The presenters at this event will be Brad Huddleston of Brad Huddleston Ministries and Joseph Sweeney of the Asservo Project. Brad and his wife Beth Huddleston’s ministry offers a “digital detox” plan for families, and they also have a program which compares cell phone addiction to what they call “digital cocaine”. Sweeney’s organization focuses on the dangers of how the internet and social media are used to recruit teens and preteens into human trafficking, for sexual abuse and forced labor.

“Issues in Education” is a Monday News Feature from Family Life.

This episode includes commentary from former superintendent and current educational strategist Ralph Kerr on significant issues facing families, teachers, school boards and communities:

  • Beyond Civics courses, what roles do schools play in shaping discussions of campaigns and candidates? How should parents monitor election conversations which may happen at schools?
  • New York State education leaders are surveying every public school district, asking how they are serving their students. One outcome might be recommendations for “regionalization” in many places — cooperation between schools, and perhaps more consolidations of elementaries, high schools, or even entire districts. Population shifts and budget imbalances are a big reason why.
  • The State Board of Regents (which oversees most of the education in New York) removed from this month’s agenda a proposed rule which would have mandated that students could cross gender lines for sports, in high schools, middle schools and elementary programs.

Dr. Kerr offers his vantage point on these Issues in Education.

Marriage is a beautiful gift. And also, one of the hardest relationships we face in life. It’s been said that “Marriage is one of God’s primary workshops for change.” So, how can we grow, and change, to be more like Christ, along with our spouse?

 

Rich and Wendy Crawford, are marriage counselors with Focus on the Family. They are leading the Journey to Us marriage conference coming up in Oneonta, NY on September 27th and 28th. They talk with Terese Main about how two imperfect people, who come together in marriage, can grow to be more like Christ.
