Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Have you ever stopped, paused, and considered the question—Why are we educating them? Of course, we want to equip them with the skills and knowledge to be mature and wise adults. Sure, we desire to help launch them into a career that will bless their future selves. But is this our end goal, my friends? No!

"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins". 1 Peter 4:8.

How often our world sneakily distorts our vision. What we see when we look out at our lives, spouses, children, and vocations becomes blurred with fear, anxiety, judgment, pride, and worry. But what if we were never meant to live perfectly, but rather love abundantly? What if shifting our vision to one clarified by th...
