Do I Have to Forgive If They're Not Sorry? Yana Conner

Do I have to forgive them if they’re not sorry? What if letting them back in isn’t safe? Writer and Bible teacher Yana Conner joins Dave and Ann Wilson on FamilyLife Today to untangle forgiveness from reconciliation—and the idea that forgiveness means pretending it never happened. She gets practical about confrontation, boundaries, broken trust, and what forgiveness can look like when the other person won’t change.

What Helps Faith Take Root and Last?: Collin Outerbridge

Smart kid. Athlete. Trouble-maker. Pastor’s kid. The funny one. The disappointment. Kids collect labels fast—and sometimes we’re the ones handing them out. Dr. Collin Outerbridge explores how to help kids find their identity in Christ when achievement, approval, and culture are eager to name them first. Because even “I just want you to succeed” can quietly become a heavier message than we intended. Show Notes and Resources Learn more about Dr. Collin Outerbridge and Nona Church.

You carted them to church. Youth group. Maybe even the mission trip. So why are so many kids leaving the faith once they start thinking for themselves? Dr. Collin Outerbridge has studied unchurched and de-churched Gen Z—and he’s a dad in the thick of it. He joins Dave and Ann Wilson to unpack what’s competing for your kid’s heart and how parents can respond before, “I don’t believe this anymore.” Show Notes and Resources Learn more about Dr. Collin Outerbridge and Nona Church.

Feeling Disconnected From Your Spouse? The Drift You Didn’t See Coming--Jennifer Abbott

You share a bed, a calendar, maybe a Costco membership. But lately, your deepest conversation is, “Who’s picking up the kids?” Feeling disconnected from your spouse doesn’t always mean your marriage is in crisis.

An answered prayer

12/03/2025

Gods princess b wel

September 6,2024 episode was an answer to prayers. I love my church family but as my life changed I knew something was missing and I couldn’t figure out what or why. The honesty knowledge and wisdom was just what I needed. I come back to this particular one often. I share it every chance I get. I love this space and the podcast. I’m very particular I’m sure as we all are about who we listen to and why. I’m happy to be able to add this podcast in as a part of my spiritual walk, bible study and marriage.

Dave and Ann are REAL, honest people and having both husband and wife perspectives is so valuable. They are funny, and every interview is engaging and points me to Jesus. Couldn’t ask for more.

I listen to a variety of podcasts and Family Life Today has always been my favorite! Ann and Dave are always laughing with each other and the people they interview, so I always feel like I’m entering into a living room of people who are having a blast yet learning about the Lord with vulnerability—and I’m invited! Though I’ve never me Ann and Dave, there podcast makes me feel like I know them and they are some of my mentors as I navigate being a young mom and wife.
