What a  fun conversation this was!  Merrill and Linda teasing each other about She Sheds and Man Caves.  But, this conversation does not always lead to fun.  In fact, we often see this topic leading us to problems within a marriage or family.  

Merrill and Linda take on the importance of personal time and space.  Every person has their own unique personality traits and interest.  When these are not nurtured and given attention, people tend to fall away and even withdraw.  

During this show the topic of taking care of your personal space and interest is stressed to be very important.  But, we must be able to have proper context and priority of these things.  We must ask ourselves questions like; Who is my interest impacting negatively and positively?  How much time is it taking from my marriage or family?  What is the cost to the family?  

Answering these questions helps us to learn how to put forth the proper protection and boundaries on the things we say we care about.  See what you think when you watch She Sheds and Man Caves.

It's not often that you hear of a priest being referred to as a "Rock Star".  But, Father Meyer from All Saints Parish, in Northern Dearborn County, has that level of popularity.  The most interesting thing is that he has this notoriety not for playing Rock music, but for being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.  

Father Meyer was welcomed into the studio of Rock Solid Radio to discuss the importance of being involved in community.  As a priest he sees it as a top priority to go outside of the walls of the church and reach into peoples lives.  He is deeply involved as a track and cross country coach in the area high school.  As a result, he has had the opportunity to speak into the lives of hundreds of young people since his time in the area.  

Yes, he does talk about Jesus, but more importantly he shows Jesus to all he encounters.  Listen in as Father Meyer calls on all of us to speak into our community and build the next generation.

Trends are part of life.  What's hot, what's not?  Most of our trends have little lasting impact. Whether it's style of clothing or the latest phrase or saying.  However, sometimes, we come into a trend that does carry a heavy impact.  

During this show, Linda and Merrill delve into the trends they are seeing walking into their office at Rock Solid Families.  Whether it's vaping, gender identity, or the latest approach to dating, these are things that our teens are working through.  Listen in as these trends are discussed to see how you can help your teens manage the latest thing!

Like it or not, disagreements are part of daily life.  We all know how difficult it is for two people to agree on just about anything.  Disagreements can be exhausting, frustrating, and ultimately lead to destructive conflicts.  But, they don't have to!

During today's show, Merrill and Linda discuss some of their own disagreements and how they had to approach the disagreements in order to win the marriage.  That's the key!  Winning for the sake of the marriage, not the sake of SELF!  When you understand what you are arguing for, you often discover that it is not necessarily for the good of the marriage, but only for your own good.

Do you know about Truth At Work?  What an amazing coaching opportunity! 
Recognizing that you need help is much harder than most people think.  In fact, most of us wait way too long before we actually reach out and seek counsel.  This is especially true in the business world and even more so among high achieving individuals.  High achieving individuals often are very competitive and frequently very good at hiding their weaknesses from their competition.  They play their cards tight to the chest and never give an indication of holding a bad hand. 

The truth is, at times, we have all held bad hands.  Bad situiations, circumstances, things simply not going our way.  This is where we actually have to learn to get better at what we are doing.  This is what Truth At Work does!  
Mark Wages, President of Truth at Work - Cincinnati Region, discusses how the Truth at Work process works to coach people in the business world.  The incredible and powerful process is based in the Christian Faith and follows Christian principles as it grows and stretches each individual.

If you are feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward with your next play, consider contacting Truth at Work.

Many people believe in a god or some form of higher power. But, as Christians, we are called for more. We are called by the Greatest Story Every Told.  We are called by the life of Jesus!  In this show, Linda and Merrill get down to the evidence of why Jesus is the ultimate reason for HOPE!  There is nothing mysterious or magical about Jesus.  His life was foretold many years before he stepped foot on the planet.  The reason why his life would be.  The type of life he would life. And, the meaning to all of us for his life.  
As stated in John 14:6  - Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth, and the life. the only way to the Father is through me. 

This is so because of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.  When we understand what the implications are for these words, our life is forever changed.

Are you producing the fruit in your life that you desire?  How about the fruit that God desires for you?  In this episode, Merrill and Linda encourage us to take a good look at the soil we are trying to plant seeds in.  i.e. our hearts.  
If we are trying to live a fruitful life, but our hearts are not fertile for growth, we will be lacking in our yield.
  
In the parable of the Sower, Christ encourages us to examine our hearts and to understand what kind of heart we have and what kind of heart it takes to produce a fruitful yield.  We are in control of fertilizing and prepping our hearts for a bountiful harvest.  When we recognize this, we can more clearly understand how we need to take care of our hearts and nurture a mindset of growth.
