  • An answered prayer

    September 6,2024 episode was an answer to prayers. I love my church family but as my life changed I knew something was missing and I couldn’t figure out what or why. The honesty knowledge and wisdom was just what I needed. I come back to this particular one often. I share it every chance I get. I love this space and the podcast. I’m very particular I’m sure as we all are about who we listen to and why. I’m happy to be able to add this podcast in as a part of my spiritual walk, bible study and ma... more

    Dave and Ann are REAL, honest people and having both husband and wife perspectives is so valuable. They are funny, and every interview is engaging and points me to Jesus. Couldn’t ask for more.

  • Favorite Podcast!

    I listen to a variety of podcasts and Family Life Today has always been my favorite! Ann and Dave are always laughing with each other and the people they interview, so I always feel like I’m entering into a living room of people who are having a blast yet learning about the Lord with vulnerability—and I’m invited! Though I’ve never me Ann and Dave, there podcast makes me feel like I know them and they are some of my mentors as I navigate being a young mom and wife.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Christian Deconstruction: Why Faith Unravels—John Marriott
Q: And here's the question, are kids leaving the church?
John Marriott explains that surveys show significant declines in Christian affiliation, driven by a combination of personal doubt, cultural shifts, and a lack of durable faith transmission, but also emphasizes strategies parents can use to listen, validate questions, and guide children toward a durable, personal faith.
Disappointed With God: When It Gets Personal—John Marriott
Q: What is the most important thing a parent should do when a teenager says they can't believe anymore?
Respond with unconditional love, affirming they will always be part of the family, keep lines of communication open, and invite them to journey together without demanding agreement.
When Someone You Love Walks Away From God—John Marriott
Q: Is there value in parents joining their children on the journey to explore truth, even if they don't have all the answers?
Yes, he suggests that parents should acknowledge uncertainty, learn alongside their kids, and critically engage with both sides of the argument to model thoughtful inquiry and trust in a reasoned faith.
When Someone You Love Walks Away From God—John Marriott
Q: What should parents do when their kids come across challenging arguments online?
Marriott recommends setting up a framework for evaluating online content: pause, assess reliability, compare with Christian responses, and explore answers together with their children, rather than shaming or shutting down the discussion.
How Do We Pass Our Faith to the Next Generation?: Collin Outerbridge
Q: What practical steps can parents take to foster faith in their kids amid cultural pressures?
Parents should engage in ongoing conversations, monitor influencers, and cultivate environments where faith is evaluated with grace and curiosity rather than confrontation.
