12 Characteristics of True Principles, Part 1
We live in a world of relativism–my truth and your truth, rather than THE truth. Yet, as mission driven moms, we are striving to build principle-centered hearts and homes. This is no easy task, especially when we’ve been given almost no clear instruction or direction in the skills of discovering and applying true principles in
Knowing Principles Won’t Save You
In our attempts to build principle-centered homes, sometimes we are tempted to think that if we could just find and teach our children true principles, we’d be home free! Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. The life of Oscar Wilde is a perfect tutorial in principles ignored. Even though he was brilliant and funny, even
Ideas Rule the World
If you were asked what rules the world, what would you say? Money, politicians, scientists? Incredibly, what really rules the world is none of these, but an intangible entity: ideas.

What’s Your Intention?
“When our motives are wrong, nothing else can be right.” ~Stephen R. Covey Why is this? Why do our motives and intentions matter so much? Why is it that even when an individual seems to be doing all the right things, we turn away in disgust when we discover they had wrong intentions? What are
Principles Stink!
At The Mission Driven Mom, we are empowering moms with principles and purpose. We know that God in His wisdom created a world run by immutable natural laws. We know that true principles flow from these natural laws. And we know that principles are the answer to life’s toughest problems. Yet, when comes time to
Meeting Life With Nonviolent Resistance
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. turned the world upside down in the 1960’s with his revolutionary approach to the problem of racial segregation. His method, “nonviolent resistance,” had produced amazing results in India. When King sought to bring a consciousness of the evil of segregation to the minds of the white community, he determined to
Mission Driven Stories: C.S. Lewis
You probably already know all about C.S. Lewis’ incredible writings like The Narnia Series and The Screwtape Letters. You may also be aware that he was once an atheist and eventually converted not only to theism but also to Christianity. What you may not know is how he got from Christianity to atheism and back
Insights On Discernment
Do you ever feel confused about who or what to believe? News articles, sound bites and competing voices can leave your head spinning. If you have felt this, you’re not alone.

Who Are You?
Have you ever considered that the way you talk to yourself about yourself might actually not be true? Have you ever caught yourself speaking about yourself in reference to a fault or weakness like, “I’m not good with people” or “I’m not a morning person” or “I hate exercising?” As if these habits were part
Thoughts On Liberty
With the 4th of July just around the corner, it’s a good time to reflect on the liberties we enjoy.

The Fear of Knowing
As mothers in a modern Information Age, we are inundated with information from every direction. Yet, very little of this “information” is truly valuable to us and our families. As mission driven moms, our job becomes to filter through this information and find the most essential principles that will build a strong family and home.
