3 Lessons from My Grown-Up Kids

Joe Connelly

Spiritual Identity

Jennifer and I were very intentional in raising loving, faithful, and engaged children, trying never to speak down to them, and regularly inviting conversation where disagreement presented itself.

You Can’t Find Purpose from a Job Alone

Chad Lakies

Spiritual Identity

Work isn’t just where you make a living and earn a paycheck. You’re working when you’re changing your children’s diapers and seeking to raise them well. You’re working when you’re obeying the laws of your society, which aim to bring security and peace to you and your neighbors.

What to do when you doubt God

Don Everts

Spiritual Identity

On my own journey, I’m so thankful that I encountered believers who gave me the space and language and freedom to bite at God’s silence, to ask hard questions, to wonder.

How Long, O Lord?

Ella Kerr

Spiritual Identity

I have tried to find new ways to praise. I open my Bible and bow my head and I still turn the volume high on worship music. But it doesn’t feel the same. The joy is drained from my worship. And grief overtakes me once again.

Restored for a Reason

Thomas Eggold

Spiritual Identity

Jesus doesn’t love us because we lived our lives without regret. And just as He knew that Peter would deny Him, our Lord knows what we have done, He knows about our guilt, He knows about our regrets, and for those sins He went to the Cross.

If You’re a Doubter, You’re Not Alone

Chad Lakies

Spiritual Identity

The thought “we’re all gonna die” can act as a kind of wake-up call…and it indicates how persistently we are haunted by the possibility that there might be something more, something unseen, something enchanted, something beyond.

Is God Ghosting Me?

Christina Schuetz

Spiritual Identity

It has been six years since my daughter took her last breath in my arms, and I am just now beginning to hear God again. It hasn’t been an easy process, and it is a process far from over.

ADHD and Me

Kelsie McWilliams

Spiritual Identity

Women with ADHD often go undiagnosed because society tells us to turn our struggles inward. We assume that if we can’t meet certain standards or perform certain tasks that we must be the problem, not the expectations that are placed on us.
