What Kind of Air Are You Breathing?

By LeAnne Parsons | August 12, 2026 |

As I write this from Minnesota, we are experiencing some of the worst air quality in the world. Wildfire smoke has settled over much of the state, the sky has that strange hazy look to it, and we’re being encouraged to limit our time outside because the air simply isn’t healthy right now. I’ve been noticing how different it feels,…

When Doing the “Right” Thing Leaves You Feeling Confused and Inadequate

By Susan King | August 5, 2026 |

Hello Friends! This summer has brought more than just stifling heat to West Michigan. For several days, the smoke from far-off wildfires drifted into my area. The sky looked hazy, the sun struggled to shine through, and the air quality index deemed the conditions hazardous. For several days, people were urged to stay indoors. What should have been life-giving had…

Emotionally Strong, Emotionally Alone: Surviving an Immature Marriage

By Leslie Vernick | July 29, 2026 |

Morning friend, It’s been a tough month. Life isn’t always easy, nor can we always figure out why things are happening the way they are. Since creation, when Satan tempted Adam and Eve, we’ve craved knowledge above trusting God. We want to know why something is happening. We want to know what God is up to, or why he doesn’t…

Am I Crazy, or Is He Controlling?

It’s been an unusual season here at LV & Co. We’re a small team and there’s been a lot of life happening for everyone. We’re all glad to be part of this ministry, and we all have ups and downs.

I’ve Wasted My Life On My Husband; How Can I Look Forward To The Future?

By Susan King | July 8, 2026 |

Hi, friends! This time of year reminds me that every meaningful choice has a cost. Here in the USA, July brings fireworks, backyard cookouts, parades, and red, white, and blue everywhere we look. Wherever you live, freedom is something we all long for. And freedom is rarely free. It asks us to let go of something in order to take…

What Does a Healthy Christian Marriage Look Like?

By Leslie Vernick | July 1, 2026 |

Morning friend, We just concluded our Moving Beyond Insecurity Coaching Week. It was amazing. So many breakthroughs and takeaways women gained in just one week. God longs to heal our heart, our mind, and our relationships. And, most of the time, he doesn’t do it instantly. Instead, he invites our cooperation, our willingness, and our commitment to learn what we…

Don’t Pack Your Fears

By LeAnne Parsons | June 24, 2026 |

Hello Friends, It feels good to be sitting down to write again. The last time I wrote in this space, I was preparing to leave on sabbatical to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain on a pilgrimage. My backpack was spread across the guest room bed, packing cubes scattered everywhere, and my mind was busy trying to think of…

What If Saving a Marriage Isn’t Your Job Alone?

Hello again friends! As we move into June and warmer weather I’ve been thinking of shedding extra layers and I don’t mean just clothes. I mean the heavy things we carry that we were never meant to hold – especially in our marriages. We have all felt the pressure to do a little better, try a little harder, be more…
