What is motherhood all about? Elizabeth Schlueter helps us perceive the beautiful truth about motherhood amid cultural extremes. She joins us this week to challenge common myths about motherhood and cast a Christian vision for the beauty of self-giving love and sacrifice. Whether you're married or single, raising children or not, you’ll be encouraged to form a virtuous life centered around sacrificial love and committed relationships.

As Christians, we’re called to love God with all our minds, and be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Without a mind that’s shaped by God’s Word, we’ll struggle to champion the truth, beauty, and goodness of God’s Kingdom in this time and place. To address this problem, Michael Craven, Vice President of Equipping and Mobilization at the Colson Center has written a brand-new, free e-book called The Christian Mind: Its Necessity to Christian Relevance and Renewal. It’s a primer on developing a thoroughly Christian mind for the sake of the Kingdom. If you want a more robust faith that actually shapes how you live in the world today, or if you’re wondering why cultivating a Christian mind really matters, you should read this book. You can grab your free copy by going to colsoncenter.org/book.  

Join us May 14 at 7pm Eastern for Lighthouse Voices with Alisa Childers and Tim Barnett, co-authors of The Deconstruction of Christianity. Faith deconstruction is a growing movement influencing churches and drawing believers from the solid ground of biblical truth. At this event, Alisa Childers and Tim Barrnett will help us understand what deconstruction really is, why it’s influencing so many, and how the Church can help those who are wrestling with their faith. You’ll be equipped with practical tools to counter the influence of deconstruction and pursue those who are veering toward it. This free event will be held in-person in Holland, Michigan and online via livestream. To RSVP and claim your spot today, go to colsoncenter.org/lighthouse.   

The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what’s happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them.  Learn more about the Colson Center here: https://www.colsoncenter.org/
