Ever heard the phrase, “Do as I say, not as I do”? Most of us grew up with some version of it—but our kids never really bought it. Ask any teenager what bugs them most about adults, and you’ll get an earful about hypocrisy. Kids have a built-in lie detector, especially when it comes to [...]
If you’ve been in church ministry, parented teens, or simply tried to keep your family rooted in faith, you’ve probably heard the question before: Where did everybody go?

But here’s the tough reality: statistics show that second [...]
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re a guy who loves his wife but realizes you’ve let her down—maybe in ways you never saw coming.
