Podcast > Debated > Are We Born to Cheat?

Life is full of decisions. And one of the greatest gifts God has given us is the ability to make decisions on our own. But is that freedom available to us in every situation? Do we really have a choice when it comes to cheating?

In this message, Ed Young takes a look at the choices and consequences that result from our decisions. And he reveals to us God's truth about whether or not we are born to cheat.

Podcast > Debated > What Constitutes a ‘Family’?

Families don't necessarily look like they did decades ago. From nuclear families to blended homes to single parent households, there's no longer a consistent model. But has God’s plan for the family changed?

In this message, Ed Young is joined by his wife and four children to answer questions from the audience - unscripted and unedited. And through their candor and openness, we discover that family is more about love and our position before God than it is about fitting into a specific mold.

Ed Young Debates Adultery

When it's the #2 cause of divorce,
Everyone is affected.

When the #1 late night television program opens the discussion,
Everyone listens.

But is it really that bad?

 
This Thursday, September 24, at 11:35pm EST on ABC, Ed Young faces off with one of culture’s most outspoken advocates for adultery – a subject that millions of marriages and families face every day.
For far too long, culture has hijacked God’s design for sex, marriage and the family. But during this Nightline special, Ed has an opportunity on an international stage to bring us back to God’s truth—a truth that can change the way we look at our relationships and our lives.

It’s something that will be talked about in the office, shared in the neighborhood and mentioned in the grocery store lines. Don’t miss your chance to see it happen live! Check your local listings for channel and time. 

And don’t forget, you can always connect with and follow Ed on Twitter, Facebook, and edyoungblog.com.

In this message, Ed Young shows us how God’s structure for the family, the home gym, models that of the most elite training center. And when we stick to the plan laid out in the Bible, we’ll experience a life of true family fitness.

Podcast > Family Re-Union > The Family Clinic

In the case of a medical emergency, if we have a broken arm or our child’s fever spikes, we know exactly where to go. At any given hospital, doctors and nurses, technicians and orderlies are trained and ready to help us through the crisis. But many of the crises people are facing today are non-medical. So where do we go for the urgent care most of us need?

 

In this message, Ed Young looks at God’s Word to show us how the family is set up as a hospital.

And it’s only at the family clinic that we can receive the personal care and attention we need to help us through whatever life emergency we’re facing.

For any organization to run smoothly, accomplish its goals and reach a level of excellence, there must be a plan in place. It’s true for businesses; it’s true for families as well. But unlike in the corporate world, the family plan doesn’t require an MBA to master it. All it takes is a willingness to open God’s Word and follow the plan provided. In this message, Ed Young shows us that God has developed a clear and simple plan to help families. And when we follow God’s family business plan, success is within our reach.
