10 Things Parents Do That Drive Kids Away
By Dr. Rob Rienow   |   05.29.26
Families rarely drift apart overnight. Pride, anger, avoidance, hypocrisy, and misplaced priorities quietly damage relationships over time. The good news? God can heal what sin and selfishness have broken — if we are willing to repent, forgive, and change.
Reclaiming the Sufficiency of Scripture
By Dr. Rob Rienow   |   12.17.24
God’s Word is not outdated or powerless. Scripture is living and active — able to convict, correct, transform, and equip us for every good work. Strong families and faithful churches are built upon the truth and sufficiency of God’s Word.
Encouragement for Stressed-Out Fathers
By Dr. Rob Rienow   |   06.17.23
Our children do not need perfect fathers; they need fathers who walk with God. In a world filled with stress, anxiety, and uncertainty, one of the greatest gifts a father can give his family is humble faith, fervent prayer, and a life anchored in God’s Word.
Dr. Rob Rienow: The Church, The Family, and the Kingdom of God
By Dr. Rob Rienow   |   06.20.22
As the Church continues to grow, and youth ministries flourish, you would expect this generation of children to be closer to God more than ever. You would expect plenty of children to become and continue being Christians, and in return, Christianity would prosper. But as most of us know, this is sadly not the case. Christianity is on the decline and many children who grew up as Christians are tragically leaving the faith as they grow older. Why is this happening despite churches being plentiful and youth ministries nearly at every church? Why would Christianity be in dire trouble if churches seem to be stronger than ever? Dr. Rob Rienow doesn’t think that the Church is to blame; he thinks it is a problem with the family and the home.
