In Who’s Targeting Your Marriage? I brought up the idea that our marriages have a target on their back because they are important to God’s kingdom. As this series continues, I’m addressing the five ways Satan gets a foothold in our marriage, and how he saunters into our bedroom – sometimes with our inadvertent permission. For the last four years I’ve had my own business. I’ve worked intimately ... View Post
Who’s Targeting Your Marriage?
Is your marriage perfect? If you’re nodding, you’re lying. If you’re not lying, then we can’t be friends. I don’t have room for that kind of perfection in my life. Here’s why. My husband and I got into a disagreement this week. For the life of us we couldn’t see eye to eye. This was probably our 400th squabble this year.

Or maybe you’re wondering why this woman is on trial in 2017 for the death of ... View Post
Jesus and the Colorblind Conference
Over the weekend my husband and I had the privilege of leading several workshops at the National Capital Christian Education Conference in Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC. We had each spent weeks writing our own material and seeking out God to help us balance our testimony and teaching His truth.
