Parents who raise life-ready kids have these seven traits in common. Which ones do you excel in?
Each of these seven traits can transform our parenting, filling our children’s hearts and minds with God’s truth.

God’s way of life is the abundant life (John 10:10). Learning how to live out these traits in our parenting gives our children a model for living out the abundant life for themselves.

Are you tired of reading this summer? Well . . .

For many of us, summer is the season for catching up on the books we didn't have time to read during the rest of the year. Some of us hunker down with books that challenge us to grow. Others just want to relax and fly through a stack of novels at the beach. ☀️🏖️

Whatever your reading style, there's no reason your books can't be both enjoyable and beneficial.
God created us with minds, hearts, and imaginations. When we read for both truth and pleasure, we're making good use of those gifts.

Want some recommendations?

Do you feel pressure to put on your “happy church face” on Sunday morning?

What would happen if church were the one place where you could share your struggles, fears, and joys? What if church life could be lived out in high definition?

Christians should be able to live openly and honestly. Our message needs to be clear: we are people who struggle too. We need Jesus and believe he is our only hope for healing.

Raising kids in a digital world isn't easy.

But we can learn how to navigate screens, social media, AI, and technology with biblical wisdom and practical guidance for every stage of parenting.

Here are 5 habits you can start as a family to raise wise kids in a digital world!

✅ Habit 1: Model the Right Behaviours
Remember, your children are always watching you!

✅ Habit 2: Pursue Authentic Connection
Strong parent-child relationships are vital for healthy growth and development.

✅ Habit 3: Encourage Work and Play
Encouraging meaningful work and active play helps combat the effects of excessive screen time.

✅ Habit 4: Delay Addictive Technologies
Many forms of technology are designed to be highly engaging. When possible, delay access so your children can develop healthy habits first.

✅ Habit 5: Be Diligent in Prevention
We can't control everything, but as parents, we can take intentional steps to protect and guide our children.

The digital world can feel like a minefield, but with biblical wisdom and practical tools, we can navigate it well.

Setting our kids up to manage money successfully can be tricky. It means helping them find the sweet spot between two unhealthy extremes.

We don’t want our kids to focus on money too much and be motivated by greed. But we don’t want to see our kids caring about money too little either.

The words of Proverbs 13:7 seem especially relevant when it comes to credit cards. King Solomon says, “One man pretends to be rich, yet has nothing; another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.”

When we teach our kids to use credit cards wisely, we set them up for a life of financial stewardship that honours God and prospers everyone.

Want to get married someday?

Watch this first.

The newlywed years can be full of growing pains, but these trials prepare couples for a greater marriage together.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.” James 1:2-3

Take these nine things and apply them to your own marriage or send them to someone who is considering marriage!

Did you know that there are four types of meaningful conversations that are vital to a marriage?

Dr. Terri Orbuch studied nearly 400 couples over the span of 30 years and discovered that happy couples tend to spend 10 minutes each day in meaningful conversation.

Daily conversations imply a commitment to understanding your spouse’s inner life, hopes and fears, needs, and dreams. They show your spouse that they are the most important person in your life and that you want to know everything there is to know.

Take joy in rediscovering the person you’re married to through meaningful conversations – you may be surprised by what you find out!

Did your kids go to a Christian camp or VBS this summer?

After a week full of learning about God, many camps cannot follow up with campers as closely as they would like.

That’s why the time after camp is a crucial moment for parents to be ready to help build their kids up spiritually. Ask them what they learned. Talk them through their questions. Help them dig deeper into faith.

If your child made a friend at camp, foster that relationship. Invite them to attend your church or ask them to visit your home for a playdate.

Once you see the impact that the experience had on your child, you’ll be eager to sign them up for their next camp!
