In segment one, we process Luke 15: 11-32. Families still contend with the same challenges that faced this father and his two sons. We validate the differing perspectives of the father and his elder son, & explore where these perspectives come from. In segment two, we explore what makes joy so important, & how it differs from happiness. 

Today's show has three segments. In the first segment, I make the case for how we as families struggle with some of the same principalities and horrors that were present in the final days of John the Baptist. In segment two, I ask our teenagers to share why loving your family is so important, even if they have hurt you in some way. The third segment offers a brief invitation for listeners to continue supporting us and spread the word. 

Also,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND!!!

This is a brief episode with one segment. I shared some thoughts about how God chooses at times to reveal certain things within our families, and not just the ones that we are related to by blood. I composed today's show at the tail end of May 1st, 2021, which would have been my maternal grandfather's 89th birthday. We love you, Scraps!

Today's show has three segments. The first segment explains the experience of living God's way vs living our way. During Z-Time, we have a father and son conversation about worshiping in vain. In the final segment, I talk about pitfalls associated with dichotomous thinking. 

We are living in some challenging social times. Each of the three segments in today's show deal with accountability. When it comes to social justice, the only fingers that I pointed were directed towards scripture. We can all do better, so will we? 

This episode is a brief acknowledgement of my faith & appreciation for what Jesus did for the entire world. This is also my intentional celebration for the holiday that we all recognize because of it. People can always find things to do with the next person's faith. Make sure that your faith brings you closer to God & not them.

Life is a work in progress. In the first segment, my wife & I compare & contrast our nuclear vs church families. During Z-time, I ask the teens to tell me something that they would never do, even if there is no law against it.

Families are precious & powerful. In today's show, my wife & I explore one of those passing thoughts that successful authority figures come to terms with. 

Today's episode is a collaboration between myself (host) and my father. We look at three sibling relationships from Genesis (Cain & Abel, Ishmael & Isaac, Esau & Jacob). As we process what happened during Biblical times, we also discuss the decisions and opportunities that await us as modern parents.  

In segment one, I offer a personal testimony of how a little bit of knowledge and a lot of self-righteousness cost me plenty in my youth. During Z-Time, my sons each describe a specific manifestation of righteousness. Segment three is a final word on the first two segments followed by a description of the new novel.
