Key Life isn’t for everyone. If you want the Bible to be a “book of rules,” if you think there is something unspiritual about laughter and dangerous about freedom and if you define faithfulness as conformity to Christian stereotypes, then Key Life probably isn’t for you. But if you’re interested in an honest, non-manipulative and thoughtful presentation of Biblical truth in the context of Christ’s unconditional love, Key Life may be for you. If you need to hear the hopeful truth that God isn ...

Sometimes one word can make all the difference! For example, "may" in a legal document is entirely different from "shall." The first makes an action optional; the second makes it an obligation. In Jesus's teachings in Matthew 5, two words (7 letters) in the 6th Beatitude make all the difference -- not only for the original audience but for us. "Ble…

Robert Frost's immortal poem, "The Road Not Taken" speaks to the impact our choices make. This ability is hardwired into us, yet we often struggle to teach our kids (or use ourselves) a framework for how to make good choices. Today's episode unpacks the A-LASO method. A--Appreciate the ability to chose. This perspective helps move us into a posture…

Remember the song lyrics, "What the world needs now is love, sweet love?" It's as true now as then, even though what "love" looks like is still not universally agreed on. One trait, however, that tends to be recognized -- even if not practiced -- is mercy. This is one of the characteristics that Jesus declared marked people who lived in the kingdom…

The gospel is meant to be "earthy." It's not about how to "survive" earth until finally making it to heaven. Jesus taught the "Kingdom of Heaven" was about life starting here on earth. Teaching kids how to love God includes the practical, "earthy" things like honoring the places they inhabit and use. It's about seeing their purposes as being greate…

If Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, gave a free virtual workshop on how to run a successful company, people would listen! If Sydney McClaughlin-Levrone, the 400 meter hurdles World and Olympic record-holder offered free coaching, you can bet hurdle-wanna-be's would stand in line to gain her insights. So when Jesus says, "This is what leads to a f…

Everyone ends up with more names than the one given at birth. Many of these prove to be stressful if not downright destructive. They can come from parents, caregivers, siblings, adults, or other children. They can be mean and cruel, designed to hurt, or they can result from ignorance about their power -- even if they're "positive" names. See the po…

Meekness is a wonderful concept! But it can be hard (at least for me) to practice at certain places -- like the Department of Motor Vehicles! In the 3rd Beatitude, Jesus declares it was the meek who would inherit the earth. Surely that would have sounded like Jesus didn't have a good grip on reality to a people ruled by Rome -- who hadn't conquered…

Fulfilling the First Great Commandment needs a proper understanding of our origins. Were we designed? Derived? What difference does it make? Be inspired to think deeply about this topic -- beyond a usual narrative about fossils, carbon dating, and age of the earth. Be empowered to talk about this critical topic with your children. Empower yourself …

"You're going to love serving under my leadership, especially if you are in mourning." Not the opening lines of any new leader's address! Yet early in Jesus' ministry he declares, "Blessed are those who mourn." How does this qualify for the "abundant" life he came to give? Understanding "abundant" is not the same as "happy," is the start to accepti…

How can you help kids protect their capacities? Teaching humility. But this is a virtue that requires time to develop. It's not a series of lessons to complete! Learn three ways humility is developed and practiced. Discover from the examples of the space shuttle Challenger, popcorn, and the ancient Jewish king, Saul, the high cost of refusing humil…

The “Beatitudes” can read more like inspiring but irrelevant wall art than life-altering wisdom. Jesus’s statement that people who were “poor in spirit” were blessed can sound like a cute nursery rhyme instead of the key to a life of true empowerment. Discover why recognizing our poverty – our inability to provide for our own needs – unlocks the do…

Ever said anything your kids considered shocking? If so, you may be in good company! In the New Testament book of James, he writes shocking words addressing the issue Christians were fighting about. (Sadly, Christians fighting over theology isn't new!) Back then it was faith vs. works, or, put another way, "who vs. do." As we teach our kids the imp…

It's been said most people don't quit their jobs; they quit their bosses. How we relate to supervisors may make the biggest difference in how we show up -- or don't -- for a job. It's the same with our faith. Is Christianity a tyrannical boss? One that's good in emergencies but has little value in the day-to-day? Or one that has the desire and wisd…

How would you answer the question, "Who is your child?" beyond giving their name? Would it be a list of their interests or accomplishments? What if we defined who-ness by both personality and character traits? Yet even that is a difficult distinction! Yet difficult isn't impossible. It takes work to help transform our children's "who" capacities in…

Do people ever learn? Why does history repeat itself? Does anyone finish well in leadership without blowing up their lives first? We close the study of Nehemiah with three life principles -- two are sobering; one is encouraging. Leadership matters. It's not enough for people to have the right credentials; they need the right heart. Systems and stru…

Today is the first episode in a new series helping parents teach kids how to live out the first Great Commandment in "ordinary" life. We look at the connection between capacities and confidence. Does being confident make someone capable? Is being insecure an indication of a lack of capacity in an area? We examine how to help kids identify their cap…

Worship can seem like it’s purpose is to stroke God’s ego. Is that its purpose? Why does God place such a high priority on worship? Fascinatingly, scientific research shows benefits to worship – especially corporate singing. It builds trust, creates community, reduces isolation, and affirms a positive sense of belonging and self. Worship is for our…
