I often look at my adult kids now and wonder: If they knew some of my mistakes as a young mama, would they still like me? My kids seem to like me—or at least they humor me and make me think they do. (I’m fine with it either way; as…

What has soft edges and a hard center? The answer should be: Christians. But for some reason, there seems to be a huge divide forming between a few distinct, gospel-believing denominations and schools of theology. It’s either my way or… you’re stupid. And that’s okay when it comes to: Jesus…
