What is Wicca? How Can We Shield Our Loved Ones?
What is Wicca? Why does Wicca, or witchcraft attract so many converts? What should we do if our daughter, wife, or another loved one gets involved? What are some of the warning signs that we should watch for? Why is tolerance so important among Wiccans? And how is the fact that Wiccans don’t believe in sin impact our ability to share our faith with a Wiccan? God’s Word warns us against divination and sorcery. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says, “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, casts spells, who is a medium or spiritualist or consults with the dead.” Join us today as we learn about Wicca and how we can shield our children, teens and loved ones from getting involved. Caroline Alexander is our expert guest today. She has an undergraduate degree in elementary education, and a graduate degree in theology from Boston College in Massachusets. She has researched and lectured on Wicca since the 1970s. Caroline has been a guest on many television and radio programs including On Mainstreet and Woman to Woman.

Families Transformed Through the Gospel of Christ
How can meeting physical, emotional and spiritual needs open doors to share the Gospel? How do we respond with love and point people to Jesus Christ when they struggle with relationships, parenting, marriage, communication, physical illness, addictions and a myriad of other issues today's families face? God has established two institutions--the family and the church. Would you agree with me that these two institutions are under attack in today's world? Together we can take up the shield of faith and use the spiritual weapons God has given us. This includes the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This is Kay Meyer, President of Family Shield Ministries. Today I’ll present Families Transformed through the Gospel of Christ.
