The Last Chance Detectives have been solving mysteries for more than thirty years—on screen, on audio, and now in books. As Book 8: The Curse of Calamity Wells releases, hear from creator and author Bob Vernon and editor Thomas Jeffries about bringing the beloved franchise full circle. Discover how the series began, what kept it alive through decades and formats, and how the long-awaited mystery of Mike Fowler’s father is finally resolved.

Today, Mark Gregston explains that parents must look beyond their teen’s behavior to understand the deeper heart issues driving it. Drawing from Proverbs 3:21–24, and a moving story about a past Heartlight student, he illustrates that a child’s anger or rebellion often masks pain, loss, or a longing for love and value. He reminds parents that all behavior — good or bad — is the visible expression of invisible struggles. True connection happens when parents respond with wisdom, empathy and grace, addressing the heart rather than merely correcting the behavior.

God’s plan for creation and His plan for mankind, included His plan for man’s redemption. Even before the heavens and the earth were created, He knew man’s freewill would lead him astray. . . and He had a solution before we even tasted of the forbidden fruit. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie digs in to God’s plan as revealed in Genesis. To understand something best, we need to take it from the top—chapter 1, verse 1 of book #1 in God’s Word.

What are the top two discipline issues you’re facing with your kids right now? Think about it - have you got ‘em? If you want to learn how to develop a game plan to address those specific issues, join us for this program!

Case Study #1 – Reuben Hill (Minnesota Report)

• Summary: The balanced authoritative parent, who gives high support (love) and high control (discipline), typically produces children with high self-esteem, good coping skills, and a positive relationship with parents.

Case Study #2 – Hebrews 12 - Christians A.D. 66-70

• Summary: Discipline is teaching obedience to God and His Word through consistent consequences (actions) and clear instructions (words) in an atmosphere of love.

Five characteristics of discipline:

1. The necessity of discipline = To deter DESTRUCTION. -Heb. 12:4
2. The means of discipline = The ACTIONS and WORDS. -Heb. 12:5
3. The motive in discipline = To express LOVE. -Heb. 12:6-9
4. The goal of discipline = To teach OBEDIENCE or SUBMISSION. -Heb. 12:9
5. The result of discipline = Short term PAIN and long term GAIN. -Heb. 12:10,11

Two key biblical concepts

1) Actions: Consistent consequences

Seven steps to discipline:

1. Clear WARNING.
2. Establish responsibility.
3. Avoid EMBARASSMENT.
4. Communicate grief.
5. Flick the WRIST.
6. Sincere repentance.
7. Unconditional LOVE.

2) Words: Clear instructions

Four ways to use words to bring about correction:

1. Say “no” FIRMLY.
2. CLEAR WARNING of consequences.
3. Use CONTRACTS.
4. Use CONSEQUENCES
