Formas de incentivar o “papai urso” da sua vida
Com o Dia dos Pais chegando, você tem uma ótima desculpa para dizer ao homem da sua vida o quanto ele significa para você — porque os papais também precisam de incentivo (mesmo que não peçam por isso ou não demonstrem que precisam). Nós, homens, devemos agir com naturalidade, ser...
Como a confissão de fé do meu filho (quase) causou furor no Twitter
Listen to the blog post here: For almost a week in late 2020, my 11-year-old son practically went viral on the Internet, and he doesn’t even know it. Let me tell you why. You see, he had walked out onto our back deck and, cool as a cucumber, announced to my husband...
Resumo de 2020: O que fizemos e para onde estamos indo agora
2020 — who could have predicted it? It didn’t catch the Lord by surprise, though, and we are so grateful for His provisions at Mama Bear Apologetics this year. As we were preparing for this wrap-up piece, we re-read our goals for 2020, and wow! What did we want to...
Recuperando-se do Movimento da Palavra da Fé
The theology Charla grew up in goes by many names: word-faith, word of faith, name it and claim it, the health and wealth gospel, and prosperity gospel. This “gospel” teaches that we can speak things into existence — blessings, money, and healing. If you...
Um argumento a favor do silêncio
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! Psalm 46:10 (NLT) As a middle-aged woman trying to maintain some measure of physical health, I like to walk the two-mile loop around my neighborhood as many days a...
Criando um legado de oração
I find myself in an odd stage of motherhood — both of my sons are young career adults; one is married; I’m not yet a grandmother. It’s sort of an in-between time. I feel as close to, and as far away from, motherhood as the miles (2 and 380) my sons are from me. By all...
Confissões de um ex-cristão sensível
Back when most of us were still in diapers, there was a trial that made some buzz on the eastern Tennessee nightly news. A parent had been flipping through her children’s classroom readers when some of the material made her conservative Spidey senses tingle. No, it...
As principais lições que tirei da Conferência “Mulheres na Apologética”
Several weeks ago, I attended the Women in Apologetics (WIA) Conference at Biola University in Southern California. I was excited to learn about conversational apologetics, Critical Race Theory, worldviews, and more! To my surprise, however, it wasn’t a session that...
Ensinar nossos filhos a identificar afirmações vazias
O John e eu fomos à Feira Estadual de Iowa neste fim de semana. (Meu marido adora todas as comidas fritas. As calorias na feira não contam, certo?) Entre as paradas que tínhamos programado, queríamos ver uma banda que se anunciava como uma mistura de Stomp com a cappella. Parece legal, né? Nós...
3 ideias de educação parental que parecem contraintuitivas, mas fortalecem a confiança
By Teasi Cannon My youngest child graduated from high school this year, and while it most definitely does not make me the expert on all things parenting, I have learned a few things while stewarding three unique souls through their teen years. Though I am super proud...
O momento em que percebi que a apologética era importante para mim como cristão
In chapter 1 of the first Mama Bear Apologetics book, Hillary talks about “aha!” moments—that moment when we discovered that apologetics was important for our Christian walk. Our “aha” moments are those moments when we realize that...
Ensinar seus filhos a COMPREENDER (em vez de temer) o pecado
by Beth Nyhart Christian parents have a lot on their plate. There’s the everyday responsibilities of keeping a child alive, loved, educated, and set up for adulthood. But above all, we carry the weight of responsibility to make sure they know the truth of the gospel...
Mais um motivo pelo qual a apologética precisa das mulheres
In January, I wrote an article for CrossExamined.org titled “Yes, women need apologetics, but more importantly, apologetics need women.” In it, I describe six main attributes that women bring to the table when it comes to apologetics. Today, I was reminded of one...
Lição da semana: A “batalha das ideias” NÃO é uma metáfora
Many people hear about the “battlefield of ideas” or “the battle for the mind” and think that we are speaking metaphorically. While yes, there are some senses in which it can be used metaphorically (i.e. we are not referring to physical armor and literal swords), I...
Maternidade: mais importante do que a ciência espacial (segundo Cathryn Buse!)
Why would a successful engineer leave NASA to be a mom, and apologist, and now a #mamabear apologist? Share on XI graduated valedictorian from a nationally ranked International Baccalaureate high school. I finished summa cum laude with a bachelor’s and master’s degree...
A música como meio de apologética
I went to a concert tonight, and remembered something that I like to forget about myself: I’m a crier. I never used to be when I was younger. I remember growing up a total tom-boy and seeing those girls who cried at weddings, and babies, and movies, and whatever and...
Prezada Sra. Wilson… Uma carta de uma aluna do ensino fundamental II para sua professora de Ciências
I’ve often said that we don’t give kids nearly enough credit for what they are capable of. As Barna’s research has shown, dumbing down the Christian message into a hollow, shallow, bumper sticker confession of faith is not making Christ’s...
