A strong and united family knows its values and stands for them. Imagine the power when every family member feels connected to a common goal. Have you considered creating a family motto or selecting a word each year that everyone strives to embody in their thoughts, words, and actions? Words like patience, loving, kind, and self-control can guide your family's focus. Why not try this in your own family? You can start anytime and embrace the power of a shared purpose. Share your word or phrase with us!

Alcoholism destroys families. With millions of bottles consumed each year, it's time to reflect on the negative impact alcohol might have on your family. I know firsthand the dark side of alcohol, as my dad's addiction led to violence and pain. Even a personal experience with a drunk driver made me reevaluate my own choices and behaviors. It's essential to be intentional in our decisions, including whether to drink or not, as our choices can harm not only ourselves but also our loved ones and even strangers. Let's break the cycle and prioritize family over alcohol.

Research and the Bible teach us that our brains are malleable, easily shaped by our thoughts and beliefs. One of the most important messages we should be telling ourselves is "I love me." In fact, the Bible says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. We can't give what we don't have, and loving ourselves impacts our thinking and relationships with others. When we don't embrace self-love, we hold back, disengage, and live small. But God wants us to be available for the big and bold things He has planned for us. Look in the mirror, smile, and confidently affirm what God says about you. "I love me." Even if it starts as a whisper, what we tell ourselves truly matters!

Do you judge yourself by your mistakes? We all mess up, but here's the beautiful truth: it's through our mess-ups that we learn, grow, and become better versions of ourselves. God doesn't wait for us to be perfect before accepting us. Just look at the crucifixion scene where Jesus hung between two thieves. One mocked Him, but the other humbly begged for mercy. Did that thief have time to clean up his mistakes before coming to Jesus? Nope. Instantly moved by the man's heart, Jesus said, "Today, you'll be with me in paradise." We don't have to get it all right for God to embrace us. His grace flows freely for anyone who humbly asks for it. Let go of judgment and embrace the acceptance and love of a God who meets us in our mess.

As someone who longed for a loving dad, I understand the profound pain of feeling unimportant to the one who brought you into this world. It's a reality faced by millions of kids, not just in the United States but worldwide. In America alone, an estimated 24.7 million children live without their biological fathers. However, there is hope. Men have the power to make a difference, even if circumstances prevent in-person parenting. Visit our ministry website at Josh.org for valuable free resources. Together, let's be a catalyst for change and bring love and support to every fatherless child.

God doesn't expect us to be perfect, but He does want to transform us. While some people experience miraculous changes, such as instant healing or freedom from addiction, God often works differently in our lives. Accepting Jesus as our Savior and Lord becomes our greatest motivation, and as we surrender to His ways and will, He empowers us to grow and heal. God promises to never leave us as we are and works within us, while we also put effort into changing our thoughts and behaviors. It's a collaboration between God's transformative power and our active participation. God plus us equals healing, and this promise extends to everyone.

In the Scriptures, God reveals his perspective on sexuality as a profoundly beautiful connection between husband and wife. His intention is for love and physical intimacy to be satisfying and exciting within marriage.
However, the problem arises when we engage in pornography. Its immense power distorts our perception of genuine love, sex, and marriage. By consuming pornography, we replace the real creation of love with a counterfeit version.
