Each episode of Transforming Families with Randy and Lesli is a treasure trove of wisdom, infused with personal anecdotes, research-backed insights, practical tools, and expert interviews.

All from a Biblical worldview. They employ experiential learning exercises from a Biblical worldview that give families an experience that drives the learning deep and equips children to use these same exercises with their children and grandchildren resulting in a generational impact and lasting legacy. At the heart of the podcast is the transformative power of doing family by God's original design. Randy and Lesli firmly believe that doing family God's way builds not only individual lives but also the broader culture. They explore how the values, beliefs, and traditions passed down from generation to generation can profoundly impact society as a whole. Through thought-provoking discussions, they inspire listeners to intentionally build their families as God designed, empowering them to be agents of positive change in their communities and the world. Transforming Families with Randy and Lesli goes beyond theory, offering practical tools and strategies that listeners can implement in their daily lives. Each episode concludes with actionable takeaways and challenges designed to encourage listeners to apply the insights shared.

Guest experts and real-life stories are an integral part of the podcast.

These six protocols are the foundation of all of our work with families at The Family Reformation Project and The Family School. If we don't have a clear template for how to do family God's way, we have a 0% chance of succeeding at family. Our generations and the Kingdom of God will suffer if we don't fix this on our end.

WHAT IS FAMILY SCHOOL? Biblically-Centered Family Ministry Everyone longs for a healthy family. Family School is discipleship-based equipping for every family in any condition to learn, heal, connect, and grow together. It's a safe place for all families to be equipped and empowered to do family as God designed. Using biblical truth, principles of emotional intelligence, a coach approach to family, and teaching within small groups, families can build a thriving family culture where love, trust, fun, and purpose abound. We define family discipleship as the process of intentionally embodying God's character in our families in a way that equips our children to do the same for generations to come. Whoever wins the family wins the culture in the end. Learn more about Family School here www.winthefamily.org

FACT: The enemy strategically attacks marriages and families to bring societal collapse. Why This Matters: Marriage and family are God's design for human flourishing, and when they are destroyed, society unravels. In today's episode we will cover: Satan's strategy, its impact, and biblical solutions. Segment 1: Understanding the Enemy's Strategy Against Families 1. The Biblical Foundation of Marriage and Family Genesis 2:24 – God established marriage as the cornerstone of human relationships. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 – Parents are called to disciple their children. Ephesians 5:22-33 – Marriage as a reflection of Christ and the Church. 2. Satan's Ultimate Goal: Disrupt God's Design John 10:10 – "The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy." Satan knows that strong families create strong churches and societies. If he can dismantle the family, he weakens future generations. 3. The Five-Step Strategy of the Enemy Step 1: Attack Biblical Authority- examples Undermining Scripture's authority leads to moral confusion. Step 2: Redefine Marriage & Gender Roles- Promoting alternative definitions of marriage and gender to distort God's design. Step 3: Encourage Marital Strife & Divorce Destroying the covenant of marriage leads to broken families and generational trauma. Step 4: Devalue Parenthood & Children Promoting abortion, career over family, and an anti-child mindset. Step 5: Isolate & Weaken the Church's Influence Removing the family from church discipleship, creating fragmented believers. Segment 2: The Impact of Family Breakdown on Society 1. The Collapse of Moral Foundations Without stable marriages, moral relativism takes over. Children raised without biblical guidance are more likely to embrace secular ideologies. 2. Rise in Social Chaos & Crime Studies show fatherless homes contribute to increased crime, gang involvement, and incarceration. Communities with broken families suffer from poverty, substance abuse, and instability. 3. Weakened Future Generations If children don't see strong marriages, they won't value commitment. A self-centered, individualistic society replaces sacrificial love and service. Segment 3: The Enemy's Attack on Marriage 1.Destroying the Husband's Role as Spiritual Leader Men are distracted by career, entertainment, and passivity. The enemy convinces men that leadership is toxic rather than biblical servant-leadership. 2. Pitting Husbands & Wives Against Each Other Feminism distorting submission and respect. Masculinity being labeled as oppressive rather than protective. 3. Turning Marriage into a Temporary Contract Instead of a Covenant High divorce rates reflect a lack of commitment and spiritual foundation. Easy exits make marriage about convenience, not lifelong partnership. Segment 4: Biblical Solutions to Combat the Enemy's Strategy 1. Returning to Biblical Authority Churches and families must reclaim the truth of Scripture. Teaching God's design for marriage in homes and churches. 2. . Strengthening Husbands & Fathers as Spiritual Leaders Encouraging men to lead with love, responsibility, and sacrifice. Titus 2 & Ephesians 6 – Discipling men and fathers to guide their families. 3. Rebuilding Strong Marriages Through Covenant Commitment Prioritizing marriage counseling, date nights, and sacrificial love. Recognizing that a strong marriage is a spiritual battle. 4. Restoring Family Discipleship Parents must reclaim their role as primary disciplers of their children. Regular family worship, Bible study, and prayer as a household. 5. Strengthening the Local Church's Role in Family Restoration Churches should create strong marriage ministries. Mentorship programs for young couples. Q: Where do you go to learn to do family?
