    Lessons from the Eclipse

    Lessons from the Eclipse

    Join Dr. Rob and Amy Rienow on this episode of Family Vision, as they share their once-in-a-lifetime experience witnessing the total solar eclipse of 2024.
    Rob and Amy unpack the truth from Psalm 19:1, "The heavens declare the glory of God."
    While God's power and presence are on display through the physical universe (Romans 1), Satan seeks for people to worship the creation rather than the Creator.

Favorite Marriage & Family Podcast

Family Vision is hands down one of the few “go to” podcasts I listen to on a weekly basis. Rob and Amy give a biblical worldview for marriage and family life and they are so real, genuine, and authentic, which is incredibly refreshing. I always leave with practical take-always that bless my marriage and family. So thankful for them and their ministry. Take a listen—you’ll be thankful you did!

Thank you, Visionary Family!

This podcast helps me to know how to raise my kids for Christ!

Get some jitsu ,

Worth a listen and then some….

Heard Dr. Rob and his wife Amy speak at a recent conference of sorts and the messages stood out to say the least. Always Biblically sound, full of wisdom, and speaking clear over politically triggering topics. As younger parents we have much to learn. Thankful to have found this ministry as a resource to guide us in raising our kids in a biblically sound, Jesus focused way. Thank you!
