  • The Spiritual and Emotional Influence of Parental Fear

    The Spiritual and Emotional Influence of Parental Fear
    Feb 18 2026
    The stats of anxiety, depression, and stress on Gen Z (ages 14-28) are scary and higher than ever before. That’s not hyperbole.

    What have been the cultural, familial, and individual influences at work, and what can parents of Gen Alpha (ages 0-13) learn from where we find ourselves?

    We believe that parents hold the keys to influencing the next generation. And there is much more hope than might appear at the surface.

    But the way through is by first addressing what may be our greatest adversary: Our own parental fears.

    In this episode, we ask the question, “Why are we doing what we’re doing as families?” We address issues like the self-fulfilling prophecy, the role of epigenetics in child outcomes, and the spiritual laws that influence our decisions.

  • Kids, Fear, and Helping Your Adult Children with Max Lucado

    Kids, Fear, and Helping Your Adult Children with Max Lucado
    Jan 28 2026
    Epigenetics is real. In other words, there’s a trickle down effect onto our kids based on our beliefs, feelings, and the environment in which we raise them.

    In this episode, Pastor Max Lucado joins the show to talk about helping parents meet children in their anxious thoughts. Having written multiple books on anxiety, Pastor Lucado has a new 90-day devotional called Calm Thoughts for Kids, and joins the show to talk about what he’s seeing as a grandparent and how parents today can help their kids with their anxious days.

    Having just become a grandparent for the sixth time, and about to be the seventh time, Pastor Lucado also talks about how grandparents can come alongside their adult children in raising their grandchildren.

  • The Love Language That Matters Most with Dr. Gary Chapman

    The Love Language That Matters Most with Dr. Gary Chapman
    Jan 21 2026
    What is the love language that matters most?!

    That’s the focus of this week’s episode, as our friend, Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, joins us to talk about his new book by the same name, The Love Language That Matters Most.

    In this episode, Dr. Chapman drops some serious one-liners to teach us how to practically identify and love our spouse in their own dialect. Sound intriguing to you? The insights are profound.

    Here are some of the gold nuggets Dr. Chapman shares:
    • Why our agenda takes precedence over our values
    • How to know what your spouse needs to really feel loved
    • Why the misbehavior of both children AND adults grows out of an empty love tank
    • How to be a great listener
    • The three ways to help your children feel loved
    • And the most sobering question Dr. Chapman asked of himself while raising his kids
    As he stated, “The question is not, ‘Do you love your children.’ The question is, ‘Do your children feel loved?’”
