Building Strong Families

In this episode, Pastor Chris Gordon and Rev. Dr. Jon D. Payne tackle the many challenges that face the family unit today. They look at how society has worked tirelessly to deconstruct biblical values through the public school system, the obsession with youth sports, and the-ever growing invasion of social media. So, how are Christian parents to get a handle on all of these distractions? It doesn’t have to be a daunting or difficult undertaking. Listen in as Jon and Chris discuss a few simple ways to keep Christians on the right track, and how it’s never too late to begin to build a family on a strong, Godly foundation.
