    FLN Inside Out: Youth Friendship in the Social Media Age - 10/21/2026

    #InsideOut Making friends in middle and high school has always been challenging. Add social media and it’s even more complex. Youth leader and writer Kathryn Eckhardt believes that youth leaders and parents can help teens manage the feelings spawned by friendship dramas that can escalate when friends aren’t talking face to face. Eckhardt is the author of The Gospel Coalition’s August 15, 2026 article "Help Teens Navigate Friendship in the Social Media Age." She encourages caring adults to listen well to the teens in their lives, remind them of the character qualities to look for in a friend, and, when they feel disappointed or rejected, repeat the good news of God’s love for them. In addition to serving as a youth leader, Tallahassee-based Eckhardt serves in her church women's ministry. Her writing has appeared in The Gospel Coalition, World Magazine, Rooted Ministry, and byFaith Magazine. ###

    FLN Inside Out: Know What to Look For - 09/30/2026

    #InsideOut   There are a lot of church and ministry voices we can listen to. Some will help us grow and serve.  Others are not healthy. How do we know what to look for? We need discernment to know if churches we attend or teachers we listen to online are sound--or if they injure people even while preaching the message of Jesus Christ.   Mark Pritchard joins me for this Inside Out conversation about discernment. He’s senior pastor at Church of the Gates in Missoula, Montana. Along the way he outlines key attributes we should look for in a healthy church or ministry and talks through ways to respond to church abuse and church hurt.  ###

    FLN Inside Out: Hope in Suffering - 09/16/2026

    #InsideOut   Most of us resonate with the Old Testament book of Job.   “The book of Job specifically zeros in on suffering, and we are going to have suffering in this world,” says author, pastor, and council member for The Gospel Coalition Andrew M. Davis.  “Jesus said, ‘In this world you will have trouble.’ And we do. And so, God is able to walk with us in our suffering and in our grief and give us wisdom through this book and through other books of the Bible.”   Davis uses words from Job’s response to his suffering as the title for his new book Yet Will Hope in Him. That hope is found in God’s inspired Word--and supported by our familiarity with it.   “The more we read Scripture and see the promises of God and immerse ourselves in them,” Davis says, “the stronger our hope will be.”   God did not answer all of Job’s questions in the Old Testament book’s 42 chapters. But God did answer them by the end of the entire Bible, Davis points out in our conversation, through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. ###

    FLN Inside Out: How We Read the Bible - 09/02/2026

    #InsideOut   Tim Mulgrew thinks many Christians are missing the transformation God promises because we ask too little of the Bible He’s given us.   Mulgrew’s the author of the new book The Book of Us: Discovering Ourselves in the Story of the Bible.   “I think we do ask too little of our Bibles,” Mulgrew says. “Most Christians treat Bible reading as a daily task, something that’s required of their Christianity, but they don’t see it for its true purpose: which is really to reconcile us to God and live the life He has for us.”   One question he suggests we ask as we read God’s Word is this: “Of all the events in life that clearly reflect God, why did God think it was important to capture these particular events, and why is it important that He has me reading them this day?”   Listen to Martha’s conversation with Tim Mulgrew on this Family Life Inside Out podcast.

    FLN Inside Out: Jesus Values Women - 08/19/2026

    #InsideOut Author and photographer Dorothy Littell Greco joins me for a conversation about Greco’s new book For the Love of Women: Uprooting and Healing Misogyny in America. We discuss the polarizing word, misogyny, that serves as vehicle for talking about attitudes, systems, and powers—including ones we may not have recognized before--that work to block our combined efforts to help girls and women thrive. And because we know that Jesus loves and values women, we also talk about how the Church is in the best position to set the tone for our entire culture.       ###

    FLN Inside Out: How to Really Help - 08/05/2026

    #InsideOut We want to help friends who suffer.

Glosson is an associate pastor at Chapelstreet Church in Geneva, Illinois and the author of a July 2026 article in The Gospel Coalition titled “Ways to (Actually) Help a Sufferer.”

    FLN Inside Out: Gen Z’s Mission Field - 07/22/2026

    #InsideOut   Gen Z is sometimes caricatured for spending considerable time on the internet. But what if while online, these teens and young adults are making significant connections and sharing their Christian faith in the medium they and their peers know best?   Barry Meguiar is encouraged that they are. In fact, he believes that Gen Z believers are the best hope for spreading God’s Good News.   “Our only hope is Gen Zers. I believe that,” he says. “They have the fervency; they just don’t have the truth. It’s our job to give them the truth. And when we do that, man they’re off and running. I tell you, that’s exciting.”   A new part of Meguiar’s Ignite America ministry is focused on supporting Gen Z believers with the Ignite Next Gen’s ministry tool “From Scroll to Soul.” In addition to Ignite America ministries, Meguiar is known for the Meguiar’s family’s car care products business and his Car Crazy radio and television shows.   Learn more about the “From Scroll to Soul” ministry tool here.
