What If Your Sexuality Was Your Evangelism?

Oct 10, 2016 | Christian Womanhood, Sexuality, Singleness

Purity has a cost: It is uncomfortable, unpopular, and difficult at times. Purity is why I no longer wear leggings as pants, don’t watch many TV shows, and rarely read fiction. I don’t do these things because they are inherently evil. I made these choices as I grew in spiritual maturity. The closer I press to the heart of God, the less I think of my Christian “liberty” and the more seriously I take my Christian responsibility.

How Virginity Affects Your Marriage

Oct 3, 2016 | Christian Womanhood, Dating & Marriage, Sexuality

The day my husband confessed his sexual history to me, I sat quietly as he told me the truth. I wasn’t shocked. But I knew that – going forward – we’d need to work on our relationship in ways others would not.

How to Stay Productive With an Inconsistent Schedule

Sep 20, 2016 | Christian Womanhood, Productivity

For the last five years my life has been ruled by an inconsistent schedule. Four of those years my own schedule rotated between first, second, and third shifts, with weekends added on occasion. When I married Josh, the schedule became even worse. We never knew when he’d get off work each day.

5 Ways Homeschooling Equips Students for Life

Sep 5, 2016 | Christian Womanhood

As a homeschool grad, homeschool counselor and future homeschool mom (counting the years!), this is my area of expertise. If you’re deciding whether to homeschool through high school or whether to homeschool at all, I hope this article relieves some of your fears and gives you the “push” you need.

Five Keys for Productive Bible Study

Aug 17, 2016 | Christian Life & Theology, Christian Womanhood, Productivity

As I wrapped up last night's "Top 10 Productivity Tips" video on my Facebook page, I was struck that these tips are just as applicable to Bible study. How many of us struggle to focus during a devotional time? I know I have! Many of us get bored with God's Word and...

What Does Trusting God With Your Singleness Really Look Like?

Aug 16, 2016 | Christian Womanhood, Singleness

In all these conversations about singleness, we keep coming back to the same point: Trust God. That's great in theory, but what does it look like in daily life? Singleness is not a problem, but it is a season of trial. Designed for relationships, our sexuality is part...

The Problem With “Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner”

May 26, 2016 | Christian Life & Theology, Christian Womanhood

Using “hate the sin” as a license for cruelty defeats the purpose of proclaiming truth. The gospel needs no help causing division; it is foolishness to those who reject it (1 Cor. 1:22-24). Because the gospel will divide based on its exclusive nature, our job is not to further that division but to simply love the Lord our God with all our hearts (emotions), souls (being), minds (thoughts), and strength (effort).

To the Girl About to Become a Woman

Mar 8, 2016 | Christian Womanhood, Singleness

This is a guest post by Daniel Klewel. This letter is one he wrote to his nieces. Daniel thought it could encourage other young women, and I agree with him! He has some great things to say about hope and identity. Enjoy! You were on my mind this morning, so I...

How I Left Legalism Without Leaving God

Jan 28, 2016 | Christian Life & Theology, Christian Womanhood, Singleness

I'm a product of "purity culture". I wore the ring, read the books, and didn't date in high school. I could tell you anything you wanted to know about courtship. I was immersed in the culture through my teen years, as a student and a leader within the movement. I...

Why My Daughter’s Right to Life Trumps My Right to Choose

Nov 20, 2015 | Christian Life & Theology, Christian Womanhood, Sexuality

Scandal.

That’s what it is, not just what it’s called.

And they knew it would be, when they wrote that episode: the one where a child’s life is taken to boost viewer ratings or cause a ruckus across the internet for a few days. They knew that’s how it would go when they wrote an abortion scene. #Istandwithplannedparenthood, right? It’s just a show, right?

But it’s not.
