With a disregard for absolute truth in today’s culture, it has become essential that Christian families spend consistent time immersed in God’s Word. Pastor Michael Youssef, author of Hope for This Present Crisis, grew up under a socialist dictatorship and yearned to one day breathe America’s “air of freedom” inspired by its Christian heritage. Now a U.S. citizen, he’s become increasingly alarmed by the radical socialist agenda being taught in classrooms, and Christians being denied free speech.

Bringing Up Boys

With so much confusion about the role of men in society, it’s no wonder we have questions about how to bring up boys in the right way. Why are so many young males in crisis? What qualities should we be instilling in our sons? The culture has vilified masculinity, and as a result, an entire generation of boys is growing up without a clear idea of what it means to be a man. To help parents confront this challenge, the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute has developed a new 10-day email series based on Dr. Dobson’s best-selling book, Bringing Up Boys. It’s designed to equip you to wisely lead your sons to become godly men.

World-renowned pastor, Dr. Michael Youssef, author of Hope for This Present Crisis, urges pastors to return to an orthodox, biblical Christianity. He explains that a watered-down gospel preached from fear-filled pulpits leads to parishioners willing to conform to a sin-stained world.

Stages of A Woman - II

When “menopausal misery” hits, women can experience hot flashes, headaches, anxiety and sometimes even deep depression. In this part 2 discussion, the late author Jean Lush explains that as a woman’s menstrual cycle ceases, her body changes and she will often lack energy, be on edge, and can have frequent, exhausting mood changes. Lush counsels husbands to be extra supportive during this time, and tells women they can look forward to greater energy on the other side.

Connecting with Your Kids in the Age of Digital Disconnection

In 2021, having the old “birds and bees” conversation with your kids is no longer sufficient. In this age of smartphones, you’ll also need to talk with your teen about the dangerous world of sexting and pornography.

Additionally, thanks to the Axis website, which features over 300 parent-empowering resources, you can develop an ongoing conversation to connect with your teen’s mind and heart.

Mom Strong - I

Between the isolation of COVID-19 and the craziness in our culture, moms today can feel disconnected and overwhelmed. Heidi St. John, author of Becoming MomStrong, reminds mothers to get into God’s Word, because we can't pass along to our kids what we don't possess ourselves.

Motivating Your Child to Learn - I

Young children have a God-inspired curiosity about the world around them, typically prompting a flood of questions. But with parents busier than ever, the danger is that we either ignore these questions or belittle them.

Tribute to A Praying Mom

Fern Nichols was at her wit’s end, trying to deal with a rebellious, wayward son. Though in despair because of Ty’s worldly choices, she stayed on her knees in prayer for him. A former teacher and founder of Moms in Prayer International, Fern understood the power of Deuteronomy 3:22, which declares, “Do not be afraid; the Lord your God Himself will fight for you.” Thankfully, Ty was transformed by her prayers and God’s love, which brought him to repentance.

The Joy of Good News - II

Some people feel constricted by God’s rules, fearful that they’ll be missing out on living the “good life.” But in this Part 2 edition, humorist Ken Davis draws from his personal experience as a pilot in explaining that unless he abides by and respects the rules of aviation, he can’t expect a successful flight. Similarly, a man wedded to his compass truly has the freedom of the sea. And ironically, obeying God’s “rule book” isn’t constrictive but actually liberating!
