Your feelings are valid—however—we do not determine truth by what we feel. The world would have us believe there are as many “truths” as there are people on the planet. That’s crazy! Truth is true regardless of what we think, feel, or perceive. Truth is more sound than science—although science often supports truth. Scientific results can reflect human error, faulty...

You never walk alone—even when you **feel** all alone…. Jesus is with you, and now we, too, are here to walk with you… (”Jesus” with skin on….)I love this song, however I always find myself wishing it was written from the Father’s voice and perspective. That would be SO much more profound and powerful! Still, this song provides wonderful reminders...

That which you give is that which you are or will become. Therefore, “live a life of giving love, and you will have love. Live a life of giving of your possessions (or yourself), and you will be rich. Live a life of blessing others, and you always will be blessed.” —Jonathan Cahn, The Book of Mysteries, Day 140 How...

It’s not about you; it’s about Him. It’s not even about your child. It’s about His plans. His purposes. His great love for you. It’s all about Him. Trust Him. He’s got you. He’s got them. He’s got this. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your...

“God brings us into meaningful death with him not through ease but through difficulty. It is tears, not smiles, that form the anvil on which solid joy in God is forged. We thank God for the mountaintop experiences with him. But it is in the valley where we find him nearest and dearest to us.”- Dane Ortlund It’s okay if...

When people ask what Uncommon Love is about…. Our passion and expertise are for Christian parents of LGBTQ-identifying kids of any age. You can love them unconditionally and yet NOT affirm their lifestyle. We strive to love them like Jesus—with compassionate understanding for the struggler but without compromising God’s Word, His Truth, or our own identities as children of the...

Don’t tell until you listen. Ask caring, thoughtful (never “loaded”) questions. LISTEN for the response. Listen with your ears. Listen with your eyes. OBSERVE body language. Make eye contact. (Make sure your face is communicating love and concern—not judgement or anger and your body language is open and relaxed.) Listen before you tell. Seek to understand before being understood. Communicate...

“God says, “Rebuild the road! Clear away the rocks and stones so my people can return from captivity.” Isaiah 57:14 (NLT) Who is God speaking to here? Who is He speaking about? Why? What’s the point of this instruction? How should we respond?God is speaking to His already repentant children, about His children who are still living in sin and...

Resurrection doesn’t merely apply to the resurrection on the last day; it may also be the resurrection of something that has died, been lost, forfeited, or hidden. The most beautiful resurrection is the life of a prodigal who has returned to the Father. I was once a prodigal. I had given God the middle finger and decided to live life...

I don’t know about you, but I have some pretty big things in my life over which I am powerless to change–most significantly things I did or didn’t do in the past that have cost those I love dearly. Hindsight is a cruel bedfellow which never stops feeding the monster of Regret. But God…! I am SO incredibly grateful that...
