Putting Your Family First, 1
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Thu, Jul 24, 2008
We may not lie or steal, but the Rev. Andy Stanley says many of us are guilty of cheating. How so? Ask yourself: Do you spend more time on work and recreation than you do cultivating relationships with your family? If so, Stanley says, you're "cheating" those you care about most. Stanley encourages listeners to put their families first. The author and pastor offers practical advice on doing so from his book Choosing to Cheat: Who Wins When Family and Work Collide.
"Am I going to take my time and allot it in such a way that it's honoring my family? Or am I going to take my time and use it in such a way that it's honoring to the workplace or to my hobbies or to my outside-the-home recreational interest?" - Andy Stanley

The author of After the Boxes Are Unpacked offers practical advice and encouragement to women who are wrestling with the heartbreak that often accompanies a major move.
"As women, we [think,] 'What about the children? How are we going to adjust? What about leaving behind my friend?' All those feelings that I had - God showed me how, through them, I could minister to other women." - Susan Miller

How Moving Impacts Women, 1
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Tue, Jul 22, 2008
Moving brings many changes beyond a new address. From making new friends to finding a church, adjusting to life in a different community can be challenging. Because women tend to value security and stability, the disruption of moving is typically harder for them than for anyone else in the family. Author Susan Miller explains how women can learn to handle the emotional impact of relocating. Miller offers encouragement and advice from her book After the Boxes Are Unpacked: Moving On After Moving In.
"Bill's off at work, happy as he can be. I get the children situated in school, plug them into soccer. They're happy ... And here I am ... I sat in my living room with all those boxes, and I just cried. I said, 'I am so alone, Lord. Where are you in this move?'" - Susan Miller

Protecting Your Family's Health
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Fri, Jul 18, 2008
MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a strain of staph (infection) that is the cause of a growing health epidemic. That's because it's a "super bug" - resistant to penicillin and other kinds of antibiotics. What is your risk of contracting a MRSA infection? What are its symptoms and treatment? How can you protect your family? Listen in for solid answers as Dr. Daniel Hinthorn, director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Kansas Medical Center, provides the latest medical information about MRSA.
"This organism, MRSA, causes ... probably 50 [percent] or more - maybe 75 percent - of the skin and soft tissue infections that come into the emergency room or come into the doctor's office. It is huge in terms of its impact." - Dr. Daniel Hinthorn

Author: Dr. James Dobson
Thu, Jul 17, 2008
What are some practical things parents can do on a regular basis to impart biblical truths to their children?

Awana President Jack Eggar and his wife, Dona, offer additional practical suggestions and talk about achieving a healthy balance between spiritual training and other activities. The Eggars also offer encouragement to parents who regret missing past opportunities to pass on their faith.
"For those who have regrets, I encourage them to recognize [that] it's not too late to love your kids like never before; it's not too late to communicate to them your love for the Lord." - Jack Eggar

How to Shape Your Child's Faith, 1
Author: Dr. James Dobson
Wed, Jul 16, 2008
An alarming number of young adults who grew up in Christian homes later abandon their faith during the years following high school - leaving bewildered parents to wonder where they went wrong. How can this troubling trend be reversed? What can Mom and Dad do to instill an enduring faith in their children? On today's broadcast, Awana President Jack Eggar and his wife, Dona, offer insight from their years of experience leading the popular youth organization. The Eggars explain why churches and parents must partner together to shape young lives and why parents often overlook the significance of the spiritual influence they have on their children.
"Children may be hearing one thing in the church ... but when they get home - even to Christian parents - if it's not being lived, they get a mixed message ... So it's crucial that we live godly lives in front of our children at home." - Dona Eggar
