The standard by which we measure offense as Christians needs to be re-calibrated, and fast. We have lost our way, men and women of God! We have made an idol out of our right not to be offended. Listen. Offense is a trap; a snare set by the devil to distract us from what really matters, and boy are we stepping on almost every trap the devil is setting right now. Listen in as I talk about an alternative. It’s worth it!

Mailroom Monday, where I’m answering questions sent in from you guys! Today we’re talking about family devotions and wives supporting husbands with PTSD. Life is hard, you guys, but there is hope!



You long to be the mom your kids need, but often you’re convinced you come up short. The label “not enough” seems to be stamped across everything you do—and yet parenting is the one thing you want most to get right. What if the solution is simply to embrace the truth that you are not enough—but God is?
In Gospel-Centered Mom Brooke McGlothlin reveals how our entire approach to motherhood shifts when we stop chasing our vision of a perfect family and start full-out pursuing God.
Brooke McGlothlin is co-founder and President of The MOB Society, author of Praying for Boys: Asking God for the Things They Need Most, co-author of Hope for the Weary Mom: Let God Meet You in the Mess, and the Hope for the Weary Mom 40 Day Devotional. She’s also creator of the Fight Like a BoyMom Program, and a mother of two boys who believes God has chosen her to fight for the hearts of her sons. Her newest book, Gospel Centered Mom, has just released. Brooke can be found most often with her nose in a book, or cheering like a mad woman as her baseball boys take the field.
