FamilyLife Today®

Ever feel exhausted trying to be “good enough” for God? On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson sit down with Portia Collins for a funny, raw conversation about legalism, perfectionism, and the night a Galatians Bible study wrecked her life—in the best way possible. Between Marvel talk and gaming stories, Portia unpacks how grace finally broke through years of guilt, striving, and performance-based faith.

Grandparenting is sweet. Step Grandparenting? That can get complicated fast. On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson talk with Ron Deal about blended-family holidays, divided loyalties, awkward beginnings, and the long game of building trust with step-grandkids. From Captain America costumes to painful Christmas memories, this conversation hits the real tensions families carry—and how undeserved kindness, a dollop of patience, and a generous helping of joy can slowly change the story.
