Artist, writer, and longtime BCH friend Starr Ayers joins host Dr. Michael Blackwell to discuss her newest book, "Room At The Table: Encouraging Stories From Special Needs Parents," which she co-authored with Stephanie Pavlantos. Listen as Dr. Blackwell and Ayers discuss her journey as a parent of a special needs child, and the way BCH's Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Ministry helps Ayers' daughter and other adults at BCH’s nine group homes to be their best version of themselves.

Dr. Blackwell brings listeners an encore of one of the most popular “It’s a family matter” episodes featuring Dr. Gary Chapman—author of The 5 Love Languages. In this episode, Dr. Chapman discusses how gifts are a universal expression of love. Whatever form the gift takes, the receiver understands the giver thought of him/her affectionately. Listen as Dr. Blackwell examines the dynamics and implications of gift-giving in his exclusive interview with Dr. Chapman.

Join us for the final episode with Dr. Gary Chapman as we learn the importance of appropriate physical touch in strengthening relationships. While being mindful of personal boundaries, settings, and a diversity of perspectives, Dr. Blackwell interviews Dr. Chapman seeking ways to navigate this powerful love language.

Dr. Michael C. Blackwell continues his conversation with veteran cottage parents Adam and Sian Saunders. In addition to providing a family-like environment for the children in care, the Saunders share and model the love of Jesus to these children and their families. Sometimes this involves smiles and laughter, and sometimes it means getting on the floor to cry with a child who has lost hope in family reunification.

God made us to connect with Him—and with each other. We give and receive support in various ways, including financial. Listen as Dr. Michael Blackwell shares with a group of fundraising professionals proven insights to help maximize “connections” for the benefit of others.
