How to Make Your Teenager Love Jesus

"How do I make my teenager love Jesus?" This was a question I received recently from a mom. She reached out to me and was desperate for answers. “He goes with us to church and is fine going to his youth group, but when I try to talk to him about faith he seems so disinterested.” How can she light a fire in the spiritual life of her child?

The Fragrance of Fall – 30 Days of Fall Devotions

Fall. It's a season that colors the world and has a smell all its own. The fragrance of fall  is an intoxicating mix of simmering cinnamon sticks and cloves on my stovetop, or the heady scent of bubbling apple cobbler baking. My sister, Amy, was visiting a few weeks ago and we were browsing through boutiques downtown when I handed her a yummy … [Read more...]
