“Where I Act Like a Wife and She Acts Like a Husband” by Josh Taylor
Anyone who knows Kelli and I knows that I’m the talker and she’s the quiet one. Not by definition, but if you had to decide which of those title went to which, I’d be the talker and she’d be the quiet one. I’m a little more outgoing, a little more […]
Advice for New Parents from Jars of Clay
JFH (John DiBiase): Any advice for new parents? Charlie Lowell (Jars of Clay): Some advice a good friend, kind of counselor friend, told me a few years ago – and it’s not so much for your son’s age, but he said, “Always remember that your kids have a complex inner world […]
“Deliverance for Your Descendants” by J.M. Farro
As a parent, Proverbs 11:21 has always been near and dear to my heart. But when my son, John, and his wife were expecting my first grandchild, this promise from God became even more vital to me and my family. Scripture says: “The descendants of the righteous will be delivered.” […]

“Flasback: Off to the Hospital. First Triage?” by Amy DiBiase
It is hard to believe that just over 2 weeks ago, the little person who I now hold in my arms, was still nestled in my tummy safe and sound, coming to the end of a nine-month-long incubation. It was always very challenging for me to consider that when I […]
“Life Lessons from a Newborn” by John DiBiase
Well, as I type this, our little guy is officially twelve days old. Yes, time flies, but it’s also been one of the weirdest twelve days I’ve ever had. All kinds of changes have occurred with parenthood. For starters, we’ve probably had more (different) visitors in 12 days at our […]
