The reality is, with motherhood often comes loneliness and exhaustion.  I work with a lot of moms through WinShape Camps, and many of them feel that way, especially when they’re in the thick of challenging seasons with their children. Polls suggest that nearly all — between 80-90% — of new moms experience either periodic or permanent feelings of isolation. Some mothers only feel this way for a short while; others feel it for a very long time.

It was Peter who said, "Finally, all of you have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind." His words, however, are not always easy to live by. This kind of unity takes both intentionality and divine help from the Lord. If you're wondering how to handle difficult family relationships, here are five prayers to pray.

Dinosaurs are back and this time, they’re bigger, bloodier, and part of a dangerous mission to harvest their DNA. Here’s what discerning families should know before buying a ticket.

Death is part of life. Every living creature, from plants and trees to animals to human beings, eventually dies. The sooner we acknowledge that with our children, the better. This doesn't mean we shoehorn death into conversations, but we shouldn't shy away from the topic, no matter the child's age.

As spiritual mentors for Gen Z and beyond, we must lovingly and logically challenge this relativistic mindset because it cannot bear the weight of scrutiny. Feelings provide a faulty foundation. Though empathy for others is admirable, accepting only feelings as truth indicators contradicts Scripture.

Our children are under spiritual attack, but the enemy’s tactics are subtle. Learn vulnerable areas where young hearts and minds are being shaped, and how we can respond with grace and God's Word.

It's simple really, and I think sometimes we, as mothers, complicate it too much. Our sons do want to spend time with us, but we often expect them to adapt to our routines, interests, or schedules. Or, we assume they're okay with us showing up at their soccer or baseball games as "time together." Of course, in a way, it is time together. But this summer, challenge yourself to spend at least one or two afternoons or evenings doing something more strategic.

Don’t let summer silence your family’s faith. These devotions will draw your hearts back to God in the warmth of His Word.

It’s the struggle to feel seen, productive, it’s the constant worry you are doing something wrong, it’s the unending need for more and more patience, it’s the lack of understanding from those that aren’t living the same life, and the severe lack of societal appreciation for the effort and talent it takes to run a home well. Here's how to fight STAHM depression.

Just as adults have fears and worries, our children have them too. Being able to voice those cares and concerns and cast them on the One who made them and wants good things for their lives is a blessing for them before bed.
