What the Good Book Club is teaching us

January 28, 2021 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

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.

May 21, 2019 By Melody Wilson Shobe Leave a Comment

As you make your plans for summer study or travel, for camps and play dates, consider making some time for summer formation as well.  After all, your kids (at least) might have some extra time, and what better opportunity to grow in the knowledge and love of God?!

My parents bought me a scary children’s Bible. Then I let my own child see one.

September 30, 2017 By Carrie Willard 2 Comments

One would think, after my own experience, that I’d be ultra careful with my own kids’ scriptural education.
