We live in a self-centered culture—but love requires that we focus our gaze away from ourselves and fix it far into the future. What kind of fruit do you want to see in the months that are ahead of you? Invest now. Love your family well. We are our children’s first introduction to how God sees them. Slow down and fix your eyes on what really matters. Good things are coming!

Life is just confusing sometimes, isn’t it? Today’s podcast is a collection of questions that don’t have clear answers. Thankfully we have the Lord to lean on and ask for wisdom!
Trump isn’t all that strong on abortion. Should I still vote for him? | Our daughter has gone “no contact” on us and won’t tell us why. | My co-worker has invited me to her homosexual wedding. What should I do? | What missionary stories did you read? 
Listen in, friends! I think you’ll be encouraged.

Mailbox Monday: Trump, No Contact Kids, and Missionary Stories

LifeWise Academy is on a mission to reach school children with the gospel—during school hours!  When LifeWise launched in 2018, the initial goal was to serve 25 schools by 2025, but it surpassed that long ago. By the start of this year, LifeWise had set up chapters in more than 300 schools in a dozen states, teaching 35,000 public school students weekly Bible lessons that are usually scheduled to coincide with lunch or non core courses such as library, art or gym class.

Man on a Mission: Joel Penton is Bringing the Gospel into Public Schools

Do you feel like you’re moving in the same direction with your spouse or just landing in the same room together every night? Today I’m joined by Gina & Julia Barbero and we’re talking about the importance of being on a shared mission with your spouse, collaboration with and support of each other. Money can be a major stressor in marriage, but it’s also a tool for a whole lot of good.

Having a Healthy Money Mindset and Being on a Shared Mission with Your Spouse with Julia and Gino Barbero

I want doctrinally sound worship music back. Where do I find it? | My husband cheated for almost a year. I’ve forgiven him and don’t want a divorce, but he doesn't want to work it out. | Are head coverings for women just a tradition we don’t need to follow? What does the Bible say about them? | I’m a new Christian. How do I study the Bible? | How do the different Bible translations differ?

Mailbox Monday: Ask the Pastor with Phil Hopper

My friend Abbie Halberstadt is joining me today and we’re here to encourage you on the marathon that is motherhood. We’re chatting about prioritizing family, ordering your days with intentionality, the importance of community and support in motherhood, the power of transparency and authenticity, the impact of social media on motherhood, and the important concept that hard is not the same thing as bad. I know you’ll be encouraged!
