This is imperfect parents talking to imperfect parents in community, about how the wisdom and grace of the Lord Jesus has helped them not only survive but thrive in parenting

What is a woman? Feminism, femininity and the great devaluing of motherhood.
In so many ways it feels like we’ve lost our bearings. What does it mean to be a woman? What does it mean to be a mum? Questions that seemed obvious a generation ago seem almost impossible to answer today. Is there even any difference between what it means to be a mum or a dad? Does the Bible…

Where did all the dads go? Toxic masculinity, man-bashing and fatherhood.
I say ‘masculinity’. You say… ‘toxic’. For many, masculinity in the west is in crisis. Young men are increasingly isolated, drifting and angry. According to one recent report, 65% of men aged 18-23yrs surveyed agreed with the statement that, ‘no one really knows me well.’ The same report found…

Everyone needs a miracle. Instruction, kindling, ODD and what even homeschooling can’t achieve.
Perhaps nothing is more discouraging than when a child continues to be unresponsive and even defiant despite our best attempt at parenting them. It’s easy as a parent to feel completely exasperated and out of options. Yet the Bible paints a picture that is even worse than we like to believe. Our...

Bubble wrap, safe-spaces and non-resilient parenting. Are we just too sheltered today?
A quick flashback to suburban Australia in the 1970’s & 1980s reveals a very different experience of childhood. Even as late as the 1990s it was not uncommon to see children playing unsupervised in the street and being tasked with significant responsibility outside of the home. For most children...

The little emperor generation. How can I know if I’m worshipping my kids?
Over the past 40yrs the world has drastically changed. Firstly, there’s been a massive decline in the number of people having children. In Sydney over 90% of suburbs have a birth rate that is below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman. Secondly, there’s been a huge shift in the way we...

Gentle parenting, spanking and spoiling kids. How should we think about discipline?
Over and over again studies have shown a strong correlation between physical discipline and mental health challenges. Yet at the same time many parents and teachers alike experience a sense of exasperation at the rapid rise in disrespectful and defiant behaviour amongst school aged children. Is...

Career vs Kids. A balance to be mastered? Or worldliness in the church?
We live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. For the average Sydney family it can feel like a challenge just to make ends meet let alone even thinking about taking time off work. In 21st century Sydney the ‘stay-at-home Mum’ feels like a phenomenon from a bygone era. Not even a...

Dealing with failure. Irreparable damage, redemption and our culture of fear.
We live in an age of anxiety, so it's little surprise that as parents we can find ourselves plagued with fears. Fears like ‘our kids missing out’, or, somehow causing them ‘irreparable damage’ can be paralysing! For other parents, our fears don’t loom as large as our many failures. As parents we...

Who do you think you are? How much does our past shape us as parents?
