The Amazing Calling of Motherhood
By Trillia Newbell
The other morning I woke up while my children were still sleeping and began to pray. I started thinking about my identity. Who am I? As I settled into my prayer time, I began to rejoice at the thought that I am a mother. It is part of who I am. To my children, it is my name: Mom. [Read more…]

Why Parenting Is Impossible (and How to Finish the Task)
This is a guest post by Paul Tripp, author and founder of the Parenting conference. It has been adapted from a blogpost and has been edited for readability.
It was 11:00 p.m. on a Sunday night and I was pulling out of the grocery store parking lot, exhausted and overwhelmed. After putting our four children to bed much later than we wanted to, my wife Luella discovered we didn’t have anything in the house to pack for the kids’ lunches the next day. So, with an attitude that couldn’t be described as joyful, I got in the car and did a late-night food run. As I waited for the light to change, it hit me. It seemed as if my mission was impossible: I was called to be the father of four children. [Read more…]
How the Curse of Adam & Eve Shows Up in Everyday Life
This post is by Jeannie Seery. It has been excerpted from Moment with God: A Devotional on Every Biblical Book.
Perhaps it’s because of the immense joy and pain I’ve experienced being a parent that I’ve been thinking a great deal lately about how the actions of Adam and Eve, our first parents, influence our daily lives.
As I’ve read it and heard it preached, the curse itself seems to be pretty straightforward: Women will toil in childbirth while men toil in work. I find myself wondering, though, how is this ancient curse evidenced in our modern existence, as we seek to work out our salvation with fear and trembling?
Marriage, Sex, and Questions Kids Ask
Bestselling authors and relationship experts Bill and Pam Farrel have teamed up with Faithlife to host a book group centered on their new devotional, A Couple’s Journey with God. To better connect the book group with the authors, we sat down with Bill and Pam. Here’s what they told us.
Q: Is it true you have a formula in Red-Hot Monogamy that calculates how much time it takes for a couple to create a love that lasts a lifetime?
Yes, we explain how much T.I.M.E. investment it takes to keep a red-hot love life with a simple acrostic:
- Ten to twenty minutes a day of talk time to stay emotionally connected.
- Invest in a weekly date night to keep fanning the flame.
- Monthly all-day getaway to be sure that your needs for romance and sex are met.
- Escape yearly—or better yet, twice a year: once for a marriage conference, and once for some rest and romance, like on your anniversary.
Q: What are a few ways couples can keep the Bible central to their relationship?
Bill and I see Bible study like one wonderful adventure! Anytime we learn something about biblical history, context, or words, we run and share it with the other! We also encourage couples to do the simple basics so they can feel successful with the Bible:
- Attend a Bible-teaching church together weekly.
- Be involved in a Bible study group together.
Have a five-minute time in the Word, like we encourage in A Couple’s Journey with God.
