An Unexpected Way to Teach Our Kids to Pray

Valerie Woerner explores what she’s learned about teaching her kids to pray.

  • Each night, my husband and I snuggle our girls in their cozy twin beds (alternating each time, of course) for a bedtime book and prayer.

Headwaters: An Interview with Andrew Osenga

I’ve been richly fed by Andrew Osenga’s last album The Painted Desert, and I’m so glad he’s not done yet. I’m even more excited that this album was written for his daughters and for the church. There’s still time to get in on the Kickstarter for Headwaters. I can’t recommend it enough.

  • The story of Headwaters begins in my last record, The Painted Desert. That album was made after a long season of loss and spiritual dryness, and the writing of it was a cathartic process that helped lead to some healing.
    Life changes, as it always does, and circumstances are different now. While I still carry many of those emotions and feelings with me, they’re not as heavy as they were at the time, for which I’m thankful. But I know that I would not be HERE had I not walked through THERE.

Treasury for Children | James Herriot

Théa Rosenburg recommends a classic.

  • When my eldest daughter was a toddler, she discovered James Herriot’s Moses the Kitten. She dropped that book in my lap again and again, and we read it until the book spine felt limber and the pages soft. It is a long book—not ideal for a hasty pre-nap read—but I loved the descriptive passages, we both loved the warmth and coziness of the story, and my daughter loved the paintings of the kittens.
