    Pastor Margaret Mearns Bass on Forgiveness, Healing and Reconciliation

Margaret shares her journey through childhood abuse, betrayal, hidden pain, and ultimately healing through the grace of God. A major theme of the conversation is the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Forgiveness can begin with one person, but genuine reconciliation requires two people willing to move toward restoration.

For anyone carrying wounds from the past or struggling with what forgiveness means, this conversation offers a message of hope, freedom, and restoration.

An appearance does not mean I endorse every statement, book, or teaching associated with the guest.

In this episode of Faith and Family Fellowship, Pastor Chris Buscher talks with Lance A. Slatton, author of Caregiving in America and host of All Home Care Matters. Lance shares his Christian testimony and how his father’s medical crisis led to years of family caregiving that changed the direction of his life. We discuss caregiver burnout, dementia, guilt, family conflict, and the decisions families face when someone they love needs care. Lance also explains how Caregiving in America helps families prepare for the practical, emotional, financial, and legal questions that can catch them off guard. We talk about his work with AlzAuthors and where Christian community matters in all of this. How can the church support caregivers? What does it look like to stand beside a family through illness, uncertainty, and grief? If you’re caring for a parent, spouse, or another loved one, this conversation is for you. If you know someone who is, listen with them in mind. Explore Caregiving in America and Lance’s work. Visit All Home Care Matters. Find caregiver stories and resources through AlzAuthors.

    Jennifer Hope Longenecker on Faith, Family and Held in the Dark

    On this episode of Faith and Family Fellowship, Pastor Chris Buscher speaks with Jennifer Hope Longenecker, co-author of Held in the Dark, a mother-daughter guide for families navigating adolescent eating disorders. Jennifer writes from several perspectives at once: as a mother who walked beside her daughter through an eating disorder, as someone who experienced an eating disorder herself, and as a certified mental health coach with training in trauma-informed care. Her daughter Heather Elizabeth contributes the perspective of the young person actually living through the illness and recovery. The conversation explores what parents often misunderstand, caregiver exhaustion, rebuilding trust, navigating treatment, and holding onto faith when recovery does not happen on the timeline we would choose. We also talk about the role churches can play in supporting families facing mental health challenges and why Jennifer believes faith and hope can be present without minimizing how difficult the journey really is.

    Paul Osbourn on Teaching Kids How the Old Testament Kings Point to Jesus

    On this episode of Faith and Family Fellowship, Pastor Chris Buscher speaks with Paul Osbourn, author of God’s Big Plan: Earthly Kings to King Jesus. Through the fireside storytelling of Grandpa Joe and his three grandsons, the book introduces young readers to Saul, David, Solomon, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah, and ultimately Jesus Christ. Each earthly king reveals something about leadership, trust, wisdom, worship, obedience, and failure, while pointing children toward the one true King who never fails. Paul discusses why biblical history matters for children, how the Old Testament connects to the gospel, and why he wanted young readers to see Scripture as one unfolding story of redemption rather than a collection of disconnected Bible stories. God’s Big Plan: Earthly Kings to King Jesus is scheduled to release on Amazon August 13, 2026.
