Hey friends, welcome back to The Bridge Between Us Podcast

In this episode, Melinda Patrick and her guest, Alex McFarland, dive deep into how we, as parents and individuals, can continue to hold firm to the truth amidst the changing culture and differing values between us and our children.

Parents today are facing a culture that challenges traditional beliefs, especially around sexuality, identity, and values. Their children are growing up in a world where those beliefs often conflict with their own, and it can feel overwhelming and heartbreaking. How can parents stand firm in their faith and share truth with love in a way that doesn't compromise their beliefs but also doesn't drive a wedge between them and their children?


Today's guest is Alex McFarland, an expert in apologetics and a passionate advocate for truth. Alex has spent years counseling, teaching, and engaging in tough conversations with people who are struggling with cultural shifts in their beliefs. He brings years of wisdom to the table as he helps us navigate how to hold fast to God's truth, love others well, and parent with courage.

Listen in and discover how to: 

  1. Stand firm in the truth of God's Word.
  2. Love others unconditionally, even when you don't agree with their choices.
  3. Be patient and trust in God's timing as you continue to pray and walk alongside your loved ones.
