Embracing Joy in a Deceiving World
Happiness. The American Dream. You can achieve it if you work hard enough.

Home Base: Growing a Life Giving Family
Families are designed to be a child’s home base but many lack the understanding to integrate the Gospel. As a result everybody is on the run with no place to rest.

The Art of Mothering
It is so easy to parent out of fear and be mired in frustration and guilt because you want the best for your children in a world that will certainly wound them and pull them in directions opposite of your desires for them. These two talks help each mom understand their biggest obstacle to freedom, guides them in parenting out of faith, connects them with why their unique style of mothering is important, and encourages them in specific actions that will turn their mothering towards artistry.

Redeeming Our View of Manhood/Womanhood
Culture both screams and whispers to us its own definition of what we’re supposed to be as men and women. These eight talks help you to understand how your masculinity/femininity affect the way you think about yourselves and relate to God and others. They will help you move toward acceptance in who God made you to be, while putting off the deception and comparison that seek to rob you of living out His plan.
