This week’s show tackles three hot-button cultural and political debates shaping family life. First, we dive into California’s AB 495, the so-called “Family Preparedness Plan Act,” which supporters frame as compassionate but critics warn could dismantle parental rights and expose kids to exploitation. Then, we turn to Trump’s push for a “citizen-only” Census and the escalating redistricting wars that could reshape Congress for decades. We also look at the controversy over “parentification” and why letting kids pitch in at home might actually strengthen families, not harm them. Finally, in listener questions, we explore how parents can equip kids for back-to-school and how Christians should think about marriage debates in light of cases like Kim Davis and the Supreme Court’s signals on Obergefell.
