How do you stand firm as a godly parent when your child’s crisis brings you to your knees?
Every parent faces storms—but not every parent is prepared to battle through them. In this powerfully practical “best of” episode, Catherine tackles one of the toughest and most urgent questions every Christian parent will encounter:

How do I parent through a crisis with my child—especially when their choices break my heart?

Joining Catherine is Laine Lawson Craft, author of The Parent Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal and a veteran mother who persevered through fifteen years of prodigal seasons with her own children. Laine’s faith-filled wisdom and firsthand experience anchor today’s conversation, offering hope and actionable strategies for every parent walking through the valley.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to Stop Enabling Destructive Behaviors:
  Practical steps for evicting enablement and setting boundaries that promote genuine change.
• Why Self-Care Is Essential for Parents in Crisis:
  Discover why caring for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s vital for your endurance.
• Tools for Battling Shame, Fear, and Judgment:
  Strategies to guard your mind, take thoughts captive, and focus on God’s promises.
• Navigating Outside Opinions and Gossip:
  Insights for responding to unsolicited advice and protecting your heart.
• Finding Community and Support:
  The importance of Christian counseling and safe, faith-filled relationships.
• Praying with Authority Over Your Children:
  Join Catherine and Lane for a powerful time of intercessory prayer—learn to stand firm spiritually for your child’s future.

Why It Matters:
Crisis doesn’t have to derail your life or your child’s future—or your hope. Laine’s story and Catherine’s scriptural encouragement reveal that no prodigal is too far gone for God. Your prayers and faith set the stage for miracles—and even battle-scarred parents can discover new strength.

Featured Guest:
Lain Lawson Craft is a speaker, faith leader, and author specializing in spiritual strategies for parents of prodigals. Her book, The Parent Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal, equips parents with practical tools for restoration and warfare.

Notable Quotes:

• “You can’t be the parent and be the kid’s best friend. That’s where boundaries start.”
• “When we declare God’s Word...we keep hope alive for our prodigal child.”

The Wilderness E7 — By the time we get to the Prophets in the Hebrew Bible, the meaning of the wilderness is well established. It’s a desolate, dangerous place where humans can’t survive. And it’s a place where God meets with his people to reform their character and deepen their trust in him. But Israel’s prophets remix the meaning and imagery of the wilderness in surprising ways that prepare us for the story of Jesus. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the wilderness in Hosea, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, discovering unique portraits of a prison, romance, tragedy, and promise of a new heart.

Bill Maher sits down with Fargo star and Shameless legend William H. Macy for a wildly funny, unfiltered ride through the craft of acting, poker, politics, and the chaos of Hollywood. Macy opens up about his unconventional college years and the creative spark that came from meeting playwright David Mamet, leading to a lifelong obsession with truth in performance. The two swap stories about fame, risk, and the art of staying grounded in an industry built on illusion. And Bill tries rye whiskey – and somehow turns it into a debate about corn.

ABOUT BILL MAHER

Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last fourteen years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 40 Emmy nominations.

Nehemiah 11:1-12:26

We have been in the midst of a rapid urbanization of our world. People have been moving to the cities in increasing numbers, and the trend is likely to continue. Nehemiah, on the other hand, had just the opposite problem as the rebuilding of the city was completed. Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he presents Nehemiah’s plan for repopulating the city…and applies those principles to the Christian presence needed in our cities today.

Now this morning as we come to the second chapter of Ephesians—I read you the chapter, but we’re looking only at [the] eleventh verse through t

This program previously aired on November 11, 2023 following Hamas’ October 7 raid on Israel.
 
 GUEST: CHRIS KATULKA, Radio Host, Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry

A “moral equivalency” is argumentation that attempts to make two opposing sides equal, when in reality one side is far more immoral than the other.

Example: Israel and Hamas. The Islamist group Hamas, based in the Palestinian territory of Gaza, barbarically slaughters 1400 civilians in the October 7 raid on Israel and immediately those who side with Palestinians make the moral equivalency that Israel is no better with their racist, oppressive, colonialist, genocidal, apartheid state.

A better moral equivalency to Hamas murdering non-combatants, including children, would be the American zealots who advocate for the “right” to kill pre-born children at any time and for any reason during pregnancy. In fact, the latter group has been much more effective from a death toll standpoint than the former. And the people of Ohio just voted for abortion to be a “right” in their state constitution.

In last week’s program, Chris Katulka of Friends of Israel Gospel Ministry clarified the disinformation (i.e. lies) that so many believe and espouse about Israel and the Jews, such as, they are occupying Palestinian land. Chris detailed the ancient history of Israel with God establishing for them a far larger area of land than their currently inhabit and how in 1948 they were unexpectedly granted a portion of their historic homeland to settle.

This week in part two of the interview, Chris will explain what is behind the widespread anti-semitism in the world, how Christians should obey God’s command to bless the descendants of Abraham and Sarah (the Jews) despite their current God- and Christ-rejection, and what these events mean for Biblical prophecy.
