How to Enjoy Unhurried Holidays for a Change

Stress often characterizes the Christmas season. We race from work to the mall to a holiday party and finally collapse in bed from exhaustion. But it need not be that way!

In this Insight for Living audio series, From Heaven to Earth: The Story of Christ’s Coming, Chuck Swindoll reminds us that before the dawn of time, our triune God set in motion the unhurried plan of redemption that included Jesus’s arrival on Christmas Day.

So, slow down and remember that God gave His Son especially for you!

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.

Three "Musts" for a New Year

Whenever a new year draws near, most of us follow certain routines to get ready for the upcoming twelve months. Some of us make resolutions—promises of what we’d like to start doing and what we’d like to stop doing. Others of us look over a calendar of the new year, jotting down notes to help us remember significant dates—birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. Others have different routines, but all of us look forward to a new year with the hope that our lives will be lived with purpose. No one wants to look back at the end of the year and see squandered time. No one wants to drift aimlessly through life, doing things that don’t have some lasting value. The difficulty lies in the fact that many of us simply don’t know what we need to do to give life purpose. Well, Jesus has three answers—three “musts”—for each of us.

Let your imagination be stirred as you experience the old, old story in all its excitement and wonder. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about?

A celebration is long overdue!

Now’s the time to thank your dad for the impact he’s made on your life through all the stages and seasons of your family.

In these two encouraging messages, Chuck Swindoll stirs up gratitude both for our fathers and for the men who have been godly examples to us. You’ll also catch a vision for how each of us can leave a lasting legacy of love, affection, affirmation, and security for those who look to us as the leaders of our generation.
