“Too many boys are turning to virtual worlds of television, video games, digital media, and the internet to find realms they can conquer and areas where they can excel. The result of this virtual conquest is often apathy, apparent rebellion, or outright resistance to real-world challenge.” This is why Trail Life USA is such an answer to prayer for families with boys! Trail Life USA gives boys a chance to conquer the great outdoors and life skills with the mentorship of godly men who pour into these boys the Biblical values we all hold dear. Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, discusses the beginning of the program as well as the vision and mission of this important organization.

So many times we think about celebrations with our family and how can we make holidays and special seasons more memorable. One thing I hear often is, “What do you do about Easter?” Well, today Kirsten Hitchcock from David C Cook Publishing is telling us all about their new Lent and Easter season event, Around the Table: A Taste of Passover. This package includes 5 Bible lessons and a handbook for doing your own Seder celebration with your children, friends, and family during this season. The Bible lessons can be done 4 before Holy Week and one the week after Easter. The handbook breaks down all you need for the Seder celebration from shopping lists to the entire outline of the story and what to say when during the meal. It is such a great opportunity to help our children understand the roots of Jesus and His redemptive story in the Old Testament as we celebrate and remember His death and resurrection from the New Testament. It will become a family tradition!
