Are you SHINING for the Lord? Join Heidi as she talks about the danger of "acceptable" sin and why God's Word says we need to master it!

The Bible says we’re supposed to be able to “give an answer for the hope that lies within us.” (1 Peter 3:15) So what does that look like today? What does it look like to follow Paul’s instructions to “shine forth” God’s love today? Does it mean that blend in with the culture? Not according to the Apostle, who went to great lengths to tell us to “run” from anything that displeases God. So where does that put Christ-followers today? Right where we need to be: salt and light. Join Heidi today and she shines a little light on the half-time performance from yesterday’s Superbowl. We’re no longer slaves to sin—we’ve been set free!

Genesis 4:7

Parenting is not for the faint of heart. The Lord is for you and will help you to not become weary as you raise your children. We're told not to exasperate our children, but we often end up exasperated ourselves! Regardless, we are held accountable for how we steward our training and instruction of our children. Join me and be encouraged today!

Grace Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel -Parents in our post-modern world tend to be committed to but anxious about their child-rearing responsibilities. They’ve tried the countless parenting books on the market, but many of these are strident, fear-based books that loving parents instinctively reject, while still searching for direction.

Some cultures tell us we're not allowed to do what God actually tells us to do in regards to discipline. Surprisingly enough, not everyone agrees about it! ;) There are many good reasons to spank our kids, but I have a theory about why people have trouble with spanking, so listen in and let me know what you think!

The role of women seems to be misunderstood in our culture in a fairly grievous way. We're told that a wise woman builds her home. Today I'm talking about what that looks like (and what it doesn't look like). Homes are the foundation on which our society is built, and we have an opportunity to be the voice of Jesus to a generation who has lost its way. Join me, and let's start building!
