As a woman, what’s your job in your home? Give me your answer in 3, 2, 1 . . . I know it probably didn’t take you three seconds to answer that simple question. In fact, I bet in those three seconds you came up with a list something lik...

I'm on a quest to inspire young women to live lives of radical faith. I want their faith in Jesus to make a difference in the way they live. I want it to change how they see the world. I want them to be willing to take risks for the Kingdom. But I've...

I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2). There are all kinds of little "g" gospels. These are messages we preach to ourselves citing the (false) reasons God will surely love and accept us. There's t...

Yesterday, I wrote about God's warning against spiritual envy from Jude 12–13. While that passage hit me hard, it felt like a walk in the park compared to what I read next. Jude 14–15 reads, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of...

You know these are good things—kingdom building things—and yet, somewhere deep down you feel something other than excitement, joy, and the need to celebrate. You feel something a lot like envy: A friend of yours is asked to be the speak...

Yesterday I wrote about the influx of readers at LiesYoungWomenBelieve.com who are struggling with porn. I urged you to get involved by talking about this difficult issue with the young women in your life. But I know those won't be easy conversation...

After reading Erin's post, catch Yvonne Welch's story, "Healing From Bitterness," today through Wednesday on Revive Our Hearts. As I write these words, I am nine months pregnant. Those of you who have been there know that is a very "fleshy" season o...

Fact: You are either heading out of the wilderness, or you are heading into it. My pastor, Tim Cook, recently preached a killer sermon about Jesus’ time in the wilderness. I was struck by his description of the wilderness where Jesus was led...

As I read the Gospels, one fact is undeniable to me—Jesus valued people. Over and over He allowed Himself to be stopped, inconvenienced, and used by the people around Him. There was the time He retreated to a mountain hideout for some much n...

“Loose lips sink ships.” They also have a way of sinking entire families. Don’t believe me? Just ask Zeresh or Potiphar’s wife or the many wives of Solomon. These were wives who did not hold their tongues. They are wives wh...

I had a toddler at home and a baby in my belly. Most days I was crippled by pregnancy symptoms that made it difficult to put one foot in front of the other. Can you think of a time when your circumstances were tough? Freeze-frame that memory in you...

Catch “Encouraging Your Husband to Lead” today on Revive Our Hearts for a very practical discussion about the ways wives can encourage strength and leadership in their husbands. Inspired by a great series written by True Woman’s ...

From baseball season to fantasy football leagues, sports are tightly woven into the fabric of our culture. Since this is a blog for women, I may not be writing to many die-hard sports fans or professional players, but that doesn’t necessarily ...

There’s not a potted plant pretty enough to say all that needs to be said to you. There’s not a Hallmark card sweet enough to sum up our gratitude. Mommas, you are the warriors of our world. You are equal parts soft and strong. You are...

I pen these words a few days after a bomber took out an eight-year-old as he waited for his dad to cross the finish line of the Boston marathon. There’s not a single day I drop my son off at preschool that I don’t think about Sandy Hook ...

Yesterday, I began a dialogue about so-called "same-sex marriage" by examining the facts of two cases currently being debated in the Supreme Court. You likely didn’t need to be reminded this is an important issue, but let’s take a hard loo...

I’m a news junkie. Ever since my first “real” job as a newspaper reporter, I’ve had an insatiable craving for the news. I can’t get enough of it. I want my finger firmly planted on the pulse of what’s happening . . ...

Oh, the Exodus. What a strange and troublesome blot on the story of God’s people . . .Every time I read about how God delivered His people from slavery with dramatic interventions like plagues and the parting of the Red Sea I am amazed. But with...
