Family Shield

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.

How do we begin the process of spiritual nurture in the home? How can we help our children and grandchildren learn to love God and grow in faith? What are some fun family activities and devotions that we can do with our children or grandchildren? Join us today as we talk about helping our children grow in faith. I’ll share some fun family devotions you can use in your home.

You’ve probably seen depictions of angels in popular tv shows and movies, and you’ve read about angel encounters. But really, most of these accounts often have little in common with the Bible’s portrayal of angels. How can you tell what is real and what isn’t?

Who was Nehemiah? What did he do? What can we learn about prayer and perseverance from his story in the Old Testament? What does God teach us about prayer in His Word? Why should we pray through life’s challenges? This is Kay Meyer, president of Family Shield Ministries and your host for today’s program. My guest today is Donna Pyle, author of a new Bible study - Perseverance: Praying Through Life’s Challenges.

So, you're going to a national Christian conference in Salt Lake City. You know you’ll have many opportunities to interact and get acquainted with Mormons while you're there. You want to find ways to witness to them as the Lord opens doors. What can you share with a Mormon when you only have a few moments? Today on Family Shield we’ll talk about how to respond and witness in love to those involved in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My guest today is Bill McKeever, President of Mormon Research Ministry.

What does the Family Shield Counter Cult ministry do? How are we helping individuals and their families? Join us today as I talk about this area of our ministry, and later do an interview with one of the families we’ve been serving.
