What Our Stay-at-Home Mom Taught Us about Human Dignity
Yesterday, Krystal Wilson reflected on the blessings and burdens of being a working mom. In this article at The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), Jill Waggoner and Allison Hucks reflect on the vocation of being a stay-at-home mother. They write,
It’s our prayer that like our mother, our lives would be marked by the often slow and laborious walk of faithfulness, service, humility and love—a life that Jesus first walked, and passed down to us.

Keith S. Whitfield: Culture and Discipleship
Keith Whitfield talks about culture, missions, spiritual formation and his new book Spirituality for the Sent in this interview for Outreach Magazine. He writes,
Every generation, the church is called to engage its culture with the gospel. This calling is not to a ministry style or philosophy.
