By embracing the radical gift of forgiveness as a powerful way to reflect God's love and grace in our relationships, even when it feels difficult and costly, we're reminded that by forgiving others, we not only free ourselves but also make God known in the world.
15 Jun 2026 Family Life Today – 0615 Making God Real to Your Kids – Jonathan & Carrie Cronkite Jonathan and Carrie Cronkite share their passion for making God real to their children through intentional family practices. The episode begins with a discussion about their recent experience on the Family Life Love Like You Mean It cruise, highlighting its uplifting atmosphere and authentic speakers. The Cronkites emphasise the importance of parents modeling faith at home, drawing from Jonathan’s 15 years as a student pastor, where he identified that kids with lifelong faith had parents who prayed and read scripture together. They introduce their PRAY acronym (Praise, Repent, Ask for others, Yourself) and the use of prayer rocks, inspired by Joshua 4, as visual reminders of prayer requests and answered prayers. These rocks, kept in a bowl and later moved to a memorial platter, help kids see God’s faithfulness. The episode addresses handling unanswered prayers, encouraging service to others and modeling repentance to foster a genuine faith environment.
