It’s no secret that families today are struggling. Pulled in a dozen different directions daily by jobs, schooling and extra-curricular activities, parents and kids often feel disconnected from each other, and the distance can produce devastating effects.

Brad Mathias, author of the new book, Road Trip to Redemption  (Tyndale, June 2013), understands this all too well. He thought everything in his family was fine. A busy, contented dad, he had vaguely noticed that Bethany, his middle child, had become withdrawn and moody, but he assumed it was part of being a “teen” and didn’t look any deeper.

Join Michele and Brad on The Life’s Dash at 2pm ET for an engaging conversation of his family’s “what-are-we-thinking” trip across the country to reach their daughter, reconnect as a family, and the unexpected blessings along the way.
