Gospel Hope for Moms, Visiting the Lonely, and More

Replicating Our Faith

When I started listening to this message from Kelly Needham during my morning commute, I had no idea how much it would impact the rest of my week. Kelly shared this message at a women's luncheon, which was centered on what it means to replicate our faith. While Kelly offers helpful tools to build multigenerational, Titus 2 relationships, I was most impacted by her emphasis on how hopeless we are without Christ and how important it is to cling to Him alone.

The Hope That Moms Don't Need

Devoted: Great Men and Their Godly Moms

One of my all-time favorite blog series that we’ve shared on previous “Articles, Resources, and More” posts has now been turned into a book! This week, Tim Challies announced that his newest book, Devoted: Great Men and Their Godly Moms, is based on his articles about Christian men who counted their mothers as their primary spiritual influence. He writes, “Raising children to honor and glorify the Lord is the goal of every Christian mother, but how can you do that? One of the best ways to learn is to read examples of women who have succeeded at the very task you are attempting.” Read an excerpt of the recently released book!
