Ron and Trina Alleyne have been married for 17 years and live in Florida with their 6 beautiful children.
Ron is a medical doctor serving as the director for Wellstar’s Center for Best Health in Atlanta. He grew up in Trinidad and Tobago and moved to the US at the age of 18. He had some exposure to the gospel at a young age, but didn’t surrender to Jesus Christ until after college graduation.
As a stay-at-home mom, Trina has focused much of her time on raising and schooling her kids. The Lord saved her at the age of 25 and helped her escape a downward spiral of sin. She has a deep passion for fashion and design. After getting a degree in fashion design and marketing, she worked for Russell Athletic. She also has a degree in Christian Ministry from The Master’s University, teaches Bible studies for women and children, writes devotionals (Jesse Tree and Hope Tree), blogs, and sermon notebooks, and has taught teenagers about fashion from a biblical worldview (Fashioned for Christ).
Together, Ron and Trina serve their church and community and have a strong desire to help families grow in the grace of Christ.
Dr. James Dobson said, “The natural reaction to hardships or circumstances is to say, ‘Lord, is this the way You treat Your own? I thought You cared for me, but I was wrong. I can't love a God like that.’ It is a tragic misunderstanding.” God doesn’t owe us an easy existence. So how can we trust Him in challenging times? In this reel, Ron and Trina Alleyne explore how the Lord works when life becomes difficult and overwhelming.
Unexpected expenses have a way of popping up when we’re not able to afford them. A broken arm, car accident, and any number of unforeseen circumstances can deplete our finances if we’re not prepared. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne share how they made some tough decisions with spending habits, and how they get through difficult times through careful planning.
God calls Christians to “be holy in all we do” (1 Peter 1:15). Holiness means we are to be “set apart” by doing things according to God’s standard and not the world’s, including how we handle our finances. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain how this should affect our thinking about giving, saving, and spending, and also apply to what we teach our children about money.
As our society moves further away from God and His Word, peace and tranquility are rare commodities. The stress caused by our divisive culture weighs heavily on many, resulting in depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Suicide rates are also skyrocketing. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain how you can avoid getting caught up emotionally with all that’s going on around you.
Sometimes God’s presence is so real that it seems like we could touch Him. But other times, when nothing makes sense, it may feel as if He is far away. In those difficult days, it can be hard to trust Him. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne share how they dealt with a very dark period in their marriage. Their story will encourage your faith in your Heavenly Father and His divine purposes.
Some moms and dads feel guilty over everything that goes wrong for their kids. This can eat away at their confidence and affect how they parent. Instead of leading biblically, they react with emotion. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne bring out truths from Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book Night Light for Parents (page 224) to explain how to overcome this guilt.
According to 2 Corinthians 4:8, Satan works hard to drive us into despair and hopelessness. Our whole demeanor might even appear defeated, which can have a detrimental effect on every area of our lives as well as our family's. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain how they resist discouragement in their family and turn difficult times into character-building lessons for their children.
When you teach your children about the Bible when they’re young, it makes a vast difference in how you parent them as they become teens and young adults. Since they’re already familiar with God’s Word, it’s not always necessary to quote Scripture when they sin or just make simple mistakes. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain how you can gently remind your older kids of what they already know to be true. The Alleynes use examples from their own family to demonstrate.
Every parent makes mistakes, which can cause feelings of guilt. This can lead to one’s spouse and children being affected, and eventually, it can create division in the home. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne explain what to do with guilt in parenting and how to use it to build relationships.
When a child is heading in the wrong direction, it’s easy for Mom and Dad to feel lost and alone, not knowing how to deal with the crisis. In this video, Ron and Trina Alleyne provide insight on what to do, and explain that all parents have access to helpful resources.
