As we continue to espouse the benefits of the Family Care Learning library on online parenting courses and resources, today we sit down for a Kingdom Culture Conversation with Jennie Dalcour, a clinical supervisor for Christian Family Care in Phoenix, Arizona.  In the first of a two-part conversation, Jennie speaks to the benefits of EMDR, the growing risks associated with emotionally unavailable parents, and the hope that stems from committing to Christian worldview in the midst of a culture mired with anxiety. The Family Care Learning library is available free-of-charge to Northwest Ch ..read more

As you watch Colleen Pfitzinger, a member of Northwest Christian's third grade team, around campus, you might be tempted to think she's a bit reserved. But, that's not the story that's coming out of her classroom. Nope.  For years, students have reported quite the opposite:  that Colleen is not reserved, rather, she's a riot in the classroom...that Colleen knows how to make learning fun.  And, when learning is fun, students cannot get enough. Today, we have the chance to hear from Colleen:  her testimony, her strategies for teaching, and her reflections on where we are i ..read more

At first glance, Luke 2:52 seems harmless enough. "Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man." But, wait a minute... Jesus increased in wisdom?  In other words, the pre-incarnate Word from John 1 "grew in wisdom" over the course of time?  How?  Or, Colossians 1's pre-existent, uncreated God-in-the-flesh became more wise? Further, how did Jesus increase in favor with God?  Is Luke suggesting that at one point God favored Jesus less and then, at another point, He favored Him more?  How does that work? And, so the argument goes:  as th ..read more

As you spend time with Mike Potter, the CEO of the Tyndale Group of Christian Schools in Australia, you are first impressed by his warmth and wit.  Actually, more than wit--the dude is seriously funny.  Spend even more time and you'll discover a man wholly committed to Christ and meeting the needs of students. Spend a bit more time and, well, that is where things start to get messy.  Why?  Because Mike pulls no punches about the messiness that nearly shipwrecked him several years ago.  He's done more than come through a storm, however.  He's come through the sto ..read more

To say that Australian education is unique from American education is an understatement.  Yet, even within that paradigm, Steve Downes' Calvary Christian College is vastly different than most Australian Christian schools. How? That's the subject of today's far-reaching Kingdom Culture Conversation.  So far-reaching, in fact, that we learn of an Aussie's inability to select the finest album from the amazing slate of classic rock albums from the greatest-ever Australian band, Midnight Oil.  ("Diesel and Dust"?  Give me a break.) "Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast ..read more

What does it mean when Jesus says "abide in Me" within John 15?  Is it a trick question?  Can we bring ourselves to accept that His love surpasses my tarnished past? Today, Geoff Brown and Chris "G" Gardiner walk through what may be Jesus' most amazing and revelatory truth claim:  We have the standing invitation to find perfect rest and peace through surrender to Christ.
