A Prayer for Raising Peacemakers 13:28

6M ago13:28

13:28

We are not immune to the chaos that swirls around us. It’s too tempting to want to stick our heads in the sand, to try to ignore the violence and conflict in the world, or to not do or say anything in order to “keep the peace.” Yet keeping the peace is not the same as being peacemakers: pursuing justice, healing, and wholeness. Join us as we come b…

A Prayer for Choosing Welcome 19:34

6M ago19:34

A Prayer for Struggling with Control 18:14

7M ago18:14

18:14

A Prayer for the Memories We Hold 14:01

8M ago14:01

14:01

There are countless moments we long to hold onto so that we remember them—your child waving bye to you as they step into their first day of school, watching them open presents on Christmas morning, a sweet smile stretching across their face one afternoon.

A Prayer for Our Neighborhoods 18:31

9M ago18:31

18:31

What does it mean for our families to love our neighbors? It doesn’t need to be grand gestures aimed at solving the world’s most complex issues. Loving our neighbors can simply look like showing up in the world—ordering extra pizza to share with others, hosting a game of pickup basketball in your front yard, learning the names of those who live on …

A Prayer for Divine Interruptions 16:11

9M ago16:11

16:11

What if we reframed the interruptions we as parents experience? This week, we pause to consider how interruptions may be times when God is speaking to us.

A Prayer for Weary Hearts & Spring Cleaning 12:32

11M ago12:32

12:32

It’s so easy to let “doing good” obscure our hearts, especially when it comes to trying to take care of children.

Let’s pray together, asking God to renew and refresh our hearts and those of our children, so we may enter into rhythms o…

A Prayer for Resurrection & Renewal 15:17

1y ago15:17

15:17

One of the most profound things we can learn from our children is embracing audacious imagination and unbridled joy.
