Fractured Families at Christmas

Christmas is a time for celebration—but for many families, it's also a time when conflict surfaces and relationships feel strained. In this timely episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow joins Pastor Chris Sasser to answer honest questions from parents who long to reconnect with their adult children, especially those who are far from God.

Drawing from the Never Too Late book and Bible study, Rob and Chris provide biblical and practical counsel for parents wrestling with emotional distance, spiritual discouragement, and relational tension. Whether your child is walking with the Lord or drifting away, this conversation will give you fresh hope and guidance for healing and influence.
