God made men and women different — and truly understanding their distinctions is key to a healthy marriage. Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm break this down with guest Michael Foster. They discuss why men often carry burdens silently, why women tend to communicate more contextually, and how a woman’s cyclical hormonal reality differs from a man’s more stable pattern. Along the way, they unpack “disappointment dynamics” in early marriage, the temptation to despise or judge one another, and why learning to live with “understanding” is essential (1 Pet. 3:7). Their takeaway: embrace God’s design, and your home will be stronger for it.

the last century, churches around the globe have traded the biblical doctrine of family life for worldly pragmatism. This change has led to broken homes and dysfunctional families. To reverse course, the next generation must understand and reclaim what God created the family to be. Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss a new catechism designed to help families in this quest. Using a simple question-and-answer format, it gives robust but concise definitions of what a family is and how God designed the home to function. Foundational Scripture verses are given for each topic, along with family discussion questions and a suggested hymn and memory verse.

Justin grew up in rural Tennessee, working tobacco fields with his father. He loved laboring outdoors with his dad, yet his mom took him and his siblings to church, where Justin heard the Gospel. Around 12, he answered an altar call and was baptized—but in his teen years struggled with his faith. Seeing his younger brother’s own anguish over salvation, Justin knew he had to get right with God. Confessing his sins, Justin was rebaptized. John Piper’s sermons on Romans deepened his grasp of sovereign grace, and in time he committed his life to pastoral ministry. Husband to Tilly and father of three, Justin serves as elder at Grace Baptist Church in Hartsville, Tennessee.

The Western church is in shambles. It has become lukewarm and compromised because of a love for the world, a lack of an awestruck fear of God, and a watered-down view of His grace and sovereignty. In answer to this crisis Kevin Swanson has issued an urgent call-to-arms in his new book, Strong: An Urgent Call to Strengthen the Things that Remain. Pulling no punches, he calls out Christians to reject escapist pursuits—be it through alcohol, sports, the Internet, or other off-ramps from reality—and pursue a stronger grace, a stronger faith, a stronger church, and stronger families.
