God’s presence in your child’s life continues, even where yours cannot.

5 ways to help your teen navigate emotions and stress

1. Emotions need to be on the bus, but they cannot run the bus. You can encourage your child to find ways to stay centered so they don’t become overwhelmed by their feelings without invalidating the emotions they’re experiencing.

2. We shouldn’t hide all our own emotions from our kids either. Instead, we should aim to model it well for them.

3. When our teen comes to us with their big emotions and stress, look at their face. Listen to the pace of their talk. Listen to the sound of their voice, try to understand the deeper things that may be driving their feelings.

4. Always offer to pray for your child. Pray that God would give them peace, that He would give have the grace to help them.

5. Catch your kids doing good, but catch God doing good work in your kids, (and remind them of it!)

Do the benefits of AI outweigh the cost to humanity?

[Focus on the Family @FocusFamily]

AI has no moral compass. It can create results that are unexpected and can be detrimental to human beings and not care about that detriment. To AI, there's no good or bad to human existence. It'll just do things because it's programmed to do those things. That's why we should be concerned. We should be wary of AI, always, because it doesn't have a moral compass.

Pray this prayer with your family today!

"This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. We are God's beloved, and His love for us is greater than the ocean. Because God is for us, nothing can be against us. We are able to do all things through Christ who empowers us today. Emotions, line up. Will, line up. Finances, line up. We will have a great day—a day when we can expect exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to God's power that is actively at work in us. Amen."

Whether we like it or not, artificial intelligence is now a part of our everyday lives.

Sure, there are positive uses, but the negative ramifications should never be disregarded.

We have to develop our discernment when we use AI and technology so that we never allow AI to rob us of our thinking.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
(Romans 12:2)

“But the Lord says, ‘Forgive, forgive, forgive.’ And sometimes I don’t want to. I really don’t want to. I’m worn out with just being criticized all the time, all the time.
But no, have I allowed something to come between me and Jesus?
Is there anything for you? A hurt, an unresolved issue, unforgiveness.
We need to remove anything that is standing between us and Jesus.”

Your wife isn't yours to control—she's God's daughter, entrusted to your care.

Pastor Paul Washer reminds husbands that biblical leadership isn't about power or manipulation. It's about discipleship, prayer, humility, and helping one another become more like Christ.

"God is guiding your marriage. Marriage is more than your love for each other. It has a higher dignity and power, for it is God’s holy ordinance, through which He wills to perpetuate the human race till the end of time."
(excerpt from "A Wedding Sermon from a 1943 Prison Cell", Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

"Give your burdens to the Lord,
and He will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall."
Psalm 55:22

God will not leave you, He is with you.
