Another family meeting with a lot of tears :(
Ashton's moved back home with his parents, so we sent an audio recorder with him to document the FIRST FAMILY MEETING! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this special Family Meeting, Monique and Krista are joined by Dr. Jacob Daniel and Dr. Joe Miller to discuss CFBU's brand new Los Angeles Statement on Race, Justice, and Unity. They unpack why this statement was written, how it differs from the 2018 Dallas Statement, and why the Church desperately needs biblical clarity on race, ethnicity, justice, and true unity in Christ. If you're tired of race being used to split the Body of Christ, this is the conversation you need to hear.
In Episode 135 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis break down why most homes don't suddenly become chaotic overnight.
Kevin joined Monique and Krista tonight on the Family Meeting. There was a LOT to discuss! The Breakdown: ✅ America's education crisis ✅ Controversy at Wylie East High School in Texas where Muslim groups were allowed to distribute Qurans and hijabs during school hours while Christians had to stand on the sidewalk to hand out Bibles. ✅ Life and legacy of the Bob Woodson ✅ Monique shares her new article in the Christian Post and we introduce the Los Angeles Statement on Race, Justice, and Unity. ✅ Teen takeovers Read the Los Angeles Statement here: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/racestatement Read Monique's article in the Christian Times: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/the-one-biblical-truth-christians-are-missing-in-the-race-debate.html
The Family get together to discuss the Sixers season, Daryl Morey, Nick Nurse, Joel Embiid.
Monique and Krista provide more examples of how progressive Christian politicians and pastors use the Bible and their pulpits to promote laws and policies that they believe are based on the Bible. It sounds a little Christian nationalist-y to us.... Read our short essay on Christian Nationalism https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/post/christian-nationalism
In Episode 130 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis give parents a clear, step-by-step system to build a strong, stable home.They break down:Why strong families are built on systems — not motivationHow clear standards eliminate confusionWhy daily structure creates stabilityHow consistent discipline builds responsibilityWhy intentional connection keeps your family strongThe importance of repetition and over-communicationThey also share real-life examples:Setting clear expectations for behaviorCreating rhythms for busy family lifeHolding kids accountable with consistent follow-throughMaking time for intentional one-on-one connection

Monique and Krista react to Biola University's "Think Biblically" podcast interview featuring JP Foster, author of The Gospel in My Black Skin. We discuss the persistent narrative of racial grievance that dominates the conversation. Hosts, Sean McDowell and Scott Rae ask softball questions with little pushback or analysis, raising fresh concerns about whether Biola is truly turning the corner on how it approaches racial issues. Kevin joins the second half of the conversation with his unfiltered take.
We break down the recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and examine the alarming rise of political violence, particularly from the left. We explore how heated rhetoric has escalated into real-world threats, what this third attempt on Trump's life reveals about our divided nation, and how believers can respond amid growing cultural hostility.

They address Donald Trump's controversial AI-generated image of himself as Jesus, Tucker Carlson's claim that “Muslims love Jesus,” and the Pope's recent visit to a major mosque in Algeria. They explain why Christians must exercise strong discernment when it comes to political figures and influencers offering theological commentary, highlighting the critical differences between the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of Islam.
Is someone other than Slacker even allowed to call a family meeting?
This is Annual Family Meeting Sunday. We look back at what God has done through Price Chapel over the last year and look forward to plans for the coming year. And in a short devotional thought we look at 3 lessons from the book of 2 Timothy.

Today, the rise of the Gen Alpha CEO is officially in full swing as Victoria Beckham’s daughter, Harper Seven, launches a beauty brand at 13. Monz, Stacey and Amelia ask at what point we decided teenagers need a corner office and a dedicated PR team instead of just... a hobby. Plus, is ‘bagsing’ a spot in the playground slide queue ever acceptable, or have we officially lost our collective marbles? We unpack the world of park politics, optimisation and whether it’s just another form of snow-plough parenting. Also, is it time to start running your home like a large corporation? We’re diving into the ‘family AGM’ trend and why the shareholders in one host’s house are very unhappy. Our Recommendations:

We dive into the week's biggest stories on Christian Twitter: David French's New York Times piece praising Texas Democrat James Talarico as "decent" Christian. Plus Talarico's Holy Post interview pushing a "big tent" for pro-life Democrats. We unpack why Talarico's approach resembles progressive Christian nationalism—flipping the script on power, justice, and biblical truth while soft-pedaling abortion and trans issues. We also cover the underreported NYC incident: an anti-Islam "Stop the Islamic Takeover" protest outside Mayor Mamdani's home, countered by an ISIS-inspired bomb attempt. We discuss Islam's compatibility with the West, the failure of multiculturalism, rising extremes, and why biblical justice demands a better path.

Texas Primary results: Jasmine Crockett loses Senate primary to James Talarico, Prop 10 crushes Sharia law ban with ~95% YES vote.

Toward the end, we discuss two exciting new programs from CFBU.
Marjie Longshore and Paige Trevor are seasoned parent educators. Part of their curriculum is teaching the importance of holding regular family meetings. They also recognize that while parents are keen on the idea of family meetings, they also tend to give up quickly on this importance practice, for a variety of reasons. With research into the problems of consistency and compliance, and the ingenuity to solve for it, Marjie created the Family Meeting Kit as well as an online community platform to help support parents. We discuss all the benefits she has to offer families with these new creations and why they work.

Highlights include: • Gavin Newsom and his "I'm like you" 960 SAT moment; Was it racist? • 2026 State of the Union address: IVF affordability; "we ended DEI" • Questioning media disparities in missing persons coverage (e.g., intense focus on Nancy Guthrie vs. ~2,300 U.S. children reported missing daily) • Trans Minnesota lawmaker argues that porn access should remain available for queer youth because it is potentially "educational" Find out about CFBU's inaugural Ambassador cohort: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/ambassador
Are you too busy reacting to what's coming instead of proactively planning?In this episode of Life of And, Tiffany Sauder dives into the importance of proactive planning to manage the chaos of daily life. She shares how she sets aside time each week to organize her family and work commitments through two essential meetings: the planning meeting and the family meeting. Tiffany explains how these meetings, scheduled on her calendar, help her prepare for the week ahead, ensuring she stays on top of her responsibilities without becoming overwhelmed.She discusses how setting clear expectations for her family eliminates surprises and helps everyone feel more in control, especially during busy seasons. Tiffany also highlights her “no same day solving” rule, which prevents last-minute stress and allows her to manage requests from her family in a calm, organized way. By the end of the episode, Tiffany provides a simple framework for setting up your own planning and family meetings, giving you tools to stay ahead, minimize surprises, and create a smoother, more intentional week.You'll walk away with a framework to:Implement weekly planning and family meetings for smoother daysSet clear expectations and eliminate surprises for your familyProtect your time and energy by being proactive instead of reactiveCreate a predictable and organized week with intentional decisionsDownload the Family Meeting Agenda hereFor more from Tiffany:Follow Tiffany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany.sauderLearn More: https://www.tiffanysauder.com Ready to build your own Life of And?

The stationery scramble matters… but not as much as your child’s heart. In this powerful back-to-school episode, Justin and Kylie share the real checklist that sets kids up for confidence, calm, friendships, and resilience—without over-engineering the morning routine or forcing a perfect bedtime. Whether your child is starting school for the first time or changing schools for the fourth time, these strategies make Week 1 smoother and the whole year emotionally healthier. KEY POINTS The basic supplies are not what define success—keep them simple and stress-free. Three non-negotiables before Day 1: emotional check-ins, “who’s got your back” planning, and relationship connection. Why rehearsing the morning routine and enforcing strict early bedtimes are overrated. The 4-Part Real Checklist that changes the entire school year: How Can I Help? — support their goals instead of setting them. Daily Check-In Questions that build resilience, kindness, and social insight. Friendship Audit — understanding who they spend time with and how to support healthy social worlds. Activity Opt-Out Audit — letting kids quit activities that drain them and choose ones that light them up. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “When kids define success on their terms and know we’re in their corner, they’re amazing.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Personal Progress Interviews (PPI) Daily Check-In Questions for connection Friendship Audit steps Family Meeting framework ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Hold a relaxed emotional check-in before school starts (in bed, at the beach, on a walk). Clarify “who’s got your back” at school—teacher, counselor, friend, parent. Ask one Daily Check-In Question at dinner or bedtime. Run a Friendship Audit: learn names, build contact, create unstructured hangouts. Run an Activity Opt-Out Audit: “If we weren’t already doing this, would you choose it today?” Give permission to drop activities that feel like obligations, not joys.
