A Mother’s Relentless Prayer
by Meghan Garmon on May 6th, 2025
"Pray without ceasing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:17 There’s something powerful about a mother who prays. It’s more than just words spoken into the air.

The story of Monica, the mother of St. Augustine, is a beautiful reminder of what relentless prayer can accomplish. For over thi... Read More

by Meghan Garmon on May 5th, 2025
"Therefore I have lent him to the Lord. As long as he lives, he is lent to the Lord." - 1 Samuel 1:28 There’s something special about the prayers of a mother. From the moment a child is born, a mother’s heart is naturally wired to nurture, protect, and guide.

So What If You’re Not Perfect?
by Meghan Garmon on June 24th, 2020
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10) In her book, The Gifts ... Read More

A Father To The Fatherless
by Meghan Garmon on June 21st, 2020
Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him – his name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land. (Psalm 68:4-6) I want you to take a second and think about the Leaning Tower of ... Read More

A Father’s Presence
by Meghan Garmon on June 19th, 2020
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. (1 Timothy 5:8) We can learn a lot about fatherhood from Abraham. What made Abraham great is not that his life was perfect, but that through it all, he stayed with God. His life was not without blemish. He made mistakes. He disappointed God. He wasn’t alway... Read More

I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me. (Genesis 22:17-18) If you grew up in church, one of the first songs you learned is a song entitled “Father Abraham.” I... Read More

Honor Your Father
by Meghan Garmon on June 16th, 2020
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12) In her powerful text “The Will To Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love,” Bell books writes of her father. She says, “Growing up, I knew my father as the strong man who did not talk, who did not show feelings, who did not give time or attention. He was a provider, the protector, th... Read More
