4 Signs Of Digitally Unhealthy Kids

by Heather Kolb August 08, 2019

If we are so integrated with technology throughout our daily lives, how do we know when it’s too much—when have we become too immersed in the world of technology? This is a question many parents ask and they often struggle to find the best answer.

Connecting The Dots

Connecting The Dots

by Rich Moore August 01, 2019 1 Comment

Remember the Connect the Dots worksheets we did in school or at home when we were kids? It was a fun exercise that grabbed our attention in discovering something new. A worksheet with seemingly random dots would eventually reveal a picture—a story would begin to take place on the page. Connecting the dots engaged our mind to what was possible, recognizing the outcome or finished picture as we came close to the end. A simple process but a great way to learn.

Hydeing Addiction

by Mike Maxwell July 25, 2019

For me, near the end, my addiction had grown to the point where I had accepted my “Hyde” and embraced the fact that he would be with me forever. My conscience was now seared. My best strategy was to keep hiding my “Hyde” as best I could.

Picture (Im)Perfect

Picture (Im)Perfect

by Sarah Peters July 18, 2019

Social media promotes the ability to build relationships, but sadly, in recent years, social media has become less about keeping connected with friends or family and more about showing others the wonderful parts of our life. There’s nothing wrong with sharing the positive parts of our day—I do this myself. But how often do we start scrolling and find ourselves feeling down…or “inspired?”

Self-Image: Five Steps To Overcome Shame

by Ben Bennett July 11, 2019

Our shame and self-image plays a significant factor in the unhealthy thoughts and actions we struggle with on a daily basis. Many of us don’t yet see ourselves as God sees us, because we’re stuck in seeing ourselves as the world, friends, and even the haters see us (#HatersGonHate).

My Independence Day

My Independence Day

by Brent Breining July 04, 2019 1 Comment

Just as God sent His Son into the world to free mankind from the weight of sin that enslaved us, our Founding Fathers rose up to throw off the shackles of an oppressive monarchy as the call of freedom rose up in their hearts.

Healthy Is The New Holy

Healthy Is The New Holy

by Rodney Wright June 27, 2019 4 Comments

In my opinion, this is sometimes where religious settings have gotten in the way of our healing. The 12-step group in the basement of the church is sometimes more honest than the pew or the pulpit in the sanctuary. The core of what Christ taught is about face-to-face relationship, which creates the opportunity for us to be open, honest, and vulnerable.

The Sad Truth Of Addiction

The Sad Truth Of Addiction

by Heather Kolb June 20, 2019 2 Comments

When we feel lonely, we self-medicate—we turn to our “something” behaviors for comfort. Whatever it is that we seek out for comfort—food, sex, shopping, pornography, gaming, social media—has a tendency to keep us in isolation.

As we once again celebrate Father’s Day, I’m reminded of my father’s virtues and struggles, as well as my own. For many people, Father’s Day is a time of celebration—honoring the man who taught us so much about the world around us, ourselves, and life.

3 Guardrails That Will Change Your Life

3 Guardrails That Will Change Your Life

by Nick Stumbo June 06, 2019

Guardrails can be so life-giving! If you think about it, even in His perfect creation, God had guardrails. Adam and Even knew limits even in paradise. They needed relationship, they worked, they had foods they could eat and foods they could not eat. They couldn’t fly, walk through walls, or be in two places at once (as far as we know) even when they were absolutely unstained by sin.

From Nesting To Nesting

From Nesting To Nesting

by Shari Chinchen May 30, 2019

I’ve heard people say that the goal of parenting is to work yourself out of a job—the idea being that if you do a good job parenting, your kids will grow up, leave your nest, and won’t need you anymore. I have to disagree. I think it’s more about allowing our parenting role to evolve through the seasons of parenting, and choosing to stay engaged in each other’s world as we navigate the transitions of life.

The Red Table Talk: What We Noticed, What They Got Right, and What's Next

by Trevor Winsor May 23, 2019

Oftentimes, we disregard the world or culture we live in because the perspective isn’t “Christian” or “biblically-based.” But, there are pockets of our world and people who still speak about things that are true, powerful, and very needed. This week, The Red Table Talk did just that!
