as a man, and therefore cannot fulfill his responsibilities as a father and a husband. There was a time...
Every Dad has super powers. In fact, if you are a dad, you do not have the ability to NOT have them. You just do—so you had better embrace it. Fathers have a special way to influence their families that creates a ripple effect for generations to come. This is a huge responsibility, and...
