What sparked the idea for our rewards program was the desire to show appreciation for our customers who keep coming back for a journal for themselves or a gift time and time again! It makes our day as a small business, especially one with such an eternal purpose, to see this kind of impact and we want to share a little bit of that excitement with you. So without further
Work has really gotten a bad rap, but truly, work was in God’s plan from the beginning, before sin entered the world. There is so much purpose in our work, whether it’s inside or outside the home. In this series of podcasts, you’ll hear a chat with a gal who’s made her whole job about working God’s way, learn some specific things we can add to our prayer journals in
We are living in wild times, friends. Pretty much anything can be called Christian even though what fills the pages strays pretty far from it. We live in a time of celebrity pastors and celebrity authors. I’m pretty sure if Paul saw those two words together, he would have thought it was a joke. I remember listening to a missionary in another country say that she didn’t understand celebrity Christian
One of our favorite parts of this season is helping you pick out gifts for each person on your list! Your friends, sister-in-laws and daughters come back every year and let us know that their journal was the best gift they received.

How do we pray when we’re exhausted? Even as I type that word––exhausted––has me right back in that feeling. When you want to pray but you’re either too sleepy or maybe even too wired mentally to pray. I’ll start by sharing something fairly obvious but something we forget. We aren’t the first generation to get sleepy while praying. Remember Peter, James and John? They fell asleep in the Garden of
Tomorrow is the one year birthday of my book, Pray Confidently and Consistently! To celebrate, I’m giving a small peek into the most important lessons I’ve learned about prayer. Ever since I created our monthly prompted prayer journal format 9 years ago, my life has radically changed, not just my prayer life. That’s the craziest thing about prayer. When we pray more, it doesn’t just affect our prayer time. It
There’s not a lot of content out there about Health Anxiety, so we’re hoping these episodes land in the laps of the people (or loved ones!) who need it. Here, Val opens up about her own journey through Health Anxiety, chats with a friend who’s endured some of the same difficulties and no matter what your struggle, settle in with our prayer for when you can’t sleep.**Grabbed your prayer journal
