Black lives matter. Our world is hurting. I stand in solidarity with people of color and join the fight to advocate for true equality. I have been listening and I promise to continue to listen. And now I have something to add to the conversation. This is a message for followers of Jesus. Believers, the …
I’m a third semester seminary student so by now, I know ALL the THINGS about the Bible. (Or maybe not so much!) But I have learned a few things since I started eight months ago and when it comes to Bible questions, I pick Dr. Irving’s brain on the regular. I realize that most regular …
How can Christians build a strong, biblical worldview when it comes to abortion and pro-life vs. pro-choice issues? The primary resource you should check is your Bible! God has a lot to say to us about His regard for life, but you won’t know if you don’t read it! Daily time in the Word is …
I’ve got a pillow on my bed from Goods and Better that says “Keep Saying Yes”. Last Christmas, Chris really built up the gift he bought me, telling me he knew it would make me cry. But he was wrong. When I opened it, I smiled and said thank you, but I didn’t cry. I …
Our kids can thrive in public school if we will take the time to invest in them before and while they’re there.
The last few weeks have been a whirlwind! Our lives have been “flipped, turned upside down”, but (no surprise!) God has been so good to us through it all.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. I could go on and on about foster care and why you absolutely, positively should do it. Think you’re too old? Nope. Think you’re too busy? Hardly. Think you could never love a baby and let them go? You’re wrong about that. That baby needs someone who will love them so much that her heart breaks when he leaves.
The agony of the cross had far less to do with the nails in Jesus’ hands and feet than the torture he felt when the sin of all creation crushed him.
The Irving family verse is Isaiah 26:8. We know that when you commit to saying “Yes, Lord” to anything God asks of you, you’ve gotta be ready for God to ask you to do some really wild things! We thought maybe the wildest thing He’d ask us to do would be to move 4,000 miles …
It’s Theology Thursday at The Strong Home! On Theology Thursdays we’ll be digging deep into divine things. Don’t let that scare you away! These deep digs won’t be boring or overwhelming. My goal is to give you some practical theology to think about as you work hard to build your strong home. Let’s dig. Jesus …
It’s been a while since you’ve had a peek into our week at The Strong Home! We took it easy with homeschool this week and had a bit of a pre-Spring Break. My favorite part of homeschool – I make the rules! My favorite way to start the week is by going to church on …
