Does God Really Love You?

March 20, 2014 By Joshua Straub Leave a Comment

  A few weeks ago, I traveled to speak at a marriage conference in Texas. My wife, Christi, who was in the middle of a 14-week stint of all-day sickness from her current pregnancy, was unable to travel with me. So she stayed home with our 18-month-old son, Landon. He’s at the age now where he misses me when I’m… View Post

Loving Tiny Humans

  (guest post by my lovely wife, Christi. Originally posted on Meleea.com on August 3, 2013) by Christi Straub Family is our first experience of being connected to another in love – it’s the most selfless, grounding, strengthening, wings-to-fly kind of love. But love starts out in a funny way. We’re born into a strange world through a horribly painful process. We… View Post

Why ‘God’s Plan for Your Life’ is a Myth

March 6, 2014 By Joshua Straub 2 Comments

  We live in arguably the most individualistic culture in one of the most individualistic periods in history. The proof alone can be found in last year’s Oxford University Press word of the year—“selfie.” Apparently Microsoft Word hasn’t trended toward self-centeredness yet. It doesn’t recognize the word. But we do. Boy, do we ever. Consider that nearly 45 million pictures… View Post

The Face Game

March 3, 2014 By Christi Straub Leave a Comment

  (Originally posted on June 19, 2013) By Christi Straub: My little family consists of me, my husband and partner-in-crime, Josh, and my adorably sweet and feisty baby boy, Landon. I love those two boys with the passion and ferocity of a momma tiger. Josh and I are borderline obsessed with our little boy. We are textbook first time parents… View Post

So many of us live such busy lives that we sit in So many of us live such busy lives that we sit in our bed at the end of day failing to reflect on what went right. Instead, we silently beat ourselves up. 
We feel ashamed for speaking to our spouse the way we did. 
We feel scared about a health issue we can’t figure out. 
We feel lonely in our work.
We feel inadequate for not being able to fix the faucet. 
We feel exasperated by our kids.
We feel sad the day didn’t go as planned. 
Then, we fall asleep. 
No wonder we wake up uninspired. We meditate on what’s not working.
Death by a thousand cuts. 
Somewhere along the way, just like the Israelites, we forget. We forget to heed the age-old wisdom of meditating on the Word both day and night, so that we may be careful to do everything written in it, and be prosperous (Joshua 1:8).
When we don’t reflect on our day through God’s eyes, we wake up the next morning trying to keep going on our own will. 
Reflection awakens the soul. Instead of stuffing the ugly, meditating on the bad, and ignoring the good, surrender all of it to God and filter daily circumstances through what His Word says. When you do this you notice the moments that move your soul—the courageous yeses to what connect, inspire, and resurrect the world around us. Life by a thousand brave yeses.

Ever had your kids ask you a question you never th Ever had your kids ask you a question you never thought of before and were left speechless in how to answer? What makes those questions even more intimidating is when they’re questions about the Bible. It’s no wonder discipling our kids can feel overwhelming. But what if you don’t need to know all of the answers? 
In this week’s episode, @joshua.straub and @christistraub talk about the ways we can resource our kids in not only looking for answers to their questions, but also falling more in love with Jesus. They also talk about how their new devotional, 10 Days of the Easter Story: A Family Experience Through the Feelings of Holy Week, is structured and written as a framework for getting our kids engaged in the stories of Scripture. Watch this episode at the link in our bio.
