(in)courage is a great new website created by Dayspring to create a new home for the hearts of women. It features great writing from women striving to glorify God in all they do. . .including raising kids that adore God. They like Seeds. We like them. Go check out this heartfelt site.
Online Radio for the Whole Family
HisKids.net - www.hiskids.net HisKids.net has done a fantastic job of putting the best in children’s Christian programming all in one place. It’s one place online you know provides safe content for your family. From programs to music, there is so much on the site.
Family Camp
Pine Cove - www.pinecove.com/ One of our worship leaders, Lance, spent years serving children and families at PineCove Camp in Tyler, Texas. We think what Mario Zandstra and his Pine Cove team are doing for families is wonderful. They desire for families to leave Pine Cove refreshed and changed.
Organizations for Families
Family Matters – www.familymatters.net We like what Tim and Darcy Kimmel do for families through Family Matters. Their team strives to encourage and equip families for every age and stage of life. We like the seed sowing message they bring families, “when you sow the seeds of grace you reap a harvest of greatness.”
Videos to Facilitate Family Learning
Modern Parables – www.modernparable.com/ Thomas Purifoy and his company have masterfully filmed modern versions of the parables of Jesus. Jesus always communicated hard truths through parables. These films remind you just how true the parables are for today. The single parable editions come with suggestions for how to use the films with your family. These films will spark great conversation and drive your family to more deeply study the Bible.
