Family Shield

How do we build a positive relationship with a Jehovah’s Witness? What about family members and loved ones that become involved in the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society? How can we keep the communication lines open but also be ready to share our faith in Christ with them when God opens the door? Join us today as I feature Keith Walker, president of Evidence Ministries. As a missionary to those involved in the Jehovah’s Witness organization, he often meets and interacts with active Jehovah’s Witnesses.

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.

What is Travelers for Jesus? How does this ministry dedicated to carrying out the Great Commission touch lives with the Gospel and encourage people to know Christ and His Word as they travel through the community on their motorcycles? Join us today as we talk with Jim Lajeuness who is the president and chaplain for Travelers for Jesus and Ralph Kelm who is the vice president and a deacon.

What is identity theft? How do thieves steal an identity? How can you prevent this from happening and what do you do if it does happen? Join us today as I interview Katie Koelling, senior counsel for Thrivent Financial within Thrivent Financial's general counsel office. She serves as Thrivent Financial's privacy, anti-money laundering and identity theft officer and manager of its special investigation unit.

Who do you turn to when a family member has strayed from the faith? How do you cope with your own feelings of loss when a family member is losing their way? What resources are available to you when you are seeking help or assistance? Join us today as we explore one organization that has been helping families for over 25 years. In fact we're going to turn the tables just a bit today and talk with Kay Meyer, president of Family Shield Ministries and normally the host of this Family Shield radio program. I'm Mark Frith, one of the board members of Family Shield Ministries and your guest host for today's program.

We don’t need to go far to find hurting people both within and outside of the church. We just need to listen. As we listen we learn about the challenges family and friends are facing in today's world. Here are a few stories about people we've listened to and worked with through the Family Shield Follow-up Services and Response Center.

How do you handle conflict in your home and family? When conflict occurs, how do you resolve it? How might a Christian counselor help you learn to resolve conflict and be reconciled? Join us today as we discuss conflict and reconciliation. My guest today is Dr. Gary Peterson, the director of Graduate Counselling and Graduate Education at Concordia University in Wisconsin.

Your new daughter is precious in your sight. She’s also precious to God. She’s been created, chosen and redeemed by her Savior. She is the princess of the King. How do we raise godly girls?

Middle school involves some really tough, confusing years for today’s youth. Many parents are caught off guard by the changes in their children when they begin the transition out of childhood and into adolescence. Did you ever wonder what goes on in the mind of a middle schooler? Join us today as I interview Cynthia Tobias, the author of Middle School: The Inside Story. We’ll learn what kids tell her but don’t always tell you.

Have you ever prayed for a miracle? Although God always answers our prayers, He doesn’t always answer them in the way we desire. Join us today as I talk with a man who prayed fervently for a miracle. He prayed that the Lord would spare his twin sons who had been born prematurely. God did perform a miracle but it wasn’t the one this man had prayed for. The Lord allowed him to feel God’s peace when he handed his sons over to the loving arms of the Savior. He came to realize the depth of God’s love for us and fully appreciate what the Father had done for all of us when He allowed His Son to suffer and die for our sins. My guest is Rev. Dr. Steven Schave, director of Urban and Inner City Missions and director of church planting for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Office of National Missions.
