Planning a Christ-Centered Christmas
It is easy to have a Christmas without Christ. There can be food, fun, family, and lots of presents … but no expressions of worship and love for Jesus.
In this episode, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow will encourage you to plan ahead with practical and meaningful ways to help your entire family grow in your love for Jesus this Christmas season.

Can Your Child Stand Alone?
The day is coming, if it has not already come, when your child will need to stand alone for Christ and for the truth. It is wonderful to have a Christian family, Christian friends, and a Christian church around you. But sometimes, our faith requires us to stand firm for Jesus all by ourselves.
In this episode, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow talk about the important parenting principle of learning to stand alone for Christ.

My Kid Would Never Do That!

In this episode, Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow talk about the need to be honest with ourselves about the current state of our child’s character in order to best love them and help them grow in their faith.

Starting (or Re-starting) Family Worship
