Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Heather Hart was at church one Sunday when she realized just how much pain He endured for us, and just how little she was willing to suffer to worship Him in return…
This past weekend, my husband and I went on a one-night marriage retreat. There was a lot of material that was covered, but there was one lesson that stuck out to me. About if our marriages are an advertisement of the Gospel. Hmmmm… how many times do I want our marriage, well my life in…
The off-handed comment was followed by laughter as the two guys exchanged looks. The only purpose to that remark could have been to rub salt in the wound and I could feel the anger building in my teenage son who was standing next to me. All three of them were oblivious to me at this…
“Pass him! Pass him!! Pass!!! Him!!!!” I screamed louder and louder until my voice grew horse. The cross country runners were less than twenty yards from the finish line and closing and my boy was just inches from passing the runner in front of him. I knew he could take him. And he did. (Okay,…
As I closed the door I realized that I had failed again. The sweet ladies I had just told I wasn’t interested in what they were peddling had been nothing but kind. And I was dismissive. Worse yet, I had suggested I already had what they were promoting. But that was a lie. They said…
I talk to so many women online that I feel like I connect with. We think we would be great friends if we just lived closer together. But can I be real with you for just a moment? I know there are women right here in my community that are just as real that I…

I was the only mom at the pool that day. As I sat there with sweat rolling down my back, perched at the picnic table in the shade, laptop out, I thought about the differences between my childhood and that of my children. I was raised by a single mom. I say that, but I…
I was torn up online. I was hurt by people I didn’t know. My attackers called themselves Christians, and were chastising my lack of faith. But it wasn’t a lack of faith at all. It was an honest statement. Probably one all too many of us could have related to if we were honest. That’s…
I remember driving my friends to church when I was in high school. One night, on our way home, I was pulled over. I remember it for two reasons. One, because it was the very first time I had ever been pulled over. And two, because one of the guys in the back seat had…
Have you ever wondered what the gospel looks like in real life? My Story I didn’t plan ahead. Well, I did. I planned to do four days of work in one morning. It was a bad plan. On the morning in question, I got multiple phone calls needing me to step out of my office…
Never give up, that’s the encouragement Candid Gal, Jessica Schneider, is sharing with us today.Please join us as we welcome her to our blog. Being a Christ follower is hard.
