Eating Disorder Prevention: Preparation and Submission
Preparation and submission are two key elements of Christian parenting. We plan and strategize how to live faithfully to the Lord, and yet we know we are ultimately dependent upon Him for outcomes. We want to be able to control what happens; we want to keep our kids from sin, temptation, and suffering. There are things we can do to help our kids not develop an eating disorder, for example, but ultimately, we can’t devise fool-proof strategies that guarantee outcomes.

Regrets in Parenting and Bothering Jesus
Over the past year, I have dedicated much of my ministry work to parents. I have not sought to provide guidance on how to parent but rather to bring comfort for the many distressing emotions parents experience.

Three Reminders for Parents of Wayward Children
In an era when many are choosing not to have children, believers stand out as those who choose to fulfill the creation mandate to “be fruitful and multiply” (Gen. 1:28). When many see children as expensive inconveniences, we regard our children to be a blessing from God (Ps. 127). We have high hopes for our children.
