The destructive power of pornography simply can not be overstated. And its force is attacking our children at younger ages and in more sinister and silent ways than in past generations. But there are ways to defend and protect our children against this vicious enemy. And today we’re going to talk about it.

Abuse of any sort is simply impossible to fully comprehend, but the abuse of a child ranks among the most agregious of offenses. In this episode we’re going to be talking about a topic that, for some, may be difficult to listen to…and we’ll be incredibly sensitive to the topic at hand. But it’s important to know that in spite of abuse, there is victory in Jesus.

When we walk down the aisle and take the hand of our soulmates, we utter the words, “until death do us part”. And in those moments it’s nearly impossible to imagine a day where death would, in fact, separate the union that we thought would last forever. But, as life would turn out, it does occur; and it’s perhaps the most difficult loss that can be experienced. Can there be love after such a deep loss? Today, we’re going to talk about it.

June is the month that we celebrate Fathers everywhere, and just like we did last month for moms, we’re so excited to have three amazing dads joining us in-studio today for this special episode of This Is Family.

The old saying goes, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”  And in so many ways, that really is true. So it’s in this month when we celebrate Mother’s Day, that we want to take a closer look at motherhood and how we can help encourage moms everywhere!

Change is difficult. There are just no two ways about it. And the world has seen unprecedented change in the last two and half years, no doubt. But what about when the change really impacts us and our families? Today we’re going to talk about how to handle our lives In Times of Change here on This Is Family.

No parent wants to see their child have to go through any sort of medical procedure, but it’s especially difficult when what’s needed is a major life-saving surgery.  On today’s episode of This Is Family, we’re going to hear from some parents who had to walk this road with their newborn son.

The first few years of marriage are a time of massive adjustment as a man and woman come together to build the foundations of their future together.  And in reality, those foundations start even before the wedding day in critical conversations and decisions that will have a lifetime impact.

A parent’s job is complicated and layered. While most every parent strives to be liked by their children, more often than not effective parenting requires setting rules, limits, and structure that can go against the inherent will of the child. And this setting of boundaries is perhaps the most important part of being a parent. 

Life has always presented its share of challenges.  But it seems that life in modern society has become so difficult and it can overwhelm us on many fronts.  Whether it's physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually - sometimes we may feel that we need outside the help. And that's when we can look to a good counselor.

We’ve arrived at that wonderful time of year when the sights and sounds of the holidays are all around us.  As our attention turns toward gathering with family and friends, sharing special meals, and celebrating the blessings of God, we also find ourselves enamored by the keeping of family traditions.

A peaceful home should be our daily refuge from the storms of the outside world, but often being at home can feel like another spinning wheel on the rat-race of life.  But it doesn’t have to be this way, and today we’re going to talk about it.

When you think of “family time”, does it cause you to cringe?  Or is it the most highly anticipated time of the week?  We are often encourage to make space for family time,  but how do you change it from a stressful exercise into an anticipated event?  A family culture of riotous fun and laughter that leaves everyone wanting more is possible and today, we’ll talk about it.

We’ve all probably heard the phrase, “a family that prays together, stays together.”  And while it seems instinctively true, many are left wondering how to actually put this into practice in our busy modern lives. Today, we are going to talk about this important topic and give you some practical advice on how your family can grow closer during times of prayer & devotion. 

A culture of trust in a family is something that needs to be cultivated and carefully maintained. Without trust, all relationships crumble, and this is especially true with those we love the most.
