Empowering The 21st Century Family

Equipping families to face new challenges

God has a plan for family that is unchanging through the ages. Cultures have come and gone. Empires have risen and fallen, but the family has remained. There are many today who would have us believe that family is changing, being redefined by current standards. The truth is that God's plan for family remains the same as it has always been, even in this 21st century.

Family needs are changing. Families face challenges unheard of in times past. Television, videos, and the Internet have brought the world's influence right into the living room. The innocence of children is under attack as they daily view violence previously seen by few during their lifetime.

Today a child’s fear of losing lunch money to the school bully has been replaced by the terror of classmates carrying guns.  Quality family time is a precious commodity.  Individual schedules make common free time rare.  Eating meals together was once a given, but now must be purposefully planned. Adding to these everyday challenges are the unique ones faced by blended families with alternating custody times and schedules.  Is it any wonder that parents today often feel like they are losing the battle?

Surveys confirm that most parents desire to succeed at parenthood, but feel they are not doing it.  The pull between the demands of life and their desire to be a healthy family can often overwhelm a couple and leave parents with a constant feeling of guilt and failure.
