It's hard to believe we've been podcasting for a year! Our show, Making Biblical Family Life Practical, has been great fun! We've talked about raising boys, homeschooling when you feel like a failure, about how men can love their wives better, family businesses, staying Christian in college, and lots of other stuff relevant to family like yours and ours. Did…
Hey friends, what do you think about when you think about the holidays? Family, traditions, food, truth. God's gifts. Memories. So much good stuff. So many of our memories involve food and family and stories - true stories. That's one reason we put together our Thanksgiving book, We Gather Together, and our Christmas book, Christ-Centered…
Over the years, our six boys tried basketball, soccer, baseball, and finally football – which is where most of them settled in. Along the way we learned a few things that make a big difference in the experience for your kids and for the whole family. First, understand sports and competition are not un-Christian! Paul…
Here's what I struggle with: How do I prepare my young boys in case they are exposed to porn without destroying their innocence? It is a struggle at young ages, but it’s so important. A mom recently told us she discovered her 8 or 9 year old was getting up in the middle of the…

We were very surprised to find that many parents who are teaching courtship to their children are expecting (and telling their children!) that there will only be one suitor in their future. We see some real problems with this. Imagine this: Marc has a female friend he's known for years. Recently, he's begun to realize what…
Hal often says that boys seem especially tempted by anger, lust, and laziness. And if you think about it, it makes sense--those sins are connected to some of the most important roles men have as protectors, husbands, and providers. So, how can you overcome their natural laziness? How can you help your son become diligent? Sometimes…
We've said some critical things about the way the courtship model of finding a mate is generally carried out, but one good thing that has come out of it is the recognition that courtship and marriage involves more than two people, it involves two families. We're always amused when we hear someone say, "I'm marrying her,…
"Hey, I've got some unexpected time free. Want to meet for coffee?" an adult young man texts an adult female friend. "I'm not comfortable meeting guys like that. You need to talk to my father," is the reply. These two are on a different wavelength. Let's peek into their heads for a moment. (No, we…
