Family Show April 17, 2026 - Faith Like a Penguin’s

If you were a penguin and you’d never swum before, and you were standing at the top of a fifty-foot cliff, staring down into predator-infested waters and God called you to jump in and swim out beyond the horizon to an island you’d never seen so He could sustain you in a way you could not imagine, would you take the plunge, or would you spend eternity trapped on top of the cliff trying to decide if you could trust God?  If you’re longing for a life that invites you to believe without knowing or seeing or even understanding, then dive deep with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy, and immerse yourself in a love that is worthy of your surrender.

Family Show April 3, 2026: Rocking the Roller Coasters This Easter Season

Is your life too much like a roller coaster?  Is your world literally throwing you up and down and side to side all the while spinning you upside-down and right side-up and right side-up and upside-down?  Is your life taking you so many places that you don’t want to be that you’re afraid to open your eyes or let go of the grab bar?  Do you just wish sometimes you could stay on the ground?  What if God didn’t make you for the ground?  What if He made you to embrace Him in the sky?  If you’re ready this Easter Season not just to look for resurrections but to come alive yourself, then strap in with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy, and embrace a love that will free you up to let go and cast your hands to Heaven.
