We begin a new season of our family podcast by taking a look at the history between David and his son Absalom. 

This show has two segments. The first segment focuses on the importance of courage. In segment two, we discuss a couple of ways to interpret Matthew 7: 21-23.

The first segment speaks to why it is important to consider mental health professionals in some circumstances. The second segment talks about giving vs receiving and how to fight against mental fatigue. 

Today's show had two segments. The first segment is a message encouraging endurance & grace during trying times. The second segment (Z-Time) includes some teen testimonials & humor in the form of an acronym.   

This episode advocates the importance of Christian fellowship. 

Segment one is a salute to all fathers and a closer look at the challenges of some important biblical dads. In segment two, (Z-Time), the teens talk generally about what it feels like to have siblings    

Segment one explores how family leaders should model different types of strength and authority for the young. Z-Time processes two different times in Luke chapter 20 where Jesus discusses authority.

There are times when the truth taps us on the shoulder, pokes us in the ribs or dumps ice cold water upon our heads. The first segment explores how our families can be negatively impacted by contempt in our hearts. Z-Time explores the philosophical question, "Do people really change in their core?" 

Recorded on May 29, 2021, today's show has two segments. The first segment incorporates The Beatitudes, James 1: 1-2 & Hebrews 12:11 into the work of families. In the second segment, I invite our teenagers to take a stab at a grownup question "Why do we suffer?" 

On the one hand, I respect modern sentiments such as: "The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." However, there is also an important concept out there called "Faith." It is a necessary ingredient for healthy families. This dynamic is the focus of today's show.
