As a parent, when you’re disciplining, breaking up fights, or chatting in the car—would you believe you’re doing theology? Theologian Kelly Kapic knows theology isn't just a matter of what we think. It affects who we are.
Theology is about life, which means our souls can’t afford to avoid it.
So what version of God are our kids internalizing? How can we respond thoughtfully in talks with our kids about acceptance, injustice, suffering, poverty, and moral absolutes?
Kelly, author of A Little Book for New Theologians: Why and How to Study Theology, offer do-this-now ideas to shape an unshakeable theology that can stand up to whatever life tosses at our kids.

Ever find that even when you're home, it's hard to be “all there” in your marriage? Jonathan Pokluda, author of Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do: Replace Deadly Vices with Life-Giving Virtues has ideas on chucking the habits stealing your full attention from your relationship.
I think so often, we get stuck in this defense mode of trying not to sin, trying not to give into that; or even worse, hiding it rather than pursuing the virtuous life that God has for us and that He’s calling us to in marriage. Then, my boy Brian is here. I’m glad you’re here, because the other day, I teased the Art of Marriage®. -- Jonathan Pokluda

The vise-grip of lust or critical thoughts can feel insurmountable. But from personal battles, author Jonathan Pokluda has come to a tangible escape hatch. If you're wondering how to break a bad habit at last, don't miss this thoughtful wisdom.
Every human being that has ever lived, with one exception, has done lots of things they didn’t want to do. You see it in parenting so clearly—you know, the struggle is real—it’s like, “Man, why do that?” -- Jonathan Pokluda

Stuck in habits and vices you hate? Speaker and bestselling author J.P. Pokluda knows there's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers--because that's not where you'll find them. With his signature wit and wisdom, he explains, unpacks, and expands on the age-old virtues Scripture tells us to pursue. Far from being restrictive, these God-given goals for living free you to love and live as you wish you would.
The enemy comes along and sets it in front of you, and just says, “Here, take and eat. Why wouldn’t you?” Like he does with Jesus when He's in the desert; he says, “Why don’t You eat this bread? Look, all of this could be Yours!” He’s still running the same offense.
I think, as long as we’re under the sun—until we’re in that glorified state, until we’re in the presence of God—that temptation never goes away. There’s always going to be the desires of the flesh [and] the enemy who lures us with the things of the world. -- Jonathan Pokluda

Sherri Lynn, cohost of the Brant Hansen show, believes marriage isn't the only solution to loneliness. She gets real about the road to happy singleness—and offers wise ways to be single and content.
I learned that “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me,” and that that scripture—we use it a lot of times [saying], “I can get that job. I can get that car. I can get that degree. I can—” Then, “Sure! We can.” However, I can be content in all things. So, if God doesn't have that for me, that doesn't make me “less than.” -- Sherri Lynn

What if your church—and your life—were known for their radical kindness? Pastor and author Stephen Viars chats about his church's radical, community-altering approach to outreach.
You know, one of the things I love about community ministry is that it's often not, “I have to build something new.” It's more about using what I already have to meet a need. I've been in Lafayette at Faith Church for 36 years, and the gentleman that hired me was named Bill Goode, my predecessor. When I went to Faith, they had just built a new building, and it was very, very nice—brand new. -- Stephen Viars

When it comes to loving their communities, churches can get a bad rap for saying no until they have to say yes. But three decades as a pastor have made author Stephen Viars reconsider: Their church longs to move into indispensable roles that wrap arms around the entire community. Grab ideas to live in can't-miss ways in your own zipcode.
It's, “Go love your neighbor where they are right now. Go find a need and then just see how you can meet that need together, wherever they are.” Then, often, they're going to ask, “Why do you love me like that?” In fact, we want our neighbors to constantly have reason to ask; “Why did you do that for us?” “Well, because we love you.” -- Stephen Viars

We can have great failures that are followed by tons of shame and regret. We're just so disappointed with ourselves. Peter was there. We can say, “God is done with us now.” Do you know God didn't tell us that? We can make that conclusion for God because we just are so ashamed of what we've done.

It's one thing to learn to be dependent individually, but when you begin to learn to pray together and think of the family; when a family can begin to pray together, or the parts of the family—when I can close a conversation off with one of my kids, “Hey, can we just pray together about this?” Or where you'd turn conversations into short prayer times, where prayer begins to seep into all the structures and the fabric of how you do life as a family together, that's when the Spirit begins to work in amazing ways. -- Paul Miller

Could knowing God's whole picture for intimacy rev up your sex life? Dr. Juli and Mike Slattery explore how understanding God's character in married sex transforms your bedroom.
Faithfulness is this idea of character and trust. It's not just sexual fidelity, but it's trusting each other's character that, “Hey, I'm not going anywhere. We're in this together, even if I'm having a bad day, or we're going through a season of marriage where we're not communicating, we're not giving up." It's that foundation of, “I can trust you”.

What if God gave us married sex as a picture of Himself? And how could your understanding of this picture revolutionize your sex life? Dr. Juli Slattery and her husband Mike explore mind-boggling truths of how, in an over-sexualized world, God's ideas about sex are far more than we imagined.
Covenant is a unique relationship that’s based on a promise. It’s not based on how you feel. It’s not based on if you’re attracted to someone. It’s not based on if you’re meeting each other’s needs. That’s a contract. A covenant is, “I am promising to love you. I am promising to not leave you or forsake you.”

Toxic masculinity is just as destructive as we think it is—to society and men alike. But author and professor Nancy Pearcey's data shows more of the whole story: of the power of a great dad and a good man to change their corner of the world.
As a little girl, I looked up to my dad so much. I was the youngest of four, but I can remember being scared of the dark, and I ran into my parents' bedroom. I would snuggle in between my mom and dad, and I remember my dad would put his arm around me and I would feel so protected, and then my little head would move into his rib, and I could feel and hear his heartbeat. I felt so cared for and protected.
I loved my mom. I had a great relationship with my mom, but there was something about my dad that made me feel safe. I always wanted his attention. I wanted to be seen by him because he was so important to me. -- Ann Wilson

Author and professor Nancy Pearcey explores sociological data to uncover why it's open season on masculinity—and the surprising role of Christian men.
It turns out the very concept that masculinity is toxic has much deeper roots than most of us realize. Most of us probably think about the ‘60s or something, with the feminist movement, second wave. No, no, no; you have to go all the way back to the Industrial Revolution. -- Nancy Pearcey

Author and professor Nancy Pearcey knows her personal, searing path toward war on men. But on a broader level, she began to ask, how did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous? She uncovers why the script for masculinity turned toxic—and how Christianity reconciles the war between the sexes, renovating manhood for good.
There's a sociologist who did a study, where he would ask young men, “What does it mean to be a good man?” They had no trouble answering that: “Integrity, honesty, sacrifice; to be a protector and be a provider; be generous,” and so on. Then, when he'd say, “But what does it mean to be a real man?” they would say, “Oh, no, no, no!—a real man; that's completely different.” -- Nancy Pearcey

Fear. Worry. Pain: They can feel all-consuming. Author and speaker Amberley Neese believes that in the questions Jesus asks in the Gospels, there are answers big enough for all three.
The God of heaven and earth cares about what you care about. The God who made heavens and earth, the God who made the stars; that same God cares about all those things. I think worry happens, worry creeps in, when we take our eyes off of Jesus. I know that’s like the Sunday School answer, but guess what? It’s the Sunday School answer for a reason. -- Amberly Neese

What if your doubts made your faith stronger? Author, speaker, and humorist Amberly Neese explores the questions Jesus asked as a way to reclaim your trust all over again.
What I think is interesting about that is—we teach kids to be like Jesus in so many ways: “This is how you deal with people,” and “This is how you handle this,” and “This is how you do whatever,”—but we rarely give them permission to ask questions and to embrace the power of what those can be. Questions can be holy beginnings of journeys. -- Amberly Neese

An autism diagnosis in his 30s rocked the world of radio host Brant Hansen. Brant gets real about the social and faith-related challenges of life on the spectrum—as well as practical ways to embrace anyone living with autism.
There wasn't a name for it. My mom just knew I was different. Actually, when I got diagnosed as an adult, it was explanatory to her, and she said, “Oh, that explains this. That explains that. That explains a lot of good things, like why you would compile information like you did about everything, and how you struggled with relationships; why you didn't date.” She always loved me, you know? I know that. -- Brant Hansen

Dr. Juli Slattery challenges your assumptions about married sex—and reframes it as a stunning metaphor of God's covenant love.
Where does our identity come from? Does it come from looking inward, or does it come from looking upward, and knowing God, and knowing who He says that I am? If you are not a believer in God, it makes perfect sense that you have to look inward or you have to ask people's advice to figure out who you are. But if we are believers in God and we trust the Scripture, then we find who we are by knowing Him and by putting faith into what He says about us. -- Dr. Juli Slattery

When it comes to wedding planning and “The Dress,” what’s making it pop? (And is there a chance we’re getting things wrong?) Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon offer biblical, practical wisdom for a beautiful now and a forever future.
Men, regardless of how women are dressed, are called to cultivate purity in their hearts and in their minds. That is their responsibility before God to honor Him in the way that they’re thinking regardless of how people are dressed around them. That’s always their call. -- Sean Perron

Want to do relationships differently? Authors Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon point you in the right direction for dating, engagement, or marriage with purpose and depth.
I did not realize how absent-minded I was until I got married, when there was another person counting on me. [Laughter] I remember one time I thought, “I'm going to help make the spaghetti.” This is in the first three months of marriage. I'm in there stirring the spaghetti, thinking “Look at me. I'm such a great husband!” Then my wife comes in after me. This still happens today. She looked up, and there was spaghetti sauce on the ceiling. -- Spencer Harmon

You're dating—but man, do things get sticky. Authors Sean Perron and Spencer Harmon help you approach marriage on purpose, and done right.
One of the things you have to think about with purity is, why are you doing it? Why? And if the motive is, “I am doing this so that my honeymoon will be amazing,” you will be disappointed. Because your category of amazing is probably not calibrated according to God's Word. -- Spencer Harmon

"Duck Dynasty" stars Willie and Korie Robertson laugh at duck call tales, dive into their movie "The Blind," and explore faith, forgiveness, and family. Don't miss their ideas on actively building a culture-changing family legacy.
I think a lot of times you look at the story, and you focus on Phil's repentance because Phil's change was significant. But also, Kay's forgiveness was so significant; and both of those things had to happen for this family to stick together. If Phil had not repented, it's done. If Phil had not changed his life, the family [would be] over. If Kay had not chosen forgiveness and taken Phil back—it changed everything. -- Korie Robertson

You hope to be grandparenting teens for an impact that lasts. But does it look like what you'd think? Authors Mark Gregston and Larry Fowler weigh in on pursuing your grandkids in tough years—in ways that work.
I don't share my opinion unless I'm asked. I think that's the role that, as Larry said, a lot of grandparents get in. It's like, “I've just got to share my opinion.” They don't want your opinion. What they want is perspective. They want to know, “How do you see this and see it differently in light of what they've been taught, applying it to a world that is out of control in one sense?”-- Mark Gregston

Being a stepfather can feel like bathing cats with your hair on fire—but your thoughtful navigation of the dynamics in your home can make a difference that lasts for decades. Author Gil Stuart offers tips on stepfathering thoughtfully, and shaping the kind of family you all long for.
We are the one with the influence. Are we going to use it for good or for evil? I mean, when you think about what the Scripture says: “The power of the tongue is for life or for death.” So, what are we saying? Is it going to bring life, or is it going to bring death to the stepfamily environment? What a place for a hero to step up! - Gil Stuart

Stepdad: It can be a role full of landmines--and at the same time, a role vital and unsung. Author Gil Stuart offers ideas to do it wholeheartedly and all-in within the complexities of your blended family.
Reverse betrayal is the aspect that I have a loyalty to my own children, who I don't get to see as much because of the parenting plan, and in that time, I'm actually connecting with my stepchildren. I'm actually starting to like them, and they're starting to bond with me. In so doing, I actually feel like I'm betraying my own children. -- Gil Stuart

If you're starting to talk to your kids about God's design for marriage when they're preteens or teens—you might be too late. Author and pastor Sam Allberry knows parents need key discussions with kids about the ways God's ideas for marriage get it right—and he's authored a children's book to generate the conversations you need.
If marriage points to Christ and the church, then maybe anniversaries are more significant than weddings. Because anyone can make a promise, but not everyone keeps a promise. And it's the keeping of the promise that really points to the faithfulness of Christ to His people. -- Sam Allberry

In the wake of porn addiction, where you do turn? How do you rebuild trust after such intimate, searing betrayal? Authors Bob and Dannah Gresh share the pervasive realities of their own heartache—and their own rocky path toward healing.
Scripture warns us not to trust in other people. We're only supposed to trust in the Name of the Lord our God. That's who we trust. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him.” What this is saying is that I can trust God with what's happening in my marriage, even when I can't trust Bob. So, I'm going to put all my trust in God. -- Dannah Gresh

Bob and Dannah Gresh's marriage has traveled dark roads of addiction. But they decided to participate in God's redemption story. Together, they discovered something better than romance: a love that endures, and happily even after.
It’s so much easier to pretend everything is okay and to just keep going through the motions. That’s not okay. What that is, is us avoiding pain. Pain is not a problem. It is a gift from God. When you feel the pain, that’s God’s friendly messenger saying, “There’s something that together we can fix if you’re willing to be brave enough and feel the pain.” --Dannah Gresh

Want quality, long-lasting relationships with your kids? Bryan Carter, author of Made to Last, and his wife Stephanie share doable ideas for feeding spiritual growth and unshakable family ties.
“How do we raise our daughter? How do we raise our children well? How are they gifted? How are they wired?” So part of us discovering this strong-willed nature was figuring out how valuable it is, how the leadership gifts were there, how this would turn out later in life. So we had to figure out, “How do we cultivate each of these personalities in such a way that they feel loved, they feel valued?”

You've found the success you were shooting for. Why does it feel so…disappointing? Bryan Carter, author of Made to Last, is joined by his wife Stephanie as they share their own story of success, emptiness, and seeking true significance.
Now, every year, we set goals for our family. Where do we want our family—our marriage and family—to go for the year? So, we set goals as a couple; as parents; financially; the house, kind of what we’re trying to do around the house; spiritually. So, we’re looking at our lives probably through the lens of about six key categories. And we’re saying, “Okay, what does God want to do in our family this year?”

Authors Howard and Danielle Taylor didn't start out thinking they'd run a marriage ministry. They just longed for an intentional, intimate relationship that would go the distance. Hear how their own challenges galvanized a purposeful, more weatherproof marriage.
I definitely think that you have to speak up. You have to speak up. I don’t want to sound cliche that a closed mouth doesn’t get fed, but it’s causing the marriage to implode, it causes your spirit to implode. Nobody has to know anything but you owe it to yourself and if any children if you have any, to your family that’s watching you, they need you to stay together. They need you guys to figure it out. So I think that it’s important to first bring in Christ and pray about it -- Danielle Taylor

Your negative self-talk: It's sabotaging your marriage—and you may not know how deeply. Author Ted Lowe gets real about identifying and confronting the dark side within.
"I cannot tell you the number of times, standing on the sideline with the Detroit Lions at a NFL game over 33 seasons, that we get in the fourth quarter, it’s a close game, and I would have this thought: 'Our team does not believe when the game’s on the line we have what it takes to win. That’s the difference between winners and losers, is you don’t believe it, and your self-prophecy comes true.' And we don’t.
Again, I’m not saying that’s the only reason we lost so many games, but I remember in 1991 when we went almost—one game from the Super Bowl, you could feel the opposite. It was like, “We believe!” I really believe that teams that win believe it before they actually do it, and I think it applies to marriage. "

Could the way you're thinking about your spouse be shaping your marriage in ways you've never imagined? Author Ted Lowe helps revolutionize your marriage…starting with your mind.
The only common denominator in couples that reported the highest level of marital satisfaction—they were basically given a spousal report card and told, “Rank your spouse,” in categories like generosity, kindness, and loyalty; and the ones that were happiest were the ones who ranked their spouse highest in every category than their spouse had ranked themselves. So, I think it’s made up of, you know, “If you could only see you like I see you!” -- Ted Lowe

“Will my kids leave the faith?” It's a legitimate concern. Drs. Sean McDowell and John Marriott reveal why kids leave Christianity, what happens in deconstruction, and how parents can both prevent and respond to faith crises.
Christianity to a young person isn’t this historic 2000-year-old faith that is diverse and believed all around the world. It’s basically the few people who are living it out in front of me, whether that’s Christians they know at their church, whether it’s their parents, or maybe some other public figures that they see. So if they look at these Christians and don’t think their life is captivating and compelling and backing up what they say, a certain urgency with the gospel, then why on earth would they believe it? -- John Marriott

Can deconstructing faith be healthy? Authors Sean McDowell and John Marriott explore the realities of deconstruction—and the need for each of us to wrestle with doubts, questions, and incongruities toward robust faith.
Can I prove to you 100 percent that Jesus rose from the dead? Nope. I can’t and neither can anybody else. Do I think that there is good reason to think that He rose from the dead? I do. Do I think that there are counterarguments? I think that there are, but I find the reasons more persuasive than the counter arguments, and so I choose, based on that, to entrust myself to Jesus every day and try and walk out my life as submitting to His Lordship. -- John Marriott

Identity, belonging: They're burning questions in any teen. How can you feed these in your teen, so their transitions between vastly different stepfamily homes mean they grow stronger, more resilient, and grounded in Jesus Christ? Author Kara Powell discusses the needs of teens in stepfamilies with Gayla Grace and Ron Deal.
There’s 50 different answers, at least, that we could glean from Scripture about who God says we are. But one that we think is really important for young people to know today is that Jesus makes them enough. In the midst of trying to satisfy all these expectations and feeling like they don’t cross that bar—the single word “enough”—that Jesus makes you enough. In fact, Jesus makes you more than enough. -- Kara Powell

Why are people leaving church? And with what we know—what could parents do differently? Jim Davis, author of The Great Dechurching, and church planter Michael Aitcheson offer ideas for shaping kids who want to stay.
If you’re between the ages of, I think it’s 57 and 74, somewhere in there, if you’re between those ages you’re a part of the most individualistic generation that has ever lived. And you’ve experienced the seat of power, likely as a Christian, in way that Christians historically and even today in other parts of the world don’t experience. The norm for God’s people, the early church and the Roman Empire, the norm for God’s church is to live in exile. -- Jim Davis

Why do people leave church? And what can parents know and do so their kids aren't casualties to a mass church exodus? Church planter Michael Aitcheson and author Jim Davis, author of The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back? as the two explore what's happening in the church—and how parents can actively, intentionally shape kids who stay.
For a parent we have to be in community and the church is designed to be that. I mean the church really is. We should have a church family so when we talk about dechurching we would be remiss to not talk about we are saved into the body of Christ, which is the local church. -- Jim Davis

The statistics on the exodus from the church are reason for all of us to be concerned. What do we need to know? Jim Davis, author of The Great Dechurching, and church planter Michael Aitcheson talk about who's leaving, why, and what needs to happen.
About 40 million people live in our country who used to go to church and don't anymore—used to go regularly and don't—and most of that has happened in the last 25 years. That's the alarming part. What was so hopeful is the vast majority of dechurched evangelicals not only willing to return but believe they will return. -- Jim Davis

I used to be someone who is very much a control freak, and recognizing I truly cannot control my life, and it’s so much better when I just release it to Him.

So when we’re just gripping so tightly to everything and trying to make our plan work, that’s when we feel so much frustration. -- Crystal Paine

If your home was emotionally unhealthy, would you know it? Counselor David Thomas offers 5 ways to identify dysfunction in your own home—and constructive responses to choose instead for a lifetime of better relationships.
Research tells us that in the face of failure boys are more likely to point the finger outward and blame someone else [and] girls are more likely to blame themselves. I see evidence of that, not just with kids, but with adults. I can’t tell you how often I sit with moms in my office whose kids are struggling in some way who will say, “Tell me what I’m doing wrong.” -- David Thomas

Anxiety can feel crippling and heavy with shame. Psychologist and author Dr. Ed Welch fumbled with his own anxiety, and eventually, it led him into life-altering encounters with God—who, it turned out, had beautiful things to say.
How can we create a context in our home where children can speak openly? That’s the challenge. If our children are accustomed to being rebuked quickly or corrected quickly, it doesn’t take many of those occasions for a child to say, “Well, there are certain things you’re not allowed to talk about here, and so we don’t talk about these things.” How can we as parents, and how can we as churches create a place where people can speak from their hearts? -- Dr. Ed Welch

Looking for everyday, you-got-this ways to help kids see Jesus? Children's book author Quina Aragon offers practical ideas to work Jesus into your normal, chaotic life with kids.
Maybe when Jael my daughter was a little bit younger but when we had more time to take walks together, but if you’re in a place where you can take a walk I love doing this with little kids. “You see that tree over there? See that bird?” and depending on the age it might just be, “Who do you think made that?” Who made that? When you see an item whether it’s maybe you see a bird or whatever, do you know a story in the Bible that’s like that? And it kind of always goes back to storytelling. -- Quina Aragon

Children's book author Quina Aragon encountered profound hurt in both her past and present. But the God she came to know proved Himself more overwhelming—and inspiring—than her pain.
Kids’ books and stories and even superhero stories are all about how you are the superhero, and you have the superpower within yourself. But we don’t have that power to love like Jesus all by ourselves. Guess what Jesus promised His disciples before He left. He said, “I’m going to leave you with a superpower helper so that you can experience God’s love for you and show God’s love to other people even when it’s hard.” -- Quina Aragon
