Here are 7 different locations where you can have fun and serious heart-to-heart conversations with your kids about Jesus.

How Important Is Exercise For A Healthy Christian Family?

As Christians, we can dig into many books and sermons to exercise our brain. Spiritual growth through reading the Bible and prayer are foundational to live a Christian life. Physical exercise, although not as important as Spiritual matters, is extremely beneficial in maintaining a healthy body as well. If you can train your brain, why not train your own body too? Timothy affirms this by saying, “For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” (1Timothy 4:8) So, what are “some” of the values of exercising?

Top 10 Christian Songs From Movies

Everyone has that one movie, that one scene, that just gets them. Maybe it makes you bawl like a baby (If you ask my husband he would say this is my go-to reaction.
