Understanding Our Perilous Times

GUEST: JAN MARKELL

CURRENT PROGRAM: January 24, 2026

CURRENT PROGRAM: January 24, 2026

GUEST: MARY JANE WHEATON, David’s Mom

God designed marriage to be between one man and one woman for life, for husband and wife to love each other, embrace mutually beneficial roles, and raise children to love and obey God. The family is the protective nest, a place of intended peace, that results in Godly individuals and thus God-fearing societies.

If one had to state just one reason why our nation is awash in rampant dysfunction, false ideologies, violence, incarceration, drug use, sexual immorality, and all manner of other societal ills, the breakdown of the family would be at the top of the list. Divorce, children being raise by single parents, and hostility between members of the family are all-too-common today.

Because the family is so important to God, it is under constant assault by Satan. America has changed so much over the last 60+ years, mostly in God-dishonoring ways. My 90-year-old mother has lived through this great cultural change. She and my dad, who went to be with His Savior and Lord last year, were blessed to be saved by God in their mid-20s. They took the Word of God seriously as it pertains to marriage, parenting, and discipleship.

The good news is that in a shifting culture, Christians can thrive, whether married or single. My Mom joins us this Mother’s Day weekend to describe what it was like to live through a time of great cultural change all the while standing firm on the truth of God’s Word.
