Robert Anderson, a theologian from the early 20th century, once said, "In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find and continue to find grounds for marriage."
If you look hard enough, you can find reasons to call it quits in almost any marriage. Missed expectations, disagreements, annoyances, boredom—the list goes on.
Parenting isn't just about teaching right from wrong or setting rules. It's about guiding our children on the path ahead—with patience, love, and encouragement. Yes, kids can fray your nerves and drain your energy. You're juggling school, activities, community commitments, and the endless to-do lists. But don't miss the sweets—the moments worth celebrating with your kids.
Here's the hard truth: life doesn...
Change is not easy. But it's not necessarily about turning all of who we are upside down to be someone else either. Don't hide from yourself, waiting to be the one you think you're becoming. Be who you are becoming.
Every day, you make choices. How you show up. Who you talk to. Where you go. But how often do you deliberately choose to be who you want to become, right now?
Imagine if everyone wore a sign that said: Be kind with your comments. It sounds simple, but the way we speak, whether to ourselves or others, often misses this mark. Sometimes, we toss out smart-aleck remarks, pretending to be funny, or just ramble without thinking twice. But here's the truth. Words hurt. So being kind with what you say matters more than you realize.
Because no matte...
Some say to lead without fear is impossible. I disagree —because when you focus on taking action right now, willing to take the very next step, there's simply no room for fear to grip you. Fear sneaks in only when you hesitate, when you overthink, or doubt wha...
Comparison is a trap that keeps you living a borrowed life. But the person you are becoming requires you to stop looking sideways and start walking your own road. All you can do is be you!
"Comparison is the thief of joy." ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Winning the battle inside your mind is the daily challenge Paul points to in 2 Corinthians 10:5 — "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." This is how we live with purpose and obedience each day.
Let's be real—it's way too easy to blame others when life feels out of control.
It's a familiar story. The calendar fills up with commitments, invitations, and obligations. Someone asks, and the default response is "Sure, I can help," or "Count me in." Only later, the spouse looks up, realizing that those dozens of external "yes's" have quietly pushed the relationship down the list of priorities. It's not malicious or neglectful — far from it. It's often a simple lack of boundaries and ma...
Parenting is a high-stakes balancing act. Every parent wants their children to grow up rooted in truth—clear about right and wrong—while also feeling deeply loved and supported through the inevitable stumbles along the way. Striking this balance is challenging but essential to raising confident, grounded kids who can navigate life with integrity and heart.
Tom Ziglar, who is Zig Ziglar's son, captures thi...
Life isn't a smooth walk in the park. It drags us through storms, chaos, and setbacks—sometimes leaving us breathless and battered. We push through, hoping that if we just keep moving, the mess will clear, and the weight will lift. But often, it doesn't. That's why the best advice you can give yourself is simple: don't worry about tomorrow.
Because when you do, the future feels like a looming threat. The ...
Juggling everything—work, family, goals—while keeping your health intact isn't just tough, it's brutal. Most of us push our bodies and minds to the edge, then act surprised when the burnout hits or the energy fades. I wish I'd started sooner.
Prioritizing health sooner is vital because, without it, all those big dreams and responsibilities start to crumble. You can't run at full throttle if your tank is e...
Most of us will move mountains for others. We'll stay late, bend over backward, and drop everything when someone needs us. But ask yourself this: how often do you show that same loyalty to yourself? Be honest. When the day is done, are you the first person you let down? Too often, the answer is yes. And that's a problem. So be intentional and keep your promises to yourself.
Don't be quick to leave yoursel...
When was the last time you really set your sights on your dreams? Not a casual thought, not a "someday" wish, but a full-on, no-holds-barred vision of what your life could look like if you stopped settling—and started living. Life can feel like a relentless tumble, a circus of acrobatics where we flip and spin just to keep up, just to feel alive. We hustle the grind, bury our true desires, and let joy become a...
Life pulls us in every direction—good things, bad things, urgent things, distracting things. Even blessings can become blinders that keep us from the most essential relationship we have: the one with God. How often during your day do you pause and come to Him? How often do you look up from your to-do list, your worries, your wins, to simply be with the Father, knowing your Father's heart?
Scripture calls ...
Marriage is the union of two imperfect people coming together to build a life that's uniquely theirs. It isn't a smooth, predictable journey—it's a voyage filled with unexpected twists, turns, and new territories neither partner has navigated before. When you say "I do," you make a commitment not just to love but to embrace the uncharted together.
Here's the truth: in marriage, differences in opinion, dre...
Brace yourself—parenting is not all sunshine and rainbows. If you're expecting an easy road, think again. Most parents start with hope in their hearts and dreams of perfect moments. But the reality? It's a wild mix of heartbreaks and breakthroughs, chaos and calm, frustration and joy. All the more reason to get louder with the truth.
Life as a parent is like a complex recipe: a dash of sweetness tangled w...
All of a sudden, the winds begin to shift. The wet and cold weather starts to settle in, signaling that the season is changing. With this change comes challenges—the unknown rises up, knocking on the door of your life. And there you sit, held by your breath.
Life doesn't always make sense. You face what comes at you without invitation. You hold tight to what you desire, only to watch it slowly slip away. ...
Life never really slows down, does it? No matter how much we want to hit pause or catch our breath, the demands just keep piling on. Saying "no" more than "yes" might buy us some space, but it won't stop the noise or the push of everything that needs our attention. And yet here you are, standing in the doorway of change, in preparation for the season.
Maybe you're still hoping to nail that health goal you...
In life, we can sometimes have the idea that saying yes to everything is the way to live. But then, when life happens and you're in a season of more chaos than calm, no becomes the easier way out. Yet, what happens when you get that call; the one that connects with who you are and who you are becoming--your purpose and passion with your presence. Will it be one more yes?
No one has magical moments, except...
Think back to the time when your dreams took center stage; it's all you could do not to chase them. But then life happens, and you begin doing all the things, only to realize that life isn't made up of all your dreams, yet you're still weaving in and out of those you care for. It's quite messy. But then, you find yourself accomplishing the one thing—just by chance.
Or is it just by chance? Every day, you...
