The Elusive Titus 2 Woman
Virtually everywhere we have lived, I’ve heard it– younger women lamenting the lack of wise women who can give them solid biblical teaching, & biblical encouragement.

12 Things Every Mommy Needs to Remember (Mom On Purpose, Day 1)
Yesterday we asked: AM I DOING THE MOST ESSENTIAL THING? Thoughts about essentialism and how it squares with my job as a mom have been swirling in my head for weeks. Saturday, it all came to a head when I realized I didn’t have my phone. My hands patted and searched, frenetically panicked like Bilbo Baggins’ hands when…
What’s Right in Front of Me: A Year of Personal Recalibration
For those long-time readers or people who know us in real life, this autobiographical background may be review, but it’ll help explain what follows: 12 years or so ago, for many reasons, we moved abroad.
