Pure Freedom with Dannah Gresh

Perhaps no book of the Bible is more quoted, more frequently addressed, or looked to for comfort more often than the Psalms. But why? In a nutshell - the Psalms are the story of rebellious mankind’s relationship with a Holy God. Throughout these poems and songs that tell of the faithfulness of our loving and merciful Father, we find the greatest delight around every corner - Jesus is there. Our messiah walks through the pages of the psalms, reaching his strong and sure arm of rescue into the mess of the pit we have dug for ourselves and setting our feet on solid ground.

Do you have enough fingers on two hands to count the number of times you have heard Matthew 7 verse 1 used as a social media rebuke recently? “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” It sounds pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? And it’s enough to stop most people dead in their tracks. But we don’t think those words mean what people think they mean, and we also think it’s a good idea that we learn to counter this rebuke. While we’re at it, let’s teach our kids to rightly handle these instructions from Jesus that they might learn to judge… rightly. Become a Freedom Partner and get the Holy Girl Walk Kit for Psalm 1 including Strong Roots: A 12-Day Memory Guide to Psalm 1, memory verse cards, and a Freedom Partner water tumblerGet And the Bride Wore White for your teen or college-aged daughter.Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality and Gender Identity: Biblical Truth for Raising Kids with Confidence in Today’s Culture can be ordered here. Visit Mama Bear Apologetics for all kinds of great resources! Get the True Girl Subscription Box

You don’t want to hear the statistics about pornography use in America today. But we’re going to share them, anyhow. The concerning - is that word strong enough?- the concerning reality is that 79% of men who regularly attend church self-report a frequent exposure to pornography. The news is better for women, but not quite cut in half. 40% of Christian women, according to Barna research, report intentionally encountering pornography on a somewhat regular basis. It gets worse, as 3 out of 5 Christians who regularly view pornography believe a person can do so and maintain a sexually healthy lifestyle. But ask someone whose spouse has been taken completely captive to pornography if this is true.

There are some things we don’t mind talking with our kids about. Handling the bully at school. Integrity at work and school. Choosing friends wisely. Why is it, when it comes to sexuality - especially topics like homosexuality and gender - we hesitate? Maybe we want to get it right. Maybe we have a fear of man. We may not feel qualified. But here’s some good news - we’re not responsible for outcomes. We’re responsible to share the truth. To have beautiful feet that simply bring good news… yes, even in our own homes.

Parents know no greater joy than this - that their children walk in the truth. We want our kids to know Jesus, to love Jesus, and to serve Jesus. It is a desire of an order that is even greater than their happiness. If only we knew how to be sure this is the case. Well, our kids, like us, have free will and each is responsible for her own journey, but there are things we can do that build faith and faithfulness in our children. And worshiping together… is one of those things.  Get tickets to the True Girl Crazy Hair TourRegister for Raising Sexually Pure Kids, a live workshop with Dannah Gresh, brought to you by Cedarville University.Join us at the Gresh Farm October 24th to Kickstart our next True Girl Tour.Get Yancy’s book, Sweet Sound: The Power of Discipling Kids in Worship here!  Check out Yancy’s music to stream at home.

If there is a leading criticism found online today it has to be this… We (the world) have had enough of Christian thoughts and prayers! To some degree, God agrees according to the book of Chronicles where it reads: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” God wants us to be in prayer about our own hearts and homes. Prayer is not the absence of action; it is the very thing that makes our actions effective. And how much more so when our prayers are for our children! Visit the Moms in Prayer website here!
