Just as the bitter chill of winter can freeze the world around us, our hearts can grow cold toward God when we drift away from Him. Neglecting prayer and His Word—and allowing distractions to take priority—can leave us feeling distant and numb.

Wildfires and Faith—Renewal Through Adversity
Raging wildfires are devastating, but they play a critical role in forest ecology and renewal. Fire clears out undergrowth, releases nutrients back into the soil, and triggers the germination of fire-dependent species. Chris Bruin explains how, in a similar way, the challenges and hardships we face are beneficial in the long run because they force us to reassess our priorities, strengthen our resolve, and deepen our faith.

The Difference Between Childishness & Willful Defiance
Parents must understand the difference between willful defiance and childish irresponsibility. Kids make mistakes all the time because they lack the maturity to make wise decisions. Their blunders require softer correction, but name-calling, temper tantrums, and other forms of disrespect from a child is prohibited and needs to be handled differently. Brenen and Morgan Beeler explain what distinguishes a simple misstep from contempt, and they provide examples for how to discipline in each circumstance.

Error or Opportunity?
When our spouse fails us or makes a mistake, it’s natural to respond with harsh, critical words. But this can drive a wedge between us that harms our marriage. In their new video, Brennen and Morgan Beeler explain a better way, which can encourage security and trust. This powerful suggestion is based on the devotional “Error or Opportunity?” which is on page 168 of Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book Night Light for Couples.
