by Maddie Brouwer | Feb 18, 2026 | Blog

Every year around late winter, I start noticing the same questions pop up: “What is Lent again?” “Am I supposed to give up chocolate?” “Does this still count if I already broke it on day three?” I’ll be honest. For a long...

by Maddie Brouwer | Feb 11, 2026 | Blog

We use the word love for almost everything. I love my family. I love my friends. I love coffee. I love a good Netflix series. But when I slow down and really think about it, those loves don’t all mean the same thing, even though we use the same word for each of...

When Love Feels Impossible: One Couple’s Story of Marriage Restoration Through Re|engage

by Maddie Brouwer | Feb 4, 2026 | Blog

We can all agree that some people are difficult to love, and sometimes life can dull our feelings for those we have loved greatly. Yet God commands us to love one another with our actions, not just our feelings. And we cannot do that without intentionality. They were...

What the Bible Means by Being Equally Yoked in Marriage (and Why it Matters This Valentine’s Day)

by Maddie Brouwer | Jan 21, 2026 | Blog

As Valentine’s Day approaches, conversations about love, marriage, and relationships tend to surface (both the joyful and the complicated ones). For many couples, this season brings reflection: Are we growing together? Are we aligned spiritually? Are we building...
Biblical Rest + Burnout: Why Sabbath Matters More Than Your To-Do List

Biblical Rest + Burnout: Why Sabbath Matters More Than Your To-Do List

by Maddie Brouwer | Jan 14, 2026 | Blog

A new year often begins with ambition. We set goals, make plans, and resolve to do more and be better. But before God ever calls us to do anything, he invites us to rest. In a culture that glorifies busyness, rest can feel unproductive, even irresponsible. Yet...

5 Signs Your Child Is Ready for Baptism (and What to Do If They’re Not)

by Maddie Brouwer | Jan 7, 2026 | Blog

Baptism is an exciting milestone in a child’s faith journey, but knowing when a young person is truly ready can feel like a big responsibility. As caretakers, you want to make sure your child understands not only what baptism is, but also why it matters....

The Power of Spiritual Friendships: Why You Can’t Fight Life’s Battles Alone

by Maddie Brouwer | Jan 6, 2026 | Blog

I sat in the parking lot for hours, listening as my dear friend sobbed over her broken marriage. She was hurting, confused, and unsure of the future. One week later, she listened to me pour out my heart in grief as I watched my child begin to walk the prodigal path....

How to Read the Bible When You Don’t Know Where to Start

by Maddie Brouwer | Dec 26, 2025 | Blog

A new year has a way of making us want to start fresh. Healthier habits, clearer priorities, a better spiritual rhythm. And for a lot of Christians, “read the Bible more” sits right at the top of that list. But here’s the thing: the Bible can feel...

Marriage in the Middle of Mayhem: Staying Connected as Parents

by Maddie Brouwer | Dec 17, 2025 | Blog

It’s 9:15 PM. The kids are finally asleep, dishes half-done, laundry on the couch, and you and your spouse collapse on opposite ends of the sofa scrolling through your phones when you realize you haven’t had a real conversation all day. We’ve all been there. Marriage...
