It seems that culture is changing faster than we can imagine, and it can be overwhelming to think of how we can make a difference and where to start. But what if all we need to do is focus on just one person at a time? On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton discusses this concept with Kyle Idleman, senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church, and the author of One at a Time: The Unexpected Way God Wants to Use You to Change the World. Hear how Kyle’s life was changed one day after reading Luke 8, and how he learned to view serving others with a “zoom lens” focus.

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.
