Do you remember observing Maundy Thursday at home last year? It felt like a quaint, one-time experience to share with our households, then years later share as a story with future generations of the family. Except of course, it wasn’t a one-time experience. We’re here again a year later with another Maundy Thursday at home.
Using Saints and Holy Days to Teach Faith at Home
The pandemic has highlighted what I’ve known for years: faith formation happens at home not exclusively during a 45-minute period on Sunday morning.
What the Good Book Club is teaching us
The Good Book Club is wrapping up its fourth week today with the conclusion of chapter 10. Our household is participating once again this year, albeit more slowly. So rather than reading about blind Bartimaeus over dinner tonight, we’ll be back in chapter 8 discussing the costs of following Jesus.
Star Words, Chalked Blessings, and Manifestations of Christ
Our family has picked up a new Epiphany tradition each of the past few years.
The Good Book Club is Coming
I think this season of the Good Book Club will be especially appropriate for families with younger children for a number reasons.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, friends. For our household, this morning feels like we’ve finally reached the finish line of the most grueling ultramarathon race in history. Today we are putting aside the hallmarks of our 2020: anxiety, despair, and decision fatigue, so we can make room for twelve full days of joy and Jesus.
Thankfulness and Gratitude
Like everything else during coronatide, Thanksgiving is a day filled with tough choices.
Growing Christians is Here (and so is a discount code)!
The day is finally here: October 27th. It’s the publication date for Growing Christians, the first book we created as the Grow Christians community. Last week I shared a sneak peek inside the book on the Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist, and today I’d like to share why we wrote it.
Celebrating the Feast of Saint Luke with Growing Christians
Friends, we did it. We wrote a book.
A season of loss
It’s been a month of loss in our house.
