Encouragement and Tools for the COVID-19 quarantine

By Christie Thomas 4 Comments

Hey friend, I know you’ve been flooded with COVID-19 emails, blog posts, and memes this year. I’m not here to spread any alarm (or toilet paper), but rather, some hope!

Moms can be spiritual leaders too!

Yes Mama, you can be a spiritual leader in your home

By Christie Thomas 3 Comments

By Christie Thomas 6 Comments

I didn’t realize until recently that Protestant prayer beads actually exist, but now they’re helping me grow my prayer life for the first time in a long time. The stresses of the day paraded through my brain. I could see each and every unmade decision, each possibility, each worry taking shape behind my closed eyelids. […]
