Christmas is more than twinkling lights, festive songs and family gatherings. It’s a season to draw closer to God and to one another. For couples, creating faith-centered traditions can transform December into a time of spiritual connection and intentional love.

Whether it’s lighting a candle each night while offering prayers of gratitude, sending Scripture-inspired messages of encouragement, or enjoying a phone-free evening to trul...

Nathan is an aspiring pastor and soon to be dad who has been working tirelessly sometimes 7 days a week to provide for his family. Even through setbacks and financial struggles, Nathan and his wife Jenna trust in God to provide for all their needs.

We had to let go of our house, our car, and some of our belongings to move back with family here. He's been working hard day and night...even through all of the hardships we've gone throu...

Christmas is busy. Like, “where did I put the scissors, and why is the tape stuck to the cat” busy. Brant and Sherri know this all too well, which is why Brant grabbed his acoustic guitar and wrote the ultimate holiday anthem: “Get Me Some Presents.”

It starts off sounding like a heartfelt reminder about slowing down during the season… and then takes a sharp left turn. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that perfectly captures the tug‑...

Words carry weight. They can either tear down or build up, curse or bless. Brant and Sherri remind us of the incredible opportunity we have to add value through our speech. Instead of defaulting to criticism or negativity, we can cultivate a heart that is ready to bless others with kindness.

Brant points to Proverbs 31, where it says that the virtuous woman speaks with the “law of kindness” on her tongue. This isn’t just about occas...

Since 1991, Lynden’s Northwest Lighted Christmas Parade has been the ultimate small-town kickoff to the holiday season — think twinkling floats, marching bands, and even farm equipment decked out in Christmas lights.

When I think about peace and joy, I don’t see them as distant ideals we’ll never reach—I see them as promises we’re invited to live into right now. Sherri's uncle’s words have stuck with me: peace is joy resting, and joy is peace dancing—and I believe that staying connected to God makes those promises real, giving us a pervasive sense of wellbeing no matter what life throws our way.

While Sierra was working through her battle with addiction, her mother Ronda was the rock she leaned on.

She has always supported me, and she's always been there for me. Even when she's struggling, she doesn't show it or tell anybody, she just keeps pushing. I just appreciate everything she does because without her my son wouldn't have a place to live and I just wouldn't have the support that I get from my mom.

Though Ronda has also ...

In a world that often feels loud with judgment and quick to condemn, the quiet voice of grace can seem absent. Brant is reflecting on a book by Kirsten Powers—he hasn't read it so he's not endorsing it—highlighting its central theme: grace, and how desperately our culture needs it. Kirsten describes grace as giving other people space to not be you. 

Scripture tells us that grace is not just a theological concept—it’s a way of living...

When Richard Dawkins, one of the world’s most outspoken atheists, scoffs at the idea of God working through “bronze age, camel herders from the Middle East,” he unintentionally highlights a theme that runs like a thread through Scripture. Brant takes this very skepticism and turns it into a powerful reminder: God’s story is filled with unlikely heroes. From Galilee—an obscure and overlooked corner of the ancient world—to shepherds,...

I just read something that said 50% of children in America will experience their parents' divorce this holiday season.

The holidays are supposed to be filled with joy, but for parents navigating divorce and co-parenting, they can feel complicated and heavy. Many of us know the ache of putting on a brave smile while our kids bounce between households, trying to give them the magic of Christmas or Thanksgiving without letting them see...

We’ve all had those moments when life feels like it’s keeping score—late fees, deadlines, rules that don’t bend. Brant shares a story from Phillip Yancey about being nearly an hour late to return a rental car in Los Angeles, and most of us can already feel the sting of the penalty coming. But instead of a fine, the Hertz desk clerk smiled and explained there was a “grace period.” No charge. No punishment. Just grace.

That simple exc...

What if our deepest longing wasn’t to escape this world—but to live in it with heaven in view? Phil Wickham shares with Lynette the inspiration behind his new album Song of the Saints and the powerful message of “Homesick for Heaven.” Rooted in childhood wonder, spiritual legacy, and the joy of watching his children grow, we're invited to embrace a faith that looks upward while living fully right here and now.

Brant and Sherri explore the sloth’s dating life, where romance involves sitting in a tree and yelling until someone shows up—no texting, no awkward small talk. Brant suggests this might be more effective than modern dating apps, which require a master’s degree in emoji interpretation. Turns out, nature’s slowest mammal might be onto the fastest way to find love.

In a world that seems addicted to outrage, Brant and Sherri offer a countercultural message rooted in grace. As headlines scream and comment sections boil over, they remind us—through Scripture and honest reflection—that human anger rarely leads to righteousness.

Brant’s book, Unoffendable, challenges the idea that we’re entitled to our fury, and instead points to James’ wisdom: “Human anger does not produce the righteousness that G...
