Resolving Family Conflicts

Conflicts are inevitable in every family. Sometimes busy and preoccupied parents create conflict. At other times, children act selfishly, respond angrily, or flat-out rebel against their parents. When conflicts remain unresolved, there can be a permanent breakdown in relationships that time alone will not heal.

This two-part series by Chuck Swindoll gives down-to-earth advice from the Bible on how to resolve family conflicts. Urging us to combine tough love with tender hearts, these messages offer a realistic road to that reconciliation we long for.

Celebrate and Trust God

Life is meant to be enjoyed, not merely endured.

And to make matters worse, life is often filled with heartache and disappointments and even unexpected trauma. In this special set—which includes messages as well as music—Chuck Swindoll reminds us that, regardless what comes into our lives, life can be enjoyed when we learn to celebrate and trust God.

Experience the Land and the Book

We tend to think that the people in the Bible were larger-than-life figures who demonstrated boundless faith despite their circumstances. But they were bound to a time and a place in history with flesh-and-blood challenges. In the series Experience the Land and the Book, take a virtual guided tour of Israel theologically curated by Chuck Swindoll. Each of Chuck’s six messages was recorded in the very places trod or sailed by kings David and Saul, the disciples, the apostle Paul, and our Savior, Jesus. Each message and context connects us to timeless principles that undergird and strengthen our faith for our time.
