One of the biggest questions parents are asking today is, “How do we raise positive kids in such a negative world?” In this message, Chip explains that God has a plan for parenting and the Bible clearly lays it out. If you long to strengthen the relationships with your children and increase the joy in your parenting journey, the first step begins here.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
