Church and Family Life Podcast

What happens when a society rejects God’s design for manhood, womanhood, marriage, and the family? Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm sit down with pastor and author Michael Clary to tackle this crisis as they discuss the creation order — God’s purposeful design for men and women and the far-reaching implications of rejecting it. From the opening chapters of Genesis to the modern confusion surrounding gender, sexuality, marriage, and the body itself, they explain how abandoning God’s order leads to chaos — and how joyful submission to His design leads to beauty, harmony, and human flourishing. 

Why has singing grown weak in so many churches—and what can be done to recover it? Host Adam Triplett dives into these questions and more with Scott Brown, author of the new book, The Family That Sings. Drawing from Scripture and pastoral experience, Scott explains why God’s people are called to be a singing people—from Genesis to Revelation—and how singing serves as a powerful tool for teaching, admonishing, and shaping the church. They address men who say, “I can’t sing,” calling all Christians to lift their voices in every season—even in suffering—and charge parents, led by fathers, to teach their children to praise the Lord through song. Our goal should be this—to restore strong, joyful singing in both church and home. Buy the book here: https://churchandfamilylife.com/products/69b30dbf6a8daf78584b4538

What can an F-16 fighter pilot teach us about the Christian life? Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm sit down with Phill Cochran—former fighter pilot and longtime pastor—to discuss his new book, Lessons Learned at the Speed of Sound. Drawing from real experiences in high-pressure flight, Phill shares vivid illustrations that point to deeper spiritual realities—discipline, perseverance, warning, and trust. From “tightening your G-suit” to avoiding the “death spiral,” this conversation shows how God uses pressure to shape His people and prepare them to live faithfully with eternity in view. 

Why are more people diagnosed, medicated, and labeled than ever before—yet no better off? Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm speak with biblical counselor Greg Gifford about his book, Lies My Therapist Told Me. Addressing the confusion at the heart of modern mental health, Gifford exposes how secular psychology replaces repentance with diagnosis and promotes a “therapeutic” worldview that often undermines biblical truth. From the dangers of identity shaped by disorder to the relational fallout of unbiblical “boundaries,” this episode calls Christians back to the sufficiency of Scripture—and the only path to true healing. 

God made men and women different — and truly understanding their distinctions is key to a healthy marriage. Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm break this down with guest Michael Foster. They discuss why men often carry burdens silently, why women tend to communicate more contextually, and how a woman’s cyclical hormonal reality differs from a man’s more stable pattern. Along the way, they unpack “disappointment dynamics” in early marriage, the temptation to despise or judge one another, and why learning to live with “understanding” is essential (1 Pet. 3:7). Their takeaway: embrace God’s design, and your home will be stronger for it.
