I hear from a lot of parents who really want their kids to grow up to know and love God. I want so much to support families in this way, so I thought I would share a bit of what we've done with our boys, in case it might encourage a few people... As most of you know, my husband Dave and I have four sons. As I write, they are ages 19, 17, 14, and 8. And as I write, all four of them really, truly, independently love Jesus.

Something New for Praying Moms
On any given day, there's a lot we can worry about as moms. My boys do some crazy things: They surf powerful waves, jump off big rocks, and dive deep caves.

Spiritual Growth: What I’m Doing Now {A V-log}
