I’m sure by now you have all heard about Doug Phillip’s resignation and its surrounding circumstances. I appreciated David Murray’s thoughtful post on that subject last week. Yesterday, Vision Forum Ministries announced its closing as well. There’s a lot whirling around the web right now regarding these developments. I certainly don’t have anything profound to […]
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert “The serpent is more crafty than any of the beasts of the field. He attacks while retreating, retreating while attacking. He concedes this point, all the while making that point. He is both a tar baby and quicksilver. And we are fools for forgetting it.” –R. C. Sproul, Jr. During […]
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood In today’s debut of Just Ask the Wemmicks, we have a wonderful Wemmick question for you – along with several Wemmick answers. I’ll be posting my answer here on Visionary Womanhood, but you will also be able to read what some of our other Wemmick contributors have to share […]

Tucked into the side of one Colorado […]
German Parliament Reichstag © sborisov – Fotolia.com If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world […]
If you’ve ever wondered how you can obey the Great Commission and raise a family at the same time…Organic Outreach for Families is for you. This is not just a “theory.” This is an amazingly encouraging, highly practical manual to motivate families to be a lighthouse RIGHT WHERE GOD HAS PLACED THEM. Kevin and Sherry […]
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. (1 Corinthians 9:24, NASB). I am what some might call a “football mom.” I have four boys who play the sport, and […]
By Contributing Writer, Bambi Moore We’ve been witnessing the crumbling of the Christian family for decades but are now observing the landslide. Society is no longer content to ignore the sanctity of marriage or blur the roles of Biblical manhood and womanhood—now it attacks with a vengeance. Over half of all marriages end in divorce, […]
For years, we were urged to be “seeker-sensitive,” and rightly so (who would want to be “seeker- insensitive?“) But we’ve taken that paradigm in an unintended direction, and it’s revealed a glaring weakness in our understanding of what it is to be a pastor. It goes like this: Pastors, by nature, are people who love […]
By Contributing Writer, Kelly Crawford Our society revolves, almost entirely, around the greatest hoodwinking of all time: the false definition of education. In fact, I feel bold enough to say it is a major player in the modern church’s demise as well. We do not understand what education is, what it is for, and so […]

Facebook Hissy Fits (and How to Avoid Them)
I love and hate Facebook. I love to use it for my business and this blog, and I love the handful of groups I participate in. But otherwise, I think it’s the pits. Just think about election season, for example. The season for “friends” and “followers” to put down the masks and start shooting. But […]
You’ve seen it. The arched back. The clenched fists. The scrunched up face. The flailing feet. The hideous shrieks of indignation. And all you wanted to do was put their shoes on so they could do what they wanted to do: go outside and play. They thought you wanted to torture them, because, you know, […]
Choosing Which Hills to Die On
By Contributing Writer, Molly Evert This week’s posts have touched on some hot button issues including higher education, vocation, and living “off the grid.” Unfortunately, there are no debate-ending proof texts on any of these issues that clearly tell us which choices are “the biblical ones.” In her post about college yesterday Natalie went after […]
Potty Training: Mom of Nine Tells All
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Potty Training: A Necessary Evil I’ve been potty training for 16 years now (well, not me—but, you know—my kids) and have succeeded, during that time, in potty training four girls and three boys so far. I won’t tell you how much poop and pee I’ve cleaned up from walls, […]
Help! Pregnancy is Making My Body Fall Apart!
By Natalie, Editress of Visionary Womanhood I received the following e-mail recently: My husband and I are in the long slow process of changing our thinking about family size. We are currently expecting our fifth little treasure, and we are so grateful, and excited. And a little scared sometimes, too, haha. :) Our oldest is […]
Demystifying the Institute for Excellence in Writing
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) Home educating mothers tend to be overwhelmed by two subjects in particular. Science and writing. OK. Upper level math too. Since I’m not much of a left-brained gal, I won’t be writing any posts about dead animal dissections or the wonders of […]
Medical vs. Natural Childbirth: A Personal Story
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Twenty years ago I was pregnant with our first baby and determined to have a mid-wife and experience pregnancy and birth in the most “natural” way possible. Nineteen weeks into the pregnancy I began to spot a little. Since I could feel the baby moving and had no […]
Eating the Placenta: A Christian Worldview Perspective
By Natalie Klejwa, Editress of Visionary Womanhood Placentophagy, the practice of eating the placenta after giving birth, is a subject of some interest among Wemmicks these days. After googling it, I only found one other “voice” out there raising the question of whether or not it is a morally viable option for those who claim […]
