Hour 1: Behaviors The Destroy Families
There is no such thing as a perfect family or an easy family. We all make mistakes that hurt our family members and we’ve all been hurt by those we love. Today, our guest will address the top conflicts that cause relationships to become strained or broken. While every family has issues, what really matters is how we deal with them. Are we working in a way that resolves problems? Or are we allowing them to fester and explode? The healing in your family can begin with you. Join us to hear practical tips based on research, biblical principles, and observations of what has worked in families.
Hour 2: God On The Brain
Are we divinely “wired” to have God on our brains? Our guest today will provide a timely theological, scientific, and philosophical assessment of the human brain, displaying the many ways in which the Gospel informs a distinctly Christian understanding of cognitive science.
