When we consider the magnitude of the overdose crisis, it’s imperative we consider what the Bible says about the use of drugs and alcohol.

Are you struggling this Mother's Day? Mother's Day can be challenging for Moms who don't feel they measure up. But that is the beauty of motherhood. No two moms are alike!

The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16-17 (ESV) Is your home absent of peace? Does one argument escalate into another? Is there one family member who seems to be the cause of all the chaos? Do you desire to disengage from the never-ending drama without detaching from the person altogether? Or maybe, you feel the only solution is to give the rel

This month’s guest blog is written by Barb Winters, a mother whose son struggled with a porn addiction. For anyone with an addicted loved one or for those who are in caregiver roles, self-care is essential. Barb offers help and hope in her message.) “For no one every hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.” Ephesians 5:29-30 ESV “What?!

“He wounds, but his hands make whole.” Job 5:18 (NKJV) “Lord, I don’t know how to pray. I don’t know what to ask for.” Overwhelming emotions clouded my mind; my thoughts were racing. I didn’t know what to ask for. I just knew I was falling apart. “Jesus, help me.” And so, my unraveling began.

“Shh!” I hear the Lord’s gentle rebuke as my urge to respond takes over my ability to reason. The better choice would be to stop talking and take a breath, but a compulsive need to offer my unsolicited advice to this difficult and unreasonable man-child of mine seems to control my frontal lobe. Perhaps, convincing him I am right and he is wrong is my drug of choice. I feel better when I speak my mind, even if I am being tuned out. But, there is no reasoning with a fool and, l

(This month's blog is written by guest writer Tracy Hagler, who shares her experience of keeping her faith in the middle of difficult circumstances.)

We often see an illusion of someone else’s life and not reality. We see the perfect mom, the perfect husband, the perfect kids, the perfect career, the perfect home, the perfect exercis

My own health issues and subsequent surgery, my son’s mental health breakdown, and grieving the death of my mother had the cumulative effect of leaving me feeling that all I really managed to do was tread water. As far as reaching any of my goals, sadly, it seemed all I really accomplished was wasting precious time, effort, and money

We all gathered around the table, each sharing a summary of the story that brought us through the door. Some were dealing with alcohol, others, drugs. When it was my turn to share, I explained one child fighting alcoholism but was unable to speak the truth of drug use in my other child’
