Being a dad of three kids that are five and under, I love children’s books. I especially love children’s books that teach my kids more about Jesus. Even more, I love children’s books that my kids stay engaged with and want to hear more of. Little Pilgrim’s Big Journey checks every box.
When we love someone, we learn about them. There's a desire to get to know that person. We want to know their likes and dislikes. We like to learn what makes them tick. That's what a real relationship is. It involves two people connecting. It isn't one sided; it is mutual…
Parenting is one of the most difficult tasks the Lord gives us. As the dad of a three and one year old, no one could prepare me for just how hard it truly is. I’m also confident that no one can truly prepare me for just how hard it will be as they get older. As parents we try our best, we learn on the fly, and we just pray that the Lord will make up for our sinfulness and shortcomings as we seek to love and raise the children he has entrusted to us…
I’m always looking for simple, gospel-focused books for my daughters. They are one and three so I need something that really boils things down to a simple level. That’s why I love the children’s books that The Good Book Company produces.
Two weeks ago we talked about embracing the awkward when it comes to discipling your kids, especially if they’re older and you’ve never done it before.

The guy was arguing that a.) the church is a people and not a place and b.) that parents should be the primary ones teaching their kids about God
My two year old daughter is so full of energy that by the time bedtime hits (7:30 pm) I am ready to crumple into bed and pass out myself…
You may know the name Ellie Holcomb, but mostly likely it’s not from her children’s books.
There are no perfect parents. We all know this, right? Parenting is so hard. I ask myself if I’m making the right decision about something involving my kids at least five times a day. I get frustrated with my kids at least 300 times a day.
Last Thursday, our seven week old daughter become inconsolable, very hot, and we could not get her calm for about an hour. After texting our pediatrician and calling the after hours nurse, we were told to head to a pediatric ER that was about an hour away.
Children require much responsibility. They are completely dependent on their parents. They depend on them for food, shelter, care, and love. Unfortunately, in the broken world we live in, not all parents are dependable.
