Book Review: Theological Fitness

August 24, 2015 by Melissa Kruger

It’s the end of summer and for many that means new routines and schedules. For me, it means it’s time to take into account one too many scoops of ice cream and the junk food I enjoyed while sitting on the beach. Next week, a group of friends are starting an exercise and nutrition plan. We know that together, […]

Beholding the King: Elisabeth Elliot

June 16, 2015 by Melissa Kruger

Yesterday morning brought the news of Elisabeth Elliot’s homecoming. As I read the report, tears filled my eyes, both from sadness and thanksgiving. I feel as though a mentor has slipped away, and yet, I rejoice that her rest has come. My first introduction to Elliot’s writing came in high school when a friend passed along […]

BECOMING Magazine: Interview with Editor Shannon Basso

June 3, 2015 by Melissa Kruger

This past fall, Shannon Basso and I chatted via email and the phone about her upcoming project, BECOMING magazine. Her passion for encouraging women in the Lord is contagious and I welcomed the opportunity to get to be a part of the inaugural issue. BECOMING launches this week, so I asked Shannon if she’d do an interview […]

Summer Reading Ideas

May 20, 2015 by Melissa Kruger

Our Women’s Care Team is one of the greatest joys of getting to work at my church. Last fall, in preparation for our women’s retreat, they gave me a list of some of their favorite books, along with the reasons they enjoyed them. I thought their picks might provide a helpful list for summer reading. […]

Parenting with a Double Standard

April 11, 2015 by Melissa Kruger

Years ago I attended a parenting class focused on encouraging obedience in our homes. The following general expectations were highlighted: Obedience should be immediate. Obedience should be complete. Obedience should be with a joyful attitude. I sat in the classroom staring at the board in contemplative silence. Truthfully, I wasn’t thinking about my children’s obedience. […]

Just got this special delivery from my favorite professor!🎉🎉🎉
Best kind of Friday evening.💛
As news broke last week about Ravi Zacharias’s spiritual and sexual abuse of women, I read the various accounts with profound sadness for those most directly affected by his misconduct. The betrayal, loneliness, fear, and shame women experienced because of his sinful actions are in complete opposition to the tender shepherding care Jesus extended to women. Jesus bound up wounds, Zacharias inflicted them.
Today, I interview my good friend and fellow TGC editor @quina_aragon about her new children’s book, Love Gave: A Story of God’s Greatest Gift. I absolutely loved Quina’s first book, Love Made, and this new book is its poetic and powerful continuation. Love Gave releases on February 2nd, but you can pre-order it today and receive a free audio download of Quina beautifully performing the book at LoveGaveBook.com!
Contentment is a spiritual battle won only by God’s strength in us, not a different set of circumstances.
My friend @vaneetharisner ‘s book is coming out next week! 🎉
My favorite thing my husband gave me for Christmas is a new journal from @growleyleather and a day to go and spend time by myself—to rest, reflect, and be still (swipe to the end to see the new journal…I love it!).
The most wonderful message the world has ever heard! 🕊
Thankful to have everyone home.💛🎄🏡
