Rock Solid Families

Are you all in?  Are you fully committed to your marriage? What does it look like if you are?  Or, what does it look like if you aren't?

Merrill and Linda take on the subject of being fully committed to our marriages.  These are just words until you actually find yourself in the middle of a challenging time in your marriage.  Then, what do you do?  Are you entertaining thoughts of leaving?  Are you thinking about someone else?  Are you thinking about what your spouse needs to do rather than what you need to do?  

The greatest gift you will ever give yourself, your spouse, and your kids are the gifts of a strong marriage and family.  God's Word supports this and encourages this.  We must be humble and willing to seek his way and not ours.  

As you listen to this show, think about what you can do to serve your spouse and family. By doing so, you will be serving Christ.

When we think about the 4th of July, we often describe patriotic feelings and happenings.  Picnics, parades, fireworks, family, and friends.  What a great time!  But, in this show, Merrill and Linda discuss what patriotism truly is and how to teach it to your kids.  

Patriotism is about thanks and gratitude for what you received from those that came before you. In the history of our country, we have had times of difficulty and events that we are not proud of.  But, there are plenty of other times that we look back with great appreciation for what others have given us.  

History judges a generation by how well they left the nation for the generation to come.  Did they leave a bigger mess to clean up or did they leave them something strong to allow them to continue to build?  As parents, what are you teaching your kids about patriotism, especially in these days?

How do you determine what is important in your life?  How are you going to raise your children?  How do you treat your neighbors or handle people in the workplace? These are just some of the questions that many of us just assume we know the answer to or we figure it out as we go.  

Do we truly know right from wrong?  Or, do we allow our culture to determine what is right and wrong?  Do we change our rules or the enforcement of them based on our mood or the events of the day?  

Merrill and Linda take on this subject and encourage our listeners to ground their life on a strong foundation.  As a Christian, that is the Rock of Jesus Christ!  His words are the words that we build our foundation on.  His words do not change based on our mood or the current events of the day.  His words will carry us through the storms of life and provide us with a safe refuge.  Peace and hope rise from the security of knowing that Christ carries us through all the storms.

We are experiencing a difficult time in our nation of racial tension and divisiveness. It seems that everyone has a solution and if not a solution, at least an opinion.  Merrill and Linda tackle this difficult subject with not all the answers, but at least with a mindset of trying to learn more and open our minds and hearts.  The old phrase of WWJD, What Would Jesus Do, is what they try to keep at the center of their conversation.  
Each of us has room to grow and learn.  

The importance of starting race education in your home is critical.  With the mindset of WWJD, and then teaching our kids from this mindset, we actually can make this world a better place.

Linda Hutchinson takes time during this episode to talk with her husband, Merrill, about what it is to be a Strong Dad.  More now than ever, our country needs the strength of good dads.  Much of what ails our nation comes back to the family and more specifically whether we have good leadership in the family.  
During this show, Merrill and Linda discuss the absolute importance of having both mom and dad working together in the home.  Both bring their God-Given strengths and both are needed.  When one is missing it creates instability and uncertainty in the family.  
For this Father's Day and for every day, let your fathers know how much you need them.  Let them know how much you appreciate them.

Jon Tisevich along with his wife, Kelly, shares their story. Jon is the pastor at Whitewater Crossing Christian Church.   He has a mission to reach the unchurched.  This mission is grounded in his own experience of someone reaching into his life and showing him to Christ.  That someone was Kelly.  

Jon's passion runs strong for the lost and he wakes every day with the purpose of trying to reach real people and give them real hope.  He tried most everything else, drugs, sex, fame, and money, but found himself empty.  He came to realize that his emptiness could only be filled with the love and grace of Jesus Christ.  

Jon and Kelly have joined together to share the love of Christ.  They have taken their god-given talents and have been using them to motivate and encourage people to find a better way in a relationship with Christ.

Do you have an attitude of gratitude?  Sometimes it seems that we have every reason in the world to feel sorry for ourselves.  Corona, job problems, illnesses, divorces, bad finances, whatever it is, we all seem to have something that can pull us down.  But, is it possible to flip the screen and look at everything that we have that has blessed us.  What about all the people that have sacrificed before me to give me the great country that we have?  What about those people that taught me about faith in Jesus Christ?  What about that person that connected me to the person I married and now have created a family?  
 
In this show, Merrill and Linda take a few minutes to discuss not just Memorial Day, but all the things that we choose to remember as blessings in our lives.  This is an active process of doing things to remind us of what we need to be grateful for, even in difficult times!

Take a minute and thank someone that has blessed your life.

The teen years can be very difficult, for both the parent and the teen.  Hormones are changing, demands and responsibilities are changing, life just isn't as simple as it was when you were a kid.  How about faith?  How does your teen now look at his/her faith?  When they were a kid they likely adopted your faith and everything seemed to be fine. But, as a teen growing into adulthood, faith often starts to take on a different meaning for our teens.  

In this show, Linda and Merrill tackle the subject of teens and their faith.  They explore what things parents can do to help their teens move through this process.  Authenticity, relationships, meaningfulness, and many other subjects come into helping our teens through this time.

Thank God for Moms!  At Rock Solid Radio, we understand that families need both a mom and a dad,  but on this show, we take the time to praise our moms.  Especially during this crazy Covid-19 time.  Schedules, E-Learning, Sibling Relationships, and the day to day functioning of the home has drastically changed. Sometimes you just have to laugh at the craziness. 

We know that in large parts, much of the management of the home falls on the shoulders of our moms.  Thanks to all of our moms for all they do to keep our families strong!
