FamilyLife Today®

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.

Author Yanna Connor joins Dave and Ann Wilson on FamilyLife Today to unpack her 11-year journey toward forgiving her dad—and why stuffing the pain, performing forgiveness, or pretending you’re “all good” doesn’t actually get you free.

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.

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.”
