Episode 105 – Nuclear Family Warfare w/ Dana Ross

Episode 105: a conversation with wife and mother of three Dana Ross and our host, Mykelti Blum, as they discuss the nuclear family. What was God’s design for family, and how does the enemy attack the family relationally and systematically?

Dana offers loads of wisdom and practical tools ranging from teaching our children the truth of God’s Word to thinking critically for themselves to creating boundaries around schedules to protecting priorities like family time and church. They also discuss the importance of having healthy female and male perspectives in a child’s life and how the church can fill gaps where needed to help provide a strong nuclear core. This one will challenge and encourage parents to be intentional in all avenues.
