How to Trust God When Your Child Has Autism

Do you have a child with autism?

Did you have dreams for your life when you were younger? I’m curious… how have those dreams worked out for you? Has life turned out the way you imagined it would? 

As moms, our dreams are often put on hold, or sometimes come to a screeching halt when we have kids. This is especially true for families who have children on the autism spectrum. 

Now, I don’t want to imply that getting married and having kids is a lesser dream in any way than, say, ...

How to Talk to Your Kids About Pornography

Pornography. It’s not a fun topic to discuss, but it’s a very important conversation to have with our boys. (And not just an isolated discussion, but an ongoing conversation!)

The average age that kids are exposed to pornography is between the ages of 8-10. It’s literally everywhere. Especially when younger and younger kids have unlimited access to cell phones, ipads, and other devices. Even if you’ve been super careful to limit your child’s internet access, chances are they have a fr...

The Fruit of the Spirit: What we’ve been getting wrong

The Bible has a lot to say about growing things. From cultivating the soil, to planting seeds, to watering the plants, to producing fruit. 

One of the most well-known passages on fruit is found in Galatians 5.

In case you need a reminder, the fruit o...

How do we deal with regret in our parenting? Find out in this episode of Redeeming the Chaos.

Do you live with regret?

Many of us live with regrets. We look back at life and wish we would have made different choices. Maybe your regrets have to do with parenting choices you’ve made. Or maybe your regrets go back to sinful or foolish actions as a teen or young adult. 

None of us are perfect. We all live with the consequences of our choices. But for some of you, regret ...

Are Your Kids Afraid of Death?

Are your kids afraid of death? 

A few years ago, my grandfather passed away in his sleep. 

I remember talking with my boys about what a blessing it was for Great Grandpa to be in heaven with Jesus, and how he didn’t suffer much. “He just went to sleep and woke up in heaven!” 

Well, my four year old at the time didn’t want to go to bed that night. He was terrifi...

Do your boys love dragons? 

I have a fun new Easter tradition for you. Instead of a chocolate Easter bunny, I think we should start putting chocolate dragons in our kids’ Easter baskets. And then, give your kids a mallet and tell them to smash the dragon to pieces!
