Is My Marriage Destructive?

By Leslie Vernick | January 14, 2026 |

Morning friend, I’ve begun this year trying to practice something new. I’ll share it with you; maybe it will be helpful. Here’s the analogy. If you try to fill a small jar with 3 large unshelled walnuts and a cup of rice, success depends on the order you fill the jar. If you start with the rice, it will be…

His Drinking Is Destroying Our Marriage. Help.

By Leslie Vernick | June 4, 2025 |

Morning friend, I’ve had an amazing trip in Italy staying in Assisi and finishing up in Rome. This was a bucket list trip with my sister, where we took time to “be still and know that He is God.” Each morning we sat in quiet stillness, walked in beauty slowly and thoughtfully, met the most amazing people, had profound spiritual…

Happy Holidays, my friends! Have you ever been given an unexpected gift that you really didn’t want? This month you may be looking to return some gifts or exchange them for things you like better.

Is Porn Use Abuse?

By Susan King | April 3, 2024 |

Hello, Friends! I live near my state’s only professional ballet company and I spent Saturday evening enjoying the latest show. Two weeks ago, I was invited into the studio to watch a rehearsal for that show with a few other lucky patrons. At that time, the dancers had only undergone 4 days of rehearsal. That up-close, behind-the-scenes look into the…

How Do You Honor a Spouse Who Behaves Dishonorably?

By Leslie Vernick | November 22, 2023 |

Morning friends, Thank you for your prayers and concerns about my spider bite. I did get some medication and the wound is better but I think the strong antibiotics are now troubling my stomach. Hopefully, that is what it is, and as I finish up the meds, that will go away.  Thanksgiving is this week, but I always start anticipating…

How Do I Center Myself in God?

By Leslie Vernick | September 20, 2023 |

Hi friend,  I’m traveling for two weeks to Nashville for the AACC conference, Canada, and then Chicago. I’m having some computer problems (and you know me and tech), so couldn’t write a new blog for this week.  But a chronic problem in growing our spiritual life and our emotional and mental health is the lies we’ve been told, especially about…

Hello Friends, March is one of my favorite months for this reason- It is the only month on our yearly calendar that gives us a call to action. March. Oftentimes, it can be scary to take action and assume responsibility for your one precious life. You are not alone my friend. I am so grateful to be in community with…

How Do I Stop Reacting When He Triggers Me?

By Leslie Vernick | January 25, 2023 |

Morning friend, This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak at a Good Boundaries and Goodbyes intensive with Lysa Terkeurst and her team. It was a wonderful weekend, seeing women come in feeling hopeless and depleted and leave feeling deeply connected to God, connected to other women, and connected to themselves. I love seeing God at work reviving the…
