Rock Solid Families

As Abraham Lincoln famously said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand."  This idea is not just true for a nation, but also for a home.  Rock Solid Radio takes on the subject of being united in the home.  Mom and dad coming together to parent and love their children with unity.  This sounds easier than it actually is.  
Merrill and Linda give concrete ideas that parents can begin immediately to help them build unity between each other.  This unity will be what provides the foundation for the best possible outcomes for our children.  
Whether your marriage is solid and together, or the marriage is ended in separation, your kids will thank you for taking the time to make unity a priority.  Do this for your kids and it will positively impact them and generations to come.

Merrill and Linda, like every other couple around the world, are trying to figure out how to best survive and even thrive during the COVID-19 lockdown.  Yes, our primary goal is to keep our family healthy and safe.  But, while trying to do that, we often find our relationships being strained and less than healthy.  Stress can bring out the very best in people, but it can also bring out the very worst. 

During this show, Merrill and Linda talk about how to make your marriage work and even thrive during this difficult time.  Building a strong family team will give your kids an entirely different memory for what will go down in modern history has a "terrible time".  You can give your kids a memory of unity, strength, courage, hope, and a faith in God that will lift them throughout their lives.

As we continue to work through the changes in life due to Coronavirus, we have an opportunity to decide how we are going to allow this to affect our attitudes.  There is no doubt that many of us have had to sacrifice. Loss of jobs, security, health, even social interaction.  But, we all have a decision to make:  "How will I walk through these changing times?  Will I be a victim or victor?  Will I hang my head and think, "why me", or will I stand strong and say, "let's roll"?"  

Merrill and Linda take time to walk through these conversations and to challenge themselves and the listeners to be the best version of themselves.  One thing is certain, only true and lasting HOPE is found in faith in Jesus!  He is our provider and comforter in all situations.  Do not hesitate to put your pride aside and ask him to be your provider or hope.  When you do this you will see your lemons begin to turn into lemonade!

These are unprecedented times we are living in right now.  The Coronavirus is making its way around the globe and leaving us with much uncertainty and vision of what the days ahead may be like.  

Merrill and Linda discuss what this time looks like for your family.  Yes, there are many challenges, but there are also many opportunities for growth.  When we are stretched and find ourselves in uncharted waters, we often must become more resourceful.  The two greatest resources we have are God and Family!  

Now is a great time to recognize these resources and do everything you can to build and strengthen the functioning of these resources.

Merrill and Linda take on the questions that parents have concerning healthy boundaries for their kids.  These are excellent questions that all of us parents must manage at one time or another.  

No, your kids may not like your boundaries now, but someday they will thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Merrill and Linda had the opportunity to speak to a group of parents about a variety of parenting topics.  One in particular was; Who's The Boss?  Meaning, are you leading your household or are your kids leading your household?  

This podcast covers several of the questions that came out of the presentation.  We tried to answer the questions in a way that our listeners to generalize the answers to their situations.

In this episode of Rock Solid Radio, Merrill and Linda take on the many questions that our parents came up with during our latest parenting presentation.  This particular episode centers around questions that parents have with screen times and their children.  

Screen time, whether it's television, phones, computers, or video games, have become a significant part of our families' lives.  In many ways it seems so benign, but the reality is that we are seeing symptoms and costs that few saw coming.  Sedentary lifestyles, attention deficit concerns, poor social skill development, heighten numbers of depression and anxiety.  We are at a point where we as parents can't not just look the other way.  We must become educated and take a firm stance on how we are going to allow screens into our homes.

Do you remember when you were first dating your spouse?  It was hard to see anything in them that you didn't like.  Now, fast forward to today.  Now, it may be difficult to see anything in them that you do like. Ugh!  This is scary, but we see it all too often in our relationships.  
In this show, Merrill and Linda discuss what we actually allow ourselves to see in our spouse.  It is amazing how our focus can change and before you know it, you have a difficult time seeing the good in each other.  This is exactly what Satan wants in your relationship.  We all have flaws and weaknesses, but we also have gifts and strengths.  Just because we are married for a longer period of time doesn't mean that our gifts and strengths vanished.  The only thing that actually changed is what we allow ourselves to focus on.  
Every couple can benefit by listening to this show and taking on the challenge that Merrill and Linda present.  Stop the fall of your relationship by grasping on to the vision you once had for the person you said "I do", to.
