This book is about the various places and ways that uncertainty shows up for parents who, having left or altered the faith they once knew, now must decide what to give their kids. It’s about church attendance, Bible memorization, school choices, and sex talks. It’s about forging new paths in racial justice and creation care while the intractable voices in your head call you a pagan Marxist for doing so.

Penny Baker is coping. Just about. Three kids, one dog, one lovely but sometimes oblivious husband. Tick, tick tick. She is even managing to hold her own among the competitive school mums - if you don't look too closely. But when she finds herself also caring for her elderly mother, diagnosed with dementia, the household is thrown into disarray and Penny finds herself stretched to breaking point trying to meet everyone's needs. Can she make the new family situation work? And is there any chance of finding some space in it all for herself?

It seems we have become a nation of people who are offended by everything but sin. What is happening to our country is simple to explain but sad to observe: We are seeing what a culture of sin can do to a country. Within the problem is the solution: Biblical morality reestablished in America by an uprising of God’s people standing for righteousness will bring God’s forgiveness and our healing.

Many people believe they don’t need the local church. They are like my friend, Jim, who prayed the “sinner’s prayer.” I had been witnessing to Jim for a long time, and he now was a Christian—or so I thought. Over the months, I noticed that Jim did not like to attend church, telling me that he was very private and didn’t like to share his life with others. After many months, I felt the need to challenge his individualistic thinking. I said to him, “Those who know Jesus are willing to have others hold them accountable. They don’t hold on to a privatized religion and their ...

Leaders often bear the weight of the church on their shoulders. But have we made leadership into something it was never meant to be? Most of us are familiar with Atlas, the mythological Greek figure condemned to hold up the heavens.

In an era plagued by the fall of influential pastors, it’s time to reconsider our fundamental understanding and application of leadership. The Atlas Factor sheds light on the tragic mistake of replacing the God-ordained ...

God does big things through small groups: He heals, unifies, encourages, and equips. Christ trained his twelve apostles in a small group. Paul and Barnabas were called to international missions while participating in a small group (Acts 13:1-3). Essentially, all believers owe something to those initial small groups, and many of us have experienced great blessing through contemporary ones. God does big things through small groups, and that’s why we participate in them and aim to lead them. In this study, we will look at the WHY of small group leadership. Why should we participate in and ...
