How can congregations encourage parents, grandparents and godparents to celebrate milestones in a child's faith walk? What can congregations do to partner with the home? Join us today as I interview Jill Hasstedt and Krista Young on the topic of celebrations, milestones and family ministry.

God's plan for the family is that children will be raised by a loving and involved mother and father. Statistics document that children with active and involved fathers are more positive, better able to deal with frustrations, are more likely to mature into compassionate adults, more sociable, secure, and less likely to show signs of depression. God's Word has much to say about fathers and sons. It says, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children, instead bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." It also says in Malachi 4:6, "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers." Join us today as I interview Rev. Jim Buckman about the importance of the father-son relationship. He's pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Lakeforest Illinois.

Each year thousands of husbands, wives, sons and daughters are converted by the Watchtower Society, convinced that it is God’s organization. As Christians we must help Jehovah's Witnesses look at the truth about the organization they trust so much and help their families learn to witness effectively to their loved ones. David Reed believes the best way to do this is to help the Witness learn how the Watchtower Society has shared false prophecies, changed doctrine and has misled followers to their harm. We need to help Jehovah's Witnesses learn this organization is not a reliable guide to follow. Today again my guest is David Reed, author of How to Rescue Your Loved Ones from the Watchtower. He's a former Jehovah's Witness, he was an elder and presiding overseer while a Witness for 13 years. Today we’ll continue discussing his book, the chair’s advice about how to reach your family member, plan your strategy, collect convincing evidence and use techniques that work and present that material effectively.

How can we rescue family members and loved ones from the Watchtower Society? Why do Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Bible through Watchtower tinted lenses? Why do they only see in the Bible what they've been told to see by the leaders of the Watchtower? And how can we reach them for Christ? Family Shield Ministry’s Counter-Cult Ministry has ministered to and helped train hundreds of family members over the years that are trying to get their loved ones out of this organization. It's hard and challenging. Today we're going to begin a two-part series that will help you learn how to rescue your loved one from the Watchtower. My guest is David Reed - a former Jehovah's Witness and elder who after leaving the organization has written many books and has helped thousands of Christians rescue loved ones from the Watchtower Society. Today we’ll focus on advice he shares in his book - How to Rescue your Loved One from the Watchtower.
