Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization
According to new research by the University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox, our kids and communities—not to mention our civilization as a whole—are much more likely to flourish when the state of our unions is strong. Despite this, record numbers of Americans are not succeeding at getting or staying married.

In this hard-hitting book, Wilcox reveals the anti-family messages and policies coming out of Holly­wood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America that have weakened marriage. Along the way, he knocks down a number of myths they’ve propa­gated.

This is a book for anyone who wants to under­stand why, even as fewer men and women tie the knot, America’s most fundamental institution matters for our civilization more than ever. And for men and women looking to establish strong, stable, and happy unions for themselves and their children, Get Married reveals the road forward.
Jay Lowder Show Page
Jay Lowder
Founder | President - Jay Lowder Harvest Ministries
Drawing from personal experience, Jay Lowder is committed to reaching those struggling daily. Called to full-time evangelism in 1989, Jay is the founder of Jay Lowder Harvest Ministries, an organization dedicated to reaching diverse groups of people with the message of Jesus Christ.

At a young age, Jay turned away from God and headed towards a life of destruction, eventually reasoning that his life was no longer worth living. With a pistol at his temple, Jay considered suicide; however, his attempt came to an abrupt halt when his roommate unexpectedly walked through the door.

Sensing God spared his life to fulfill a purpose, Jay's search for truth began. After several months, it culminated at a Sunday night outreach where he committed his life to Christ. Soon after, he attended a youth event where he witnessed hundreds of teens respond to the call to accept Jesus Christ. There, he realized God calling him to spend the rest of his life proclaiming his personal story of faith and helping others find God’s purpose for their life.

Christ Over Culture: Raising Christian Kids to Stand in a Postmodern World
Discover a powerful guide for Christian parents seeking to equip their children to live out their faith in today’s chaotic, self-focused society. Christ Over Culture: Raising Christian Kids to Stand in a Postmodern World empowers parents to help their kids discern anti-Biblical ideas and ground them in God’s truth. Through a blend of theology, worldview analysis, apologetics, and critical thinking skills, Christ Over Culture will equip parents with tangible strategies to run their race, stewarding their children to the glory of God.

A treasured resource for Christian families, this book dives deep into dominant social issues such as feminism, sexual and gender identity, race conversations, progressive Christianity, and more. Through a comprehensive understanding of cultural challenges, parents will gain valuable insights and practical strategies for nurturing a strong faith foundation in their children so these ideas won’t persuade them.

Author Andrea Crum states, “As parents, we don’t have to be fearful of the world our kids are growing up in, but we need to be intentional with how we help them navigate it.” Andrea is a wife and mother of two, Bible study teacher, graduate of Colson Center for Christian Worldview, and founder of Genuine Family Ministries.

Raising Christian Kids Conference
We believe if, as parents, we do not rise up and raise our children to stand firm on their faith, our children and the church will be lost in the next generation to anti-Biblical beliefs.
