In Job 5:7, we read this: “man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward” (ESV). Life is full of challenges and hardships that can weigh heavily on us. Chris Bruin explains that the Scriptures offer a profound source of hope and comfort. By bringing our anxieties to the Lord in prayer, He promises that His peace will guard our hearts and minds. When we turn to the Word of God, we can transform our troubled souls into vessels of hope.
Perhaps you are like me. Somehow you came across Dr. James Dobson’s advice as a young adult who felt broken and was grasping for wholeness—and don’t we all have some type of brokenness? (Romans 3:23). Maybe you were raised on his counsel as your parents sought practical, biblical guidance to wrestle against a cultural tsunami that has left our children awash in confusion and great turmoil. Or, you might be a parent or grandparent who’s dealing with the terrible twos or tumultuous teen years.
When we’re in situations where God’s goodness is hard to see, we can feel confused, lost, and uncertain. Chris and Taylor Bruin share powerful insights on facing those seasons with faith and perseverance while finding strength in the waiting.

Religious freedom stands at a critical crossroads in America.
For your kids to really learn about Jesus, there are important things to consider. For instance, it’s not enough for them to only hear about Jesus at church. They need to learn about Him from you at home too. But there’s much more to think about, which Brenen and Morgan Beeler explain in this video. Their personal insights are taken from lessons in the “Early Training” devotional from the book, Night Light for Parents, by Dr. James and Shirley Dobson.
Parents can easily forget that their children belong to the Lord, not to them. This thinking can lead to misplaced priorities, frustration, and even burnout. Chris and Taylor Bruin share a powerful perspective on parenting as stewardship, offering wisdom and encouragement for raising children with God’s purpose in mind. Don’t miss this inspiring message!
In any romantic relationship, there’s the potential to be hurt or rejected. But those fears are often compounded when you’ve had parents who’ve split up. If you’re an adult child of divorce, you may be curious to know if their broken bond affects how you choose to date—or don’t—and why you do what you do in relationships.
