Conflict in marriage can often feel like an all-consuming and explosive cycle that eats away at peace. It’s essential to acknowledge past experiences that contribute to these negative cycles. Ron (a licensed marriage and family therapist) and his wife Nan describe how self-regulation and retraining the brain's triggers can help bring restoration and healing in a marriage. The couple shares their own journey through the tragic loss of their young son and how these principles impacted that difficult process.

Have you ever heard someone say, “People can’t change”?

This week on The Alex McFarland Show, recorded at the NRB Conference in Nashville, Alex welcomes author Rose Ann Forte for a powerful conversation about true life transformation.

Through Christ, the trajectory of a person’s life can be completely rewritten. Past mistakes don’t get the final word, and new purpose is always possible. Change may not be instant or easy, but with faith, perseverance, and surrender, God can shape something entirely new.

Stay the course. Trust the process. Let Him work.

Segment 1

• A federal court just disrupted abortion pill access—does this finally close the “mail-order” loophole?

• Lawmakers press the uncomfortable question: if you advocate abortion, will you actually defend the methods used?

• Graphic realities surface—what does it say about a nation that funds and normalizes this?

Segment 2

• Are cultural elites trying to turn your kids against you—and calling it “justice”?

• A new push claims older generations are the problem… but is this just recycled Marxism?

• What happens when society blames grandma instead of bad policy, debt, and inflation?

Segment 3

• Why are pastors apologizing for Scripture—and what does that reveal about modern preaching?

• If God commands something the culture hates, who do you trust: your instincts or His authority?

• One word—“likewise”—could reshape how you understand roles, submission, and obedience

Segment 4

• Are churches discipling kids—or just entertaining them to keep families coming back?

• What if youth ministry isn’t broken—but fundamentally misaligned with Scripture?

• Could older believers—not programs—be the missing key to lasting faith in the next generation?
