- As a “mom of many,” I sometimes get asked about my views on birth control. Here’s my favorite article on the subject, written by Douglas Wilson. (A sample quote: “A man can have a high view of apple trees and still not plant them a foot and a half apart in his orchard.”)
- And the other question most-often asked is my thoughts on parenting. My favorite book on the subject is Raising Godly Tomatoes, by Elizabeth Krueger. Here’s the central idea.
- If any Christian adult, man or woman, asked me for the most helpful article about sex, I would point them here: THE MEANING OF SEX by Jonathan Leeman — It’s long, but it is a very thoughtful presentation of a biblical, Christian understanding of why God made sex, and a helpful drawing out of many of the lessons and blessings of marital intimacy. This is a foundational piece that can help provide a good framework for thinking biblically about sex.
- If I was asked about the most helpful video teaching about sex, I would point them here: MARRIAGE IN GOSPEL FOCUS – I LOVE this WONDERFUL talk by Tim & Kathy Keller (I recommend each of their parts for any Christian to hear!) — This talk touches on culture & its relationship to sex, underlying beliefs of our culture, gender roles within marriage, and how the Bible & specifically the Gospel can help resolve culturally harmful ideas about sex. [Their talk is based on this book.]
- Since 2009, we’ve sponsored a child through Rafiki Foundation. This ministry cares for orphans and widows, and does so with a great amount of spiritual purposefulness as well as financial transparency and efficiency. We highly recommend it if you’re seeking a way to be involved in orphan care.
