Celebrating the Green Family and the 50th Anniversary of Hobby Lobby – Part 2

July 29, 2022

For David Green and his son, Steve Green, family has always been a priority, and that value is something they pass on to their employees at Hobby Lobby. When the Affordable Care Act mandated that businesses provide contraceptives to their employees in 2012, the Greens refused to put a pre-born baby’s life in jeopardy, despite a threatened million-dollar-per-day penalty. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Steve Green, president of the beloved craft store, reveals that while they prayed that God would deliver them, like Daniel in the lion’s den, they were also prepared to suffer like Job. In 2014, God delivered them through their victorious Supreme Court ruling.

Celebrating the Green Family and the 50th Anniversary of Hobby Lobby – Part 1

July 28, 2022

In 1970, David and Barbara Green took a $600 loan to make miniature picture frames to sell out of their home. Two years later, they opened their first store: Hobby Lobby. Today, Hobby Lobby has nearly one thousand stores and over forty thousand employees across the United States. On today’s edition of Family Talk, David Green and his son, Steve Green, explain how they see retail as an avenue for ministry. David also expounds upon his conviction to give away large sums of Hobby Lobby’s profit, keep the stores closed on Sundays, and place Christ-centered, full-page newspaper ads on Christmas and Easter. Steve, who became president of Hobby Lobby in 2004, affirms God’s call on the Green family to be wise stewards and bold evangelists in all of their endeavors.

Raising Worry-Free Girls – Part 1

July 7, 2022

Sissy Goff, a counselor and author of Raising Worry-Free Girls, says anxiety always involves an overestimation of the problem, and an underestimation of self. On today’s edition of Family Talk, she warns parents not to rescue their daughter, which only serves to validate her anxiety. In essence, a parent might say, “You’re right, sweetheart, your concern is too big and you’re too small. You can't do it.” Instead, it’s critical to tell her, “You are capable. And I believe in you!” That will build her confidence, empowering her to become more resilient and independent.

Millennials in America: Insights into a Generation of Growing Influence – Part 2

June 1, 2022

On today’s edition of Family Talk, researcher George Barna continues to discuss his latest findings on Millennials to our own Dr. Tim Clinton. Barna reveals that 25-40 year-olds tend not only to reject the Bible as truth, but they also subscribe to the idea that truth comes from within. Ironically, most of them still consider themselves to be Christians. To Millennials, being a believer has nothing to do with Jesus, God, or the Bible. Rather, it’s just about being a good person. However, if they encounter authentic Christians whose lives have been transformed, they will listen. While we are sobered by the overwhelming statistical data that proves most Millennials lack a biblical worldview, we must remain encouraged that as Christians, we can offer them hope through our personal testimonies.

Millennials in America: Insights into a Generation of Growing Influence – Part 1

May 31, 2022

Millennials in America are not only redefining sexuality, but our national values as well. On today’s edition of Family Talk, researcher George Barna explains to co-host Dr. Tim Clinton that the reason why people ages 25-40 are spiritually adrift is because nine out of ten grew up in households without a biblical worldview. No wonder 75 percent don’t have a clear purpose, and only 20 percent believe all life is sacred. Due to their secular experiences, Millennials are prone to give up on marriage, on having kids, and even on life itself. But authentic, caring Christians can easily point them toward the Lord and Heaven.

Redeemed: My Journey After Abortion

May 25, 2022

Did you know that African Americans comprise of only 12% of the American population, but black women account for 40% of all abortions in the United States? The number one killer in the black community is not police brutality, drugs, or black-on-black crime. It’s the intentional killing of a human life inside the womb. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Toni McFadden explains that she aborted her baby when she was 18, scared and alone because she believed the abortion industry’s lies. After turning to Christ in college, she committed to chastity until marriage. Today, Toni and her husband, who was the father of her aborted baby and came back into her life years later, have four beautiful children. She now serves as a compassionate and bold voice for the voiceless.
