With forty years in the TV business and from personal experience, David Murrow understands the negative effects from overuse of screens. He discusses positive and negative uses of various media and offers great practical advice for you as a parent as you guide your children and manage screens in your home. Then every life matters—and every child is a gift from God. When Mauricio and Christin Rosa learned their preborn son had a life-threatening diagnosis, they faced choices no parent ever wants to face. Yet, through fear and uncertainty, they chose to trust God and to choose life. Their story is one of courage, faith, and the unshakable belief that every life has purpose and value.

She shares her story as a testimony of God’s peace, redemption, and the lasting hope found in Him.

Comedian John Branyan celebrates the sensibilities of those who live in the Midwest……what some people from the coasts refer to as “Flyover Country.” The “coasters” think their big cities and beaches are special, but the Midwest contains most of America’s food! After riffing on a variety of subjects, John closes with a very encouraging word picture about the value of every human life. Then Tim Shoemaker shares how he revitalized his devotional time with his sons. You’ll learn how to share important life and spiritual applications through some “kinda dangerous” object lessons. We hope all parents listening will be encouraged to pass down their faith to the next generation.
