Ten Keys: Future (w/Dr. Alan Posey)
Dare to dream big. Chase your dreams. This is a dream I've had since lunch (for you Office fans). There's no shortage of platitudes about the importance of following your dreams. But is it all helpful advice? What does Scripture have to say about the significance of the future when it comes to raising kids? Dr. Alan Posey joins Whitney Capps and Russ Greer to help you think about your kids' hopes and dreams (or even your own) and how you can help make them a reality.We'd love to hear from you!

Changing the White Noise (w/Dr. Evan Posey)
Influencers are a dime a dozen. And much of the time, the products or ideas they peddle are not particularly significant. But with the recent death of Charlie Kirk, it's reasonable to presume that most Americans have given thought to what it means to stand up for an idea, regardless of the cost.

It's easy to quote Scripture. But it's not always easy to quote it in context and with the correct meaning. If you've ever made the mistake of leveraging a verse in the wrong way, you're not alone.

If you're confused by the slang you hear out of the mouths of today's youths, you're not alone. And it's really hard to keep up.
