Be present, not perfect.

If you’re in the thick of sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, you’re not alone.

Parenting little ones is hard work, but it’s also holy work.

Take turns resting. Ask for help. Give yourself permission to not have it all together today.

Grace is enough for you and your family.

Love is more than a feeling; it’s a daily choice that shapes how we speak, listen, and show up for each other.
Let all that you do be done in love.

To keep a marriage strong, it isn’t just about how deeply you love. It’s also about how freely you forgive.

Forgiveness is hard. Pride gets in the way. Humility is tough. But choosing to apologize sooner and forgive more freely can transform the way you connect with your spouse.

Your relationship doesn’t need perfection. It needs grace.

Finding Healing After Betrayal Trauma

When a husband or boyfriend struggles with po*******hy or sexual addiction, the partner’s pain is real and deep. That’s why we created P.E.R.G.E. (Partner Encouragement Recovery Group Experience), a God-centered path to healing and restoration.

Through this program, women will find:
• A safe space to heal
• Guided recovery through the 12 steps
• Faith-centered support
• Connection and encouragement with others who understand

You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

The Power of Shared History in Marriage

One of the richest gifts you can share with your spouse isn’t material at all; it’s the story you’re writing together. From adventures and family milestones to challenges and crises, your shared history becomes the glue that binds you as “US.”

Dr. Dave & Donalyn Currie remind us that these memories, both the joyful and the difficult, are what make your marriage uniquely yours. The more you intentionally build, remember, and celebrate your shared history, the deeper your connection will grow.

Practical tip: Set aside time with your spouse to reflect on your journey, share highlights, revisit old photos, or reminisce about milestones. Each memory is a building block of intimacy.

Raising kids in a digital world is no small task.

Between social media, YouTube, and constant online access, technology is shaping our children’s mental health and faith more than ever before.

Here are a few reminders for navigating it wisely:

• Set clear screen-time boundaries & protect family time
• Have ongoing, honest conversations about online dangers
• Integrate faith into tech (Bible apps, worship, online discipleship tools)
• Model healthy tech habits yourself — kids copy what they see
• Stay prayerful & proactive, not panicked

Remember: our goal isn’t to remove technology… but to teach our kids how to use it with wisdom, safety, and faith.
