It’s been two years since we buried our baby girl, Luca Gold. And yesterday, on her second birthday, our family genuinely celebrated her little life with laughter, singing, dancing….blowing out candles…
As my Studhub, Lucas says….“Authenticity is job security.” And I couldn’t agree more. I’ve read all the online tactics to gain more followers, to increase readership, and ‘become an…
From Christa: As we all know, exteriors rarely reveal the full depth inside a person’s heart. And though my Patagonia-wearing Studhub, Lucas, is a physically rugged Crossfit junkie who can probably…
Porn. Even reading those four letters causes many of you to turn up your nose in judgmental disgust, while others lower their heads heavy with shame. But because most of us…
2014 was a year of loss and pain for our family. And 2015 has been a year of rebuilding. After we lost our little Goldie, not only did God begin rebuilding…
Before I start….let me get something off of my chest. Because of the massive response of my last blog called ‘What Does Christian Sex Look Like?’, I put a lot of…
It was the day before our wedding on 7/7/07, and Luke and I could barely keep our holy hands off of each other. We had spent a few days moving…
I am angry. Very angry. For decades, this was an emotion I had taught myself not to have as a good Christian girl. But when my Goldie died, the most…
When I wake up most mornings, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and I could pretty much sing ‘Supercalifragalisticexpialidotious’ after opening my eyes. The hubs, however, is a…
Several weeks ago I went shopping for myself—which is about as rare as snow falling in October. And while many of you think that’s an exaggeration, I was on orders…
I’m not the type of blogger that writes controversially to gain followers. I’m also never going to personally attack someone that I disagree with, which many people use their online platform…
Reading old journals can either be inspiring, or a little bit embarrassing. And reading mine can be a bit of both. Before the husband, the kids, the blog, book, and…
Two years I have waited. For two years, Luke and I have longed to bring home our little girl, with bassinets staying empty and dainty clothes stored away. When your body is…
I’m not a big fan of lack. Especially when I believe the Jesus of abundance lives inside of me….the same Jesus that multiplied five loaves of bread and two fish to feed way over…
For two weeks, my mom has been trying to steal me away and bless me with a mani-pedi. But juggling things like practically living at the NICU with our 33 week…
I have no idea how people survive without Jesus. Actually, let me be more clear. I have no idea how people survive without EXPERIENCING Jesus—because there’s a world of difference….
Here I am….laying in this hospital bed at 4:28 am, listening to the beeping of my heart monitor, and the treasure of my daughter’s heart beating loudly through the speaker…
As I opened my eyes Saturday morning in a hotel room in Houston, Texas, I heard Father begin whispering to my heart, “Hey girl, instead of turning on the finale of Top…
“I had planned to end my life, but chose to give it one last shot and signed up for the Master Heart Course. I finally found what I was looking for. My life has changed in ways I could never could put into words, being healed far beyond what I could imagine. I have a long way to go, but this course literally saved my life..”
