American Families Are Vanishing

The American family is vanishing. According to a new Wall Street Journal report, the US marriage rate has dropped to lowest level on record in over 150 years. And nearly half of America's kids are born out of wedlock! The marriage rate fell 6% in 2018, with 6.5 unions for every 1,000 people, according to the National Center for Health Statistics report. The report reflects how economic insecurity and changing norms are eroding marriage.

AN INMATE'S POWERFUL STORY OF FORGIVENESS

I recently talked to several audiences in northern California on my “Rebuilding the Man Tour.” God was with us. (Thank you to Madera County Supervisor Rick Farinelli and his staff for making the events possible.) At a juvenile detention center, I spoke with boys who went through hell at home – most raised without fathers by drug-addicted mothers, all starved for their fathers’ love. Children need their parents – good parents – like adults need God. I spoke at Valley State Prison to about 150 inmates, a number serving life for murder.
