Does the digital world ever feel like a wildfire you’re trying to put out with a garden hose? We get it. Parenting in 2026 isn't just about making sure they eat their veggies or get to practice on time; it’s about navigating a world where algorithms are trying to disciple your children before you even finish your morning coffee.

It’s a mid-morning in Memphis, and if you’re like most of us, you’ve already felt the heat.

If you’ve ever sat in a church service and heard someone pray in a language you didn't recognize, you probably had a lot of questions. Is that biblical? Is it for everyone? Most importantly, is speaking in tongues still something God does today? Yes, speaking in tongues is a biblical gift that continues today. According to the Assemblies of God and the New Testament, it serves as the "initial physical evidence" of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, empowering believers for a dee

Think back to your own childhood summers. For many of us, the smell of grape juice, the sound of slightly out-of-tune choruses, and the sticky feeling of craft glue are more than just sensory memories: they are the building blocks of our faith. In a world that is shifting digitally at lightning speed, some might ask: Is Vacation Bible School still relevant in 2026? The data tells a staggering story. This summer, nearly 3 million children will walk through the doors of a churc

If you have been reading the headlines about "Gen Alpha" lately, you might feel a little bit of a knot in your stomach. We are often told that the youngest generation: those born since 2010: is the most secular, most disconnected, and most "post-Christian" group to ever walk the earth. As a parent, that is a heavy weight to carry. You want your children to know the peace of Jesus, but the world feels like it’s pulling them in a thousand other directions. But here is the truth

The key is shifting from mindless consumption to purpose-driven media choices that honor God and restore your soul. Hey friend, let's have an honest conversation tonight. Maybe you've been scrolling for hours. Maybe what you watched left you feeling emptier than before you pressed play. Or maybe you're just tired of the cons

If you have ever tucked your child into bed and wondered, “Am I doing enough?” you are not alone. Most Christian parents today carry a quiet weight of inadequacy. Between the rush of school schedules, the pull of digital screens, and the cultural shifts we see every time we open our phones, the task of passing on a deep, vibrant faith can feel impossible. We often look to the "experts", the youth pastors, the Sunday school curriculum, or the latest Christian influencers, hopi

If you are reading this while hiding in the pantry with a half-eaten granola bar just to get thirty seconds of silence, welcome. You’re our people. We know the feeling. You love Jesus. You love your kids. You want your kids to love Jesus. But by the time the sun goes down and the last shoe has been found, the last lunchbox packed, and the last “can I have a drink of water?” answered, your spiritual battery isn’t just low: it’s blinking red. The idea of leading a thirty-minute

For years, the headlines told us a different story. We were told that the pews would be empty, that the youngest generations had walked away for good, and that the "nones" were the only growing demographic in the spiritual landscape. But the data just dropped, and it has sent a shockwave through the American church.
