Special days give families an opportunity to honor each other, celebrate one another, and strengthen family identity. Ron Deal and his guests present ideas on how to creatively use a family calendar to strengthen family relationships throughout the year.

Sometimes in stepfamilies, we take things out on each other that really are about someone or something from the past. Listen to Ron Deal talk with Shelby Abbott on how to keep unresolved issues of the past from damaging relationships in the present.

What does the Bible teach about divorce and remarriage and how does it apply to God's people? Listen to Ron Deal's conversation with Dr. Rubel Shelly on a subject that's hard to understand in Scripture and often disagreed upon in Christian circles.

Hey, sounds like family to me.

Family is a central theme in the Bible. Maybe it should be in your church as well.

"Yeah, Ron, I'm an only child who has seven brothers and sisters."

If you were lost, would you ask for directions?

"Are you part of the main family or just sort of stuck on the side?"

Drowning in a sea of emotions? You're not the only one.

Ron, my family is living proof that dysfunction breeds dysfunction.

Yellow flashing lights mean proceed with caution.

Spring weddings are just around the corner. So, how do you prepare to be a blended family?

It's time for a dating attitude adjustment.

Does your church have a ministry to stepfamilies?

Maybe it's time you reached across the aisle.

Have you ever tried to talk someone into loving you?

I'm pro-hospital. Aren't you?

Did we just make our kids part of a blended family?

You know what? Well-intended bad advice...is still bad advice.

We just had to stay committed to getting through those early years.

Hit debt with a snowball.

So, if both parents die who gets your kids?

A pre-nup. You want us to do a pre-nup?

A pre-nup. You want us to do a pre-nup?

Be careful. Don't turn a stepfamily problem into "Us vs. You."

Ok, folks, let's be careful with our words.
