Focus on the Family
Loving a Prodigal
Many Christian parents have seen their children, who were raised to follow the Lord, give up their faith when they were in their teens or twenties. This is a big problem that both parents and the church have to deal with.
Mainly Music

Practice Gratefulness
An attitude of gratitude is something we all need to have and be able to teach our children. We know that being thankful has physiological benefits, but it’s also good for our mental health and happiness. It is especially important for those of us with faith to practice gratefulness.
Identifying and Dealing With Stress
Stress is a common and normal physical reaction to things that are challenging or new. It has both mental and physical aspects, and is something that we all have to deal with.
When Kids Reject our Faith
It’s a tough question, but what should we do when our kids reject our faith? Often what they really want is to explore life on their own terms. But it can be challenging to know how to respond, especially when we see them making choices we don’t agree with.
Monitoring What We Watch
Does what we watch influence our behavior? Does it change how we interact with the world, and more importantly, how our children interact with it? Kids can be so easily influenced and pick up on things, even if they don’t always understand the meaning and complexity behind it.
Are You Really Ok?
Did you know that as many as one in five Australians are affected by mental illness every year? This is a problem that we cannot afford to ignore. The impacts are being felt across our communities, both on the health system and the justice system.
Dad’s Toolkit
It’s a fantastic opportunity to reflect on the value of family, and in particular the role of dads, as Father’s Day approaches. What are your strengths as a parent? Are there some areas you could grow in? How do you begin your journey of becoming the parent God has called you to be?
Helping Your Child Through Their First Relationship
We all want to be approachable as parents, but it may be difficult to maintain composure when our kids come home to tell us they have their first boyfriend or girlfriend.
Banning Mobile Phones in Schools
When it comes to our kids, mobile phones can be both a great blessing and a bit of a curse. Schools are just beginning to outlaw them, but not everyone agrees with the decision.
Tips for Travelling with Kids
Going on holidays with family can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a lot of work. One of the best things you can do is plan ahead.
Teaching Kids Responsibility
How can we teach our children to be responsible? It’s never too early for them to start and we should be wary of doing things for them that they can accomplish for themselves.
Developing a Sense of Adventure in Kids
How do we develop a sense of adventure in our kids? For some of us it comes quite naturally, but for others it can be more of a struggle.
Personalities in Parenting
God created us all with our own unique personality, but how does that affect our ability to parent our children?
The Importance of Date Night
We all know life can get busy, but it’s so important to take the time to pursue your spouse and find ways to make them feel special.
Experiencing Grief and Learning to Live with Loss
Grief. It doesn’t just hit you when you have lost a dear one. It hits you when plans change, hopes are dashed (even not permanently so), and when in transition. We sure have had a lot of grief to deal with this season of COVID. Find out what is grief, how we process it, and how we help ourselves and others going through it
Self-care is not Selfish
Self-care is not selfish! How do we serve others when we have nothing ourselves to give? Brett and Kate share about the importance of self-care.
Making Daily Choices to Love Your Spouse
Ron and Deb learnt early on that love is always a choice, not an emotion, and that truly loving someone requires that you prioritise your spouse over other demands.
Connecting with Your Busy Spouse
We all lead very busy lives, and oftentimes our marriages pay the price.

Giving Your Marriage a Second Chance
Juana abandoned her husband, then met Jesus — and when she tried to reconcile, he wasn’t interested! Hear their dramatic story of reconciliation.
Making Your Kitchen the Heart of Your New Marriage
The kitchen. Not just the wife’s domain. Not just is a functional space to create food for nourishment. It can be the place for relational nourishment too!
Taking Courageous Steps to Save Your Marriage
Ann White’s marriage was in desperate trouble, but she was terrified to let anyone know. Hear how God helped her to break through dysfunctional patterns and finally ask for help. And yes, there is a happily ever after.
Creating a Godly Vision for Your Marriage
