When Current and Future Trauma Feels More Terrifying Than Past Suffering: Faith Based Approaches to Challenges
Hello, lovely friends! Can you believe it is finally Spring? We are moving into sunshine, warmer weather, bird songs, spring peepers and blooming flowers.

Stronger Than the Storm Even When the Heart Breaks
Last month, as I laced up my shoes for the 60-mile breast cancer walk in San Diego, I had no idea how much the weather would mirror the inner storms so many of us are walking through.

What Is a Godly Wife Supposed to Do?
I just returned from a busy week of work travel. I love meeting our CONQUER sisters when I travel and talking one-on-one with so many women who are freshly learning that they are co-equal image-bearers. That they are not less-than and their purpose is not to prop up dysfunctional, foolish, immature, or wicked men, even if that man is their…
