About one year ago, the Holy Spirit began to speak to me to write a curriculum for kids’ church about gender identity. When I grew up, there was an understanding that all adults had. You didn’t talk to kids about some things, but the culture has changed. Today in many of our schools, teachers are […]

How to talk to kids about tragedy

It’s hard to believe.   Another school shooting.  19 Children and 2 Adults were killed at an Elementary School in Texas. My heart is broken for the parents who lost kids today.
