Set Up for Failure / Authoritarian Parenting

Lately I’ve been mulling over the thought or concept of how fundie families set their children up for failure. I can’t speak to a wider or societal understanding of the concept, but I can speak to my own experiences. Much of my criticism comes from how children in fundamentalism are instructed to deal with authority figures. More specifically, how children are taught blind obedience to authority…

A Godly Man’s Superpower

Godly women can use their God-given superpower to unlock the potential of the men in their lives. Then it’s up to godly men to use their God-given superpower to steward this unlocked potential. It’s God’s delight when men and women do this!

This chapter lists what is possible when a woman is fully…

Do or Do Not, There is no try

I think I need to make a plaque or something with this inscription because it really does seem to fit this season we are in around here. This can be applied to so many areas of our lives and to our parenting journeys… trust me I know about parenting challenges. I hear these things so many times from my kids… I tried but I couldn’t do it. I did make changes in my attitude but no one…

Plot: 6A – Ruthless Tommy: Oh my god, I’ll explain in the breakdown. 6B – Moose Country: Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil try to track down a moose in Tommy’s backyard. Breakdown: 6A – Ruthless Tommy: Fucking hell. Whose bright idea was this? This episode is absolutely insane. And not in a good way. It’s insane in a fucking horrifying way. In a terrifying “Call CPS. I’ve had it. I’m not kidding.…

God Uses Bible Teachers to Help Us Grow Spiritually

Almost anyone can be used by the Lord to communicate divine revelation. Even a jackass can be the mouthpiece of God (Num 22:28-30). Biblically, Christians are directed to “teach and admonish one another” (Col 3:16), which shows that all believers can teach and counsel one another with the Word of God. Of course, this assumes they’ve been “constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the…

From One Parent to Another

Children are a blessing. How do you share your relationship to the Lord with them?

As a Father Himself, God has a special place in His heart for parents. That’s why He sprinkles promises throughout His Word to make parent’s lives easier. One of the most helpful promises in all of Scripture is found in Psalm 37:25-26: “Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread. The godly always give generous loans to others,…

I Miss The Man Who Bore My Anger

I miss the man who bore my anger Who let me rage and rant without pause Who let me expel those poisonous feelings Who let me scream out loud, just because. I miss the man who was my rock Who held the fort when my storm erupted Who could handle every tumultuous outburst Who accepted me for who I am, even at my worst. I miss the man who just let me be me Who let my emotions run free, kept…

Build Your House on the Rock

Introduction This week has been particularly challenging for my younger daughter. She is going through an extremely difficult situation in her life right now. As her dad, it hurts me deeply to see her suffering. I wish I could take away her pain and bear it myself. Unfortunately, I can’t. All I can do is be there for her, offering support and comfort from afar (for now) since I moved to Florida…

Things I've Learned; Patience

Things I’ve learned walking this path with dad. My dad, for those who do not know, has dementia brought on by a traumatic brain injury. He has good days and not so good days. Whether the day is good or bad, I am learning much from this journey. You can never have too much patience. You think you are struggling? Try stepping in their shoes. Try understanding how everything they once knew and…

Was it a Choice?

The pressure fundamentalist children and college age adults face in fundamentalism. And the how family and faith can influence your choices.

I’d like to go back and revisit a couple of ideas that I’ve touched on in the past. I had someone reach out to me and point me towards a recent newspaper article about Ballerina Farms.1 She also commented that a good subject line for a potential post would be “Fundamentalism and the Illusion of Choice.”2 If you haven’t read the The Times article it discusses “Ballerina Farms” and the life of the…

The Heart of a Parent by Nancy J. Farrier

“Then [King David} was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: “O my son Absalom—my son, my son Absalom—if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!” 2 Samuel 18:33 What did David’s son, Absalom, do that caused David such great distress? If you recall, there were several events that led to this scene. Absalom killed his…

National Down Syndrome Awareness Day and THM Tiramisu

It’s crazy sock day!!! I don’t have on my crazy socks but I am rocking my #downsyndromeawareness shirt! Most of the kiddos have on some crazy socks to show their support for their extra special siblings and the other extra special people who were gifted with an extra chromosome. I’ll admit that when we first got the news it was unexpected and I was upset, terrified, and a bit nervous but we had…

Inanimate Agency

Rose’s Red Boots By Maura Finn Illustrated by Karen Erasmus New Frontier Publishing, 2018 Looking at the earth from space, some wit quipped years ago, aliens might be forgiven for thinking cars ruled the world. They clog the landscape, not us. They make us use them, not the other way round. We are merely their slaves doing their bidding, moving them from place to place instead of simply…

An Expression of Love

How can you make sure your children recognize the love behind your discipline?

Like a loving parent who disciplines his child, God often disciplines King David and the Israelites under his rule. In 1 Chronicle 13, we see that God disciplined His people- even at the expense of Uzzah’s life – because the people had not respected God enough to honor His instructions on how to move the ark. While it may seem harsh, we know that discipline is an expression of love. In Hebrews…
