Before Christi and I were married, we went through a ton of pre-engagement (yes, I recommend this) and pre-marital counseling. We sometimes left thinking the plethora of issues we talked about were overkill. Turns out, our amazing counselors, Dr. Victor and Peggy Hinson, have some wisdom in those 40+ years of marriage together. To this day,… View Post

Tired of Kids Who Want, Want, Want? 7 Ways to Raise Generous Kids

Do you remember the viral craze a few years ago called the Cold Water Challenge, where people were nominated by someone on social media to give to a charity of their choice? Sounded altruistic, right?

Yet, the catch was if you decided to take a video of yourself jumping into cold water you only had to donate $10. If you chose not to jump into a body of cold water within 24 hours, record it on video, and post it on a social media site, you had to cough up the Benjamin (i.e. $100).

Though I appreciated the idea behind it, jumping in cold water to avoid giving money seemed quite backwards to me.View Post

John wrote, “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19, CSB). Our capacity to love and “see” our kids is a reflection of how well we have received love and felt “seen” by others. 
 
When we feel seen, we feel loved. 
When we feel loved, we see others. 
When others feel seen, they feel loved. 
When others feel loved, they see others. 
And the cycle continues. 
 
This is how we build the Kingdom of God—by experiencing the love of a Father who is closer to us than our clothes. 
 
A Father who is compassionate. 
A Father who is gracious. 
A Father who is slow to anger. 
A Father who is abounding in steadfast love.

None of us can live fully alive and “see” others without that security. And your Heavenly Father knows that. Which is why He’s always available.
