LDS Missionaries: Why Not Welcome Them In?
For several years now, we’ve made time for the practice of inviting LDS missionaries into our home. In the beginning, our neighborhood was patrolled by elders (the male duos). After a few months, “the powers that be” moved boundary lines and now we’re patrolled by sisters (the female duos and trios). Together and separately (and…

Ready for the Great Commission and a Book Giveaway?
It’s time for a giveaway, friends. Violence, poverty, hate… this world is sinful and rough and lately the weight of it has been especially heavy for me. My reach feels small, my time feels short, and I know I’m not the only one that wants to be more present and effective for the Kingdom. Bonus…

Writing a Letter to Your Future Apologist Self
Defending the faith, encouraging others in their faith, watching the Lord bring others to faith; these are the things a Christian apologist yearns to do and see. From the moment we’re saved, sanctification is taking place in us as the Holy Spirit works on our weaknesses, molds us into someone more like Jesus, and gives…

Loving people well is hard to do. Loving people who don’t like you back is even more difficult. And yet, it was Jesus who said “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”…

8 Resources from the Women in Apologetics Conference
The Inaugural Women in Apologetics Conference took place in sunny South California this weekend, and I’ve emerged with a few recommended materials to pass along!

Snowed In: Christian Apologetics Playlist
Though it is an unusually pleasant Colorado Springs morning outside my window today, I understand that in much of the country, that is not the case.

4 ways to find motivation ON THE DAYS YOU JUST CAN’T EVEN
To be fair, I’m probably not the right person to be penning this post. In a given month, there are many days during which I “just can’t even” and don’t scrounge up sufficient motivation to accomplish much-needed tasks- mopping floors, raking the chicken run, and reading a book falls by the wayside. Cracking my Bible…

4 Years Later: THANK YOU!

Mom, the Skeptic: “The Authors of the Bible were Liars”
Last week, I wrote about Natasha Crain’s forthcoming book, and as I composed that post, I asked one of my sons what they would say if a skeptic asked “How do you know God exists?” He replied, “Let’s start with this, God made everything, right? But if people said He didn’t, it couldn’t just exist…

Talking with Your Kids about God: Pre-release Preview Part 1
Have you asked your kids “How do you know God exists?” lately? I’m not sure I’m brave enough to ask mine and share their answers here. I like to think my husband and I do a pretty good job of helping them think carefully about God… but we all know how kids have a way…

4 Faith Questions that Used to Make Us Sweat
There are some questions about the Christian faith that you’ve undoubtedly heard, wondered, and/or been asked. When the questions arose, it’s very likely that you either already had an answer, didn’t have an answer but felt confident you could find one, or were straight up stumped. All of us have been stumped at one time…

Book Review: Why Does God Allow Evil?
Friends, we recently finished reading Why Does God Allow Evil? by Dr. Clay Jones. It’s the fantastic culminating work of decades of teaching and research. Buy it. Read it. The end.

Is Jesus a Myth? “No” in 8 Links + 1
Is Jesus a myth? No. But that certainly doesn’t deter some people from claiming that he is. Thankfully, many theologians and apologists have responded to this assertion well. We’ve rounded up some great responses and videos that throttle and trash the claim that Jesus is not what Christians believe him to be.
