Family Shield

Have you ever lost a loved one? If so, you've dealt with the grieving process. What are the various dimension of grieving? Why do we say that everyone grieves differently? What should we do when we're grieving, and how can we minister to someone who's grieving? Why does knowing our Savior give us hope for the future? Stay tuned today as I interview Greg DeNeal, a licensed professional counselor in the state of Missouri.

This is Coreen Jander, your host for today. My guest for today is Arlene Pellicane, author of Parents Rising: Eight Strategies for Raising Kids Who Love God, Respect Authority, and Value What's Right. Arlene has written seven books and has appeared on the Today Show, Focus on the Family, and Fox and Friends among other major media outlets.

Would you agree with me that Christ-centered family ministry is needed today more than ever before? You don't need to look far to understand why Family Shield's work is needed. God's Word and Christianity are under attack. Biblical marriage is under attack. Life issues are under attack. God's Word tells us as Christians that we must stand firm, from Ephesians 6:14, and use God's Word, which is the sword of the Spirit.

Divorce effects every aspect of your life, emotional, spiritual, and physical. According to Donna Pyle, author of Without This Ring, it feels like amputation without anesthetic. Probably the hardest part to grasp about the whole process of divorce is wondering what happened to the person you thought you married, the plans you made together, and the dreams you shared.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by those who question Christianity? You may know the frustration that can come upon us when we're not able to answer tough questions unbelievers ask about God and the Christian faith. You know what you believe, but you're not able to explain it clearly or defend it. Join us today as I interview Dr. Ron Rhodes, author of Answering the Objections of Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics.

Conflict is one of the most destructive forces on earth; it instigates war, it divides families, it destroys marriages., it can make the workplace unbearable, and it can wreak havoc in the church. How do we learn to deal with conflict Biblically?

Why did Stephen Becker become a Mormon and then later leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints? What do Mormons believe and teach that are in conflict with Christianity and God's Word?

Raising children to know and love Jesus in today's world is a joy, a privilege, and a challenge. Parenting is the most important job you will ever have. How can we maintain a Christ-centered home while juggling jobs, sports, school, and community activities? We find the answer when we rely upon God's power for help, not our own or the world's.

God's plan for the family is that children will be raised by a loving and involved mother and father. Statistics document that children with active and involved fathers are more confident, better able to deal with frustration, gain independence in their own identities better, more likely to mature into compassionate adults, more sociable, more secure, and less likely to show signs of depression. God's Word has much to say about parenting. It also says, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children, instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." Join us today as we talk about the importance of fathers and raising children to know and love Jesus. My guest today is Rev. Matthew Clark. He is the father, husband, and pastor at Ascension Lutheran Church in St. Louis. Today is our Father's Day special.
