Resolutions and Relationships
Dr. Joannie DeBrito is a counselor with Focus on the Family. Joannie was asked if there are ways to make a resolution that actually sticks. Practical examples point to making a resolution that is realistic and attainable; bite-size chunks with rewards along the way are helpful. Dr. DeBrito also mentioned letting go of some previous goals...and there are also relationships that could fall into that category as well.

Developing Strong Friendships as Men
Brian Evans and Tom McElligott are friends whose relationship centers around a stolen lawnmower. Tom's lawn mower was stolen. And no, Brian did not steal it. But he heard the story on the air and purchased a replacement for Tom, simply because he didn't want that to be a lasting impression of what happens when you move to the Tennessee Valley. Over the years it has become a friendship of 'iron sharpening iron' that grew intentionally.
Why is PG-13 a Coveted Rating?
Adam Holz with Pluggedin.com reviews two streaming features: Back in Action, a spy/family/spy-family film streaming on Netflix and Unstoppable which was in theatres for a brief run in December but is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Full reviews of these movies are available at pluggedin.com. The conversation turned to content - specifically language, which can be explicit in PG-13 features. It brings the question as to why film producers seem to strive for that rating as opposed to PG.

Budgeting...as an Act of Worship?!?
Most people understand that living on a budget is a smart thing to do, so why don’t more people do it? The host of Faith and Finance Live, Rob West shares some of the popular excuses as to why people do not develop a written budget. Everything from, 'Only people in financial difficulty need a budget,' to 'I make enough to not need a budget.'

How to Teach Kids Theology
Teaching theological truths to children seems mutually exclusive. What comest to mind as you think about the experience: Glazed eyes? Over-their-head discussions?

Now the issues are centered on screens and social media content. But, is it simply the content that should raise up righteous anger within believers? Or is it the entire paradigm that needs to be addressed?
