How do you deal with your ex spouse? Are your exes remarried? Can you be in the same room with your ex? On today's episode our hosts answer the most common questions they get about divorce.

Are you still making excuses for why you aren't where you'd like to be? Is it possible you are modeling that victim mentality for your children? Today our couple is discussing the importance of the present and what scripture teaches us about living for today.   Some days, parenting can be downright challenging. Christian Parenting's founder, Janet Denison, just released a devotional book called A Great Calm. It provides short devotionals based on Scripture that will strengthen your life for the challenges you're in or will eventually face. When the worries in parenting and life come, you can ground those thoughts on the truth of God's words found in Scripture and trade chaos for calm. With the strength of Scripture, you can experience the great calm of Jesus in every circumstance.    God doesn't want us to live out our lives through a lens of worry or fear. And although living with “no worries” isn't possible, it is important to make the choice to trust our worries to the One who is able to calm the storms.   So please request your copy of A Great Calm today at cpgive.org, as there are only a limited number of copies available.

Whether you personally or your children struggle with low self esteem, this is a must listen episode. Join our hosts as they discuss how you can begin to speak life over yourself and find truth in who God says you are.

But here in this one statement, Jesus makes it real simple. Love God. Love others. That's it! And when you and your family take the Love God, Love Others challenge, each week you'll get a few pages on a portion of the great commandment to equip you for the week ahead. You'll get selected Scriptures and points of truth for your family to reflect on together.
