Nothing robs us of the joy of being a mom more thanfear.  Mom fear runs the gamut of things to be afraid of. It is something that begins a lot of times before we even become a mom.

And the struggle contin...

Fearless faith is choosing to trust God beyond the unknown. There are a lot of unknowns in the world and what is going on in it these days, but we should not be surprised or panicked at all.

Humility comes with its own set of misconceptions.   I believe we see what we may think "looks" like humility when, in...

Integrity isn’t something we see too much of in our societytoday.  Lying has become the native tongue of our culture.  Unfortunately, it is also the native tongue of the devil.

Prayer has the power to transform your children’s lives.  I do not doubt because I’ve seen God do it in my own children’s lives.  And seeing answers to your prayers for your children is one of the biggest blessings you have outside of the privilege of being their parent.

In a world demanding conformity, it is easy for us to feel worthless when we don't conform.  That simply isn’t the truth about our identity in Christ.  When we were spiritually dead in our sins, we had an extremely poor sense of our worth. Unfortunately, as a child of God, we still believe the lies the enemy tells us about our worth and value. Join Tina this week as she shares with you the pow...
