  1. How to Find the Light When You Can’t See the Way Forward
    Oct 5, 2026 · original
    There are some nights when the dark feels darker than it should — when the worries come after everyone else is asleep, when you don’t know what to do next, when all you really need is a little light for the next step. Becky Thompson and Susan K. Pitts from the Tyndale Bible Team know something about meeting mothers right there, in those midnight moments. Night after night, they’ve gathered a community of more than two million women around prayer and the promises of God, reminding us that when we can’t see the way forward, we can still know where to turn for Light. The beautiful new Midnight Mom Devotional Bible is an invitation to do exactly that — to open the Word in the dark and find the presence of the One who has never left us there alone . Today, Becky and Susan are here at the farm’s table with a word for every mama walking through a hard or heavy season… Guest post by Susan K. Pit

  3. 12 Fridays Until Christmas: How to Be Ready to Simply Receive Jesus
    Oct 2, 2026 · original
    N ow just 12 more Fridays till Christmas. 12 more Fridays until the candles burn low and we’ll linger, in the twinkling glow of the tree on Christmas Eve, with this aching wonder if we somehow missed the holy wonder of Him in the blur and whirl of it all. 12 more Fridays … till we really wished that we had actually prepared Him more room this year. I catch an article just yesterday about the release of a new holiday album, “The Worst Christmas Ever” – and this song about a dad who ends up furiously burning the Christmas presents and a whole family Christmas that went sideways in all these tender, painful ways. When does a painful Christmas begin to feel a bit like unwrapping proof of a failing life ? Why begin the count down to Christmas — to only end up counting all the ways we have to do better to earn the gift of Christ? When did Christmas become a life-audit of whether we are passing
  4. How a Gentle Invitation to Let God’s Word Sustain You… Will Transform Your Life
    Oct 1, 2026 · original
    There are seasons when our hunger for God feels stronger than ever, but our capacity to pursue Him feels impossible. We become weary, discouraged, and resentful because, inevitably, life crowds in, we fall out of our spiritual routines, and we end up feeling like failures. But what if it’s not about doing more for God, but instead learning how to be with him, right where we are? Bible teacher Elizabeth Santelmann understands the shame and pressure that can accompany the desire for greater spiritual growth. In her new Bible study, Gently Tended , she invites weary women to r ediscover closeness with God through simple, grace-filled spiritual practices designed to nourish rather than stress and overwhelm . She reminds us that our God is near and attentive, and he desires to lovingly tend to our hearts in the middle of everyday life. It’s a joy to welcome Elizabeth to the farm’s front porch
  5. How to Pray When You’re Overwhelmed: 5 Ways to Find Peace (+ Free Pocket Prayers)
    Sep 29, 2026 · original
    I hear an analyst say this week that the question she is getting most these days is, “ Are we going to be okay ? ” Are we going to be okay next week, next month, next year, are we going to be okay no matter what happens , are we going to be okay to be neighbours and communities and all fellow members of the family of humanity and how do we pray to be okay through days like these? I lean in toward a mother who tells me this week that her 12-year-old son’s asking her why bother to pray when God already knows everything, rules over everything, decides everything ? I’m standing beside a young woman in a cafe on one on of the last warm nights of October when she takes this call, cups her mouth in her hand as she shakes her head in wide-eyed disbelief, over and over again. She will stammer it out to me afterward: A woman in her circle, who hasn’t been a mama more than a handful of days, just d
  6. When We Don’t See the Reason: Finding God in the Unanswered
    Sep 28, 2026 · original
    Chelsea Ohlemiller never expected grief to become such a defining part of her life. After losing her mom in 2017, she began to discover just how complicated grief, faith and hope can be . There have been days when she has felt deeply held by God and others when she has struggled to understand where He was in the middle of her pain. As a wife and mother of three, Chelsea has also learned what it means to carry her own grief while continuing to show up for the people she loves . Through her writing, Chelsea invites others to embrace the messy, imperfect journey of grief while continuing to find faith, purpose, and hope in the life that remains. It’s a joy and honor to welcome Chelsea to the farm’s table today… Guest Post by Chelsea Ohelmiller I was standing at the casket of my 57-year-old mother when someone I recognized from church approached me. She wrapped me in a hug and said, “ Everyt
  7. When Heaven Seems Silent: Trusting God’s Heart for You in Seasons of Waiting
    Sep 25, 2026 · original
    Waiting is hard, even excruciating at times. There are seasons when it feels endless—when prayers seem unanswered, timelines unravel, and hope flickers under the weight of disappointment. You may find yourself wondering, God is good to others, but is He good to me? Does He care about the desires I’m carrying? Today’s guest knows these questions well. Kaci Nicole Harlow is a follower of Jesus, wife, mama, Christian YouTuber, writer, and speaker whose passion is to see lives transformed through knowing God , and I’m honored for her to share what she’s learned in seasons when heaven seems silent . It’s a joy to welcome Kaci to the farm’s table today… Guest Post by Kaci Nicole Harlow You can’t begin to imagine what a profound pleasure it was to sit down to talk with Kaci Nicole Harlow in the belltower of our 1896 old stone church — this is genuinely a NOT-TO-BE-MISSED-CONVERSATION….

  8. When Taking Care Becomes Taking Over: The Costly Illusion of Control
    Sep 22, 2026 · original
    There are some friends who don’t just write words — they write the ones you didn’t know you desperately needed. My dear friend Lysa TerKeurst has a gift for walking straight into the tender, tangled places of the heart and shining the kind of light that makes you feel seen rather than exposed . This one stopped me. Because if you’ve ever found yourself white-knuckling the illusion that if you just research enough, prepare enough, or worry enough, you can somehow keep the people you love safe from pain — Lysa is about to say the thing your soul has been needing to hear. She is one of the most honest, brave, and deeply grace-filled voices I know, and I couldn’t be more grateful she’s pulling up a chair at the farm table today … Guest Post by Lysa TerKeurst You can’t begin to imagine what a profound pleasure it was to sit down to talk with Lysa TerKeurst in the belltower of our 1896 old sto

  10. What If Poetry Could Help You See Your Life More Clearly?
    Sep 18, 2026 · original
    Some books ask to be read straight through. Others meet us more like a faithful friend—waiting on the nightstand, open to whatever page our hearts can bear that day. Laura Wifler ‘s new poetry collection, This Side of the Sky: 101 Poems for the Hungry, Hopeful, and Homesick , is that kind of book. You can pick it up and put it down. Read one poem before the house wakes. Send one to a friend who needs words . Return to another when life feels too tender, too full, or too much. This is poetry for those who already love poetry—and for those who are fairly sure they don’t. With her rare gift for naming what women experience but often struggle to say, Laura writes about motherhood, friendship, grief, longing, ordinary days, and the quiet ache for a world being made whole . Laura has an uncanny knack for taking the small, familiar moments of a woman’s life and opening them into something large
  11. When You Feel Like You’re Failing: A Different Way to See Your Days
    Sep 17, 2026 · original
    What I keep telling myself as I flail about in the last quarter of the year: “ There is no failure, as long as you don’t fail to learn .” Every failing is another step to success. There is no failure as long as you don’t fail to learn. And here I am learning how to raise my 7th child, and how to champion a forth year university student, and what it means to be a parent to 5 full-grown adults living their own stories, how to be all that many new daughter-in-loves need to flourish, how to be a brand new Amma to brand new grandbabies, and what it means to be present to aging parents struggling through health complications, while being committed to learning new ways to love the same faithful man for decades so that he can be all he is meant to be , tending every day to a flock of 20-some sheep, investing in church community , and studying as a doctorate student of spiritual formation and sou
  12. If You Want To Change How Your Body Keeps Score, Maybe Do This
    Sep 16, 2026 · original
    When I’m flat on my back at the physiotherapist’s is when I think of it. She’s pressing her fingers slowly all down the ache of my taut shoulder blade: “The way you’re managing stress, the way you’re holding yourself through stress, your posture through the day — is causing your shoulder and arm to scream out its own kind of pain SOS.” “Stress speaks through skin.” The body talks. The body translates trauma so we can hear it clearer in a deafening world. Stress speaks through skin. “The only way to work through pain like this, you know, this kinda paralyzing, debilitating kind, is just a steady rhythm of gentle, consistent exercises.” And I want to nod, but my neck hurts, and I realize this too: Unless the mind exercises, the body can’t heal. My physiotherapist hands me several sheets of exercises to work out the stress knots— much like my therapist has also given me mind and soul homewo
  13. How Can Grace & Cancer Coexist? What Grace Looks Like in Your Hardest Seasons
    Sep 14, 2026 · original
    The words you are about to read from this beloved woman — not only could change your life, but are profoundly costly words, written by a woman who shared this past week with us all that, unless God grants her a miracle, which we are all so so so praying for, earnestly, her doctors have said there is no more medically they can offer and she has between 3-6 months left with on this side of glory. So the words that she so vulnerably offers us here — are words that she is living, full of wisdom that she can wholly testify to, as she walks this road with heart-wrenching grace — and I implore you to read her words slowly, letting them fully enter the deepest place of your heart — because her wisdom is what we are all going to need for our own tender roads. Whitney Capps , a wife, boy mom, author, and Bible teacher, whose life was turned upside down with a stage-4 small bowel cancer diagnosis i

  15. A Ground Zero of Love: 25 Years After the Towers Fell
    Sep 11, 2026 · original
    I’m walking through a home inspection, just after 9 am, our 9-month-old baby boy slung up on my hip, his pudgy hand gripping. pulling, tugging, at the collar of my t-shirt, the moment the towers came down. Inspect all you want, check the floors, the trusses, the roof, but no home in the world felt safe the morning of 9/11. When you’re facing what truly feels like the end of the world, what you need is true friends in the world. More than 200 floors fall away, give way, and fathers with flapping ties and mothers in patent pumps, with hearts exploding with love, jumped and fell away, and when the world explodes into plume of smoke, a ball of flame, when it feels like the end of the world on a clear-skied Tuesday morning, where in the world is a safe place for any of us to turn, a safe place for anyone to land? When the world’s falling away, all there is to fall into is the arms of God and
  16. How Praise & Thankfulness Can Be Your Lifeline
    Sep 10, 2026 · original
    There are books that gently encourage us on our journey, ever-upward to the high places with God. Then there are other messages that find us in the lowlands, the deepest, darkest valleys, and give us the courage to look back up and start the climb again . Wendy Speake has written a rare book that sojourns with readers wherever they find themselves on this holy ascent. Many of you already know Wendy through her honest, grace-filled writing and her invitation to pursue Jesus in the ordinary rhythms of everyday life . But this new book comes from an especially tender place, born from a season when her own heart was shattered and praise felt almost impossible. I think so many of us know what it feels like to keep praying for God to change our circumstances while wondering if He sees us in the middle of them. Wendy’s story reminded me that sometimes God meets us not by immediately changing ou
  17. How Any of Your Shame Doesn’t Get to Be the End of Your Story
    Sep 8, 2026 · original
    Some wounds happen in a moment. Others are carried for years. We learn to survive. We keep moving. We smile. But beneath the surface, our hearts are still longing to be made whole. The beautiful news of the Gospel is that Jesus never asks us to hide our scars. He steps into our pain, meets us with grace, and gently leads us toward healing. Today, I’m honored to welcome a friend, pastor, and New Testament scholar whom I deeply esteem, Dr. Derwin L. Gray . In his new book, It’s Time to Heal: Four God-Given Steps to Restore What Life Has Shattered , Derwin weaves together the timeless hope of Scripture, the insights of neuroscience, and the compassionate heart of a shepherd to help us discover that no wound is beyond the restoring love of Christ . I pray this excerpt reminds you that your deepest pain is never deeper than God’s deepest love , and that the scars you carry need not be the end

    There are battles in this life we never would’ve chosen – the kind that make us wonder how in the world we’re going to take one more step . Rachel Wojo knows something about those kinds of battles. Her journey has held heartbreak and loss that she never could’ve imagined, and yet, right there in the hardest places, she has discovered this: we were never meant to fight our battles alone .

    Aug 31, 2026 · original
    Some stories find you at exactly the right moment, and Natasha Kennedy is one of them. She was a children’s book illustrator, a lover of good food and wine, and dreamt of culinary school. Someone, in every sense, made to feast. And then, at thirty-three, she was told she would never swallow solid food again (!!!) What she found in that wilderness, two months of true starvation, confusion, and the terrifying nearness of death, isn’t really a story about food at all. It’s about what happens when the cushions we’ve built around our hearts get stripped away , and we finally come face-to-face with the only One who can truly satisfy.
