Adam and Mary Cuevas married as teenagers, welcomed three children by the age of 21, and endured years of marital turmoil marked by conflict, adultery, and an on-again, off-again relationship. Everything changed when they surrendered their lives to Christ. Through Scripture, prayer, fasting, and the transforming power of God's love, their marriage was restored, and they began serving together in ministry. Years later, they recognized that although their marriage had been healed, their now-adult children still carried wounds from those difficult early years. Refusing to accept that brokenness would define their family's future, Adam and Mary began declaring God's Word over their bloodline and have since witnessed remarkable healing, restoration, and generational redemption. Join us for this inspiring conversation about the life-changing power of God's Word to restore marriages, heal families, and rewrite a family's legacy.

In this special Father's Day edition of Battle Plan for Broken Families, Dr. Charli explores the spiritual battle surrounding fatherhood and the family unit. Looking at both Scripture and American history, she examines how cultural shifts, war, generational trauma, absent fathers, and changing family structures have weakened the role of fathers in modern society. Through biblical insight and practical encouragement, Dr. Charli challenges listeners to move beyond viewing Father's Day as a once-a-year celebration and instead embrace a lifestyle of honoring fathers, grandfathers, mentors, and spiritual fathers. She reminds men that God's design for fatherhood is rooted in love, instruction, faithfulness, and spiritual leadership.
