Bold as a Lion (Proverbs 28:1)
The host of a national radio program asked people to call and share how their church had helped their blended family. Normally the phones would light up, but this time the calls stopped. Online someone explained, "Sadly, churches haven't helped." Now, in their defense, churches can't have a ministry for every need. That's why we provide equipping and resources. Still Proverbs 28 invites the righteous to be bold as a lion. Be bold to encourage your church to start a stepfamily ministry.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: The host of a national radio program asked people to call and share how their church had helped their blended family. Normally the phones would light up, but not this time. The calls stopped. Online someone explained why. “Sadly,” they said, “churches haven’t helped.”
Now, in their defense, churches can’t have a ministry for every need. That’s why we provide equipping and resources. Still Proverbs 28 invites the righteous to be bold as a lion. Be bold to encourage your church to start a stepfamily ministry. In the meantime, thank this radio station for helping me help you. Together we can make a difference.
