An Invitation to Join me at Focus on the Family

Written By Trillia Newbell

In a few weeks, I will be visiting the campuses of Focus on the Family to meet with staff and ministry partners. We’ll talk about the themes of United:  about the benefits of diversity in the church and life, and how our adoption into a new family changes how we relate to one another.

Focus on the Family is a Christian organization that has provided resources to help families thrive for over 35 years. Their aim is to assist couples in building healthy marriages and parents in raising their children according to morals and values grounded in biblical principles.

I was invited to share as part of Glenn Stanton’s Family Insight Lecture Series. Stanton is the Director of Family Formation Studies at Focus and speaks around the country on the issues of gender, sexuality, marriage, and parenting. My talk will be on women and diversity. In addition to the lecture, I will meet with staff for a Q & A about diversity and ministry at Focus.

While both events are provided primarily for the staff and community partners within the Focus family, Focus recently opened my sessions to the public as well. If you are in the Colorado Springs area, I’d like to invite you to join me and Glenn Stanton on Thursday, February 6, from 11:30- 1:00 p.m. on the campus of Focus on the Family.

I am honored to visit with Focus and thankful to see a ministry rich in tradition and Christian values think through these important topics. I hope to see you there!

Sacred Endurance Book Launch Event Highlights, Quotes, and more

Thank you to all who were able to come out to the Sacred Endurance book launch event. It was a night I’ll never forget. One surprising gift was the people who drove hours upon hours to attend from Minnesota to Birmingham to Chicago; we were blessed to visit with people from all over the country. I realize that most people would not be able to take the trek to good ole’ Tennessee, so I wanted to provide a few highlights including quotes from speakers and pictures.

A Conversation about Fear and Faith
A Conversation about Fear and Faith

Over the past year, I’ve been anticipating the day when I could share more about a project I was working on called, Fear and Faith. This book is written from the perspective of one who struggles with fear and has consistently been comforted by the One who gives peace. In it, I seek to answer how God’s sovereignty, goodness, love, and wisdom affect the way we respond to our temptations to fear…

HomeLife Magazine Culture Column
HomeLife Magazine Culture Column

You’ve probably heard the tune and if you’re like me, you only really know one line: “It’s the end of the world as we know it.” I am unaware of the message of the entire song, but I do know that when I look out at the landscape of our culture I can begin to think, it’s the end of the world as we know it. If we set our gaze on the world we will surely be discouraged. But when we look through the lens of the Bible we can begin to understand, if even slightly, why things are this way. We can begin to develop a biblical worldview regarding culture and society.

In 2014 Lifeway’s HomeLife Magazine will begin featuring a culture column written by me. The short column will focus on the issues and topics that face our culture today such as tragedies and our response, racial reconciliation, abortion, sex, marriage, friendship and more. I’m praying that the column would encourage the HomeLife readers and spark new conversations…
