Nothing like a good temper tantrum, unless you're the one having to deal with it.  Temper Tantrums are never fun to deal with as a parent.  We think of them and even expect to see them from our two year olds, but what about our teenagers or even older?   In this show Linda and Merrill talk about what is behind the temper tantrum and why we so often see them in our teenagers and older.  We would like to be able to blame the children as being a product of the times, but more specifically we ne...

July 23, 2021 19:00 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MB

Sometimes we have bad days, but sometimes we have tragic days.  Days that are so tragic that they leave us in a state of grief.  Deep sadness that leaves us questioning and searching for answers.  Many who experience grief wonder if they will ever smile again.  If their life will ever be "normal" again.  These are real questions with what seems like uncertain answers.   Debby, one of our Rock Solid clients, has grief piled so deep in her life she began to feel like Job.  "What is going on i...

July 18, 2021 22:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MB

Parenting is already difficult, but when you add a divorce into the mix, everything becomes more difficult. Divorce is ugly for many reasons, one of which is how it impacts the parenting process.  Kids get caught up in the hurt of the breakup, but also the lingering hurt between the  ex-spouses.  When people are hurt, they tend to allow the emotional pain to dictate their behavior, this often looks like revenge.   What better way to seek revenge on your ex than by using the children to get ...

Summer is a great time for a lot of different things.  Vacations, pools, sports, sleep-overs, etc...  But, one of the best things about summer is that opportunity for kids to get jobs!  Now, we understand that many kids won't see this as a great opportunity, but during this show, Linda and Merrill explain why jobs are so beneficial to your kids.   Jobs not only provide a potential source of income, but they also provide opportunities to teach your kids so much more than what they can learn ...

Do you know about Truth At Work?  What an amazing coaching opportunity!  Recognizing that you need help is much harder than most people think.  In fact, most of us wait way too long before we actually reach out and seek counsel.  This is especially true in the business world and even more so among high achieving individuals.  High achieving individuals often are very competitive and frequently very good at hiding their weaknesses from their competition.  They play their cards tight to the ch...

Remember Matthew 7:3-4, "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?  How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye.  In this show of Rock Solid Radio, Linda and Merrill talk about judging others.  This single topic is at the heart of why many non-believers will not come to a relationship with Jesus Christ.  The hypocrisy that exist when we impr...

ROCK SOLID RADIO - EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO TELL - EPISODE 123

February 22, 2021 13:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

As a teacher, one of the best ways to get your students to learn a particular lesson is to share a story about the lesson.  The story draws in the student and soon they visualize what they need to learn from the story.  Jesus did this on a regular basis when he taught through parables.   What are some of your parables in life? What did you learn through your story or experiences?  How have you used your story to help someone else?  In this show, Merrill and Linda begin a series of shows th...

ROCK SOLID RADIO - ABSOLUTE TRUTH - EPISODE 122

February 15, 2021 13:00 - 38 minutes - 26.4 MB

In today's world it is hard to know what is truth.  So many information sources bringing so many things that seem like truth.  While information can be a good thing, information that comes from a source other than absolute truth is something to be weary of.   We are all seeking truth as it is hardwired into us by God to know truth and to build our life around it.  When we begin to build our lives around lies and even half-truths we move into confusion.  Living life in a confused state leads...

Raising kids in today's world is challenging. More now than ever, the ways of the world are able to enter your home.  Whether it's TV, internet, social media, phones, etc....

January 25, 2021 13:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

Nobody goes into a marriage believing they will divorce.  But, at least 50% of us will end a marriage in divorce, and many more will wonder if divorce should be their solution.   Research has given us very reliable indicators or predictors of divorce.  Wouldn't it be nice to know if some of those predictors were showing in your marriage?  What would be even better is if you had a way to correct the behavior once you identified the divorce predictor.   During this show, Linda and Merrill begi...

Rock Solid Radio - Intimacy In Marriage - Episode 117

January 11, 2021 13:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MB

How's the intimacy level in your marriage?  Or, maybe we should be more clear and ask, how are the sexual/physical intimacy, emotional intimacy, spiritual intimacy?   This may not be a question you are comfortable answering, but in a marriage, your answer is often an excellent barometer or how the marriage is actually going.  Simply put, it is difficult to reach any level of intimacy if you are not loving and respecting your spouse appropriately.   The good news is that intimacy of any type ...

November 30, 2020 13:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MB

We can all share stories about how busy we are.  Sometimes life just gets crazy and like craving water when you are thirsty, we begin to crave rest when we are too busy.  The question is: Are we resting in God?  Are we resting in a way that will truly energize and restore us?  Most of us, even Christians, do a poor job of knowing how to rest.  We have allowed the world to shape our view of how we rest.  Maybe it's sitting on the couch and binge-watching tv.  Maybe it's not looking at any of ...

ROCK SOLID RADIO - HURRY UP AND WAIT! - EPISODE 110

November 23, 2020 13:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

Trying to figure out God's timing can be frustrating, confusing, and down-right exhausting.  We often pray for God's intercession only to not see what we prayed for.  Or maybe it doesn't happen as quickly as we desired.   This single act is one of the largest contributing factors to people abandoning their faith.  "I asked and God never listened. "  While this may feel like the case, the truth is that God hears all of our prayers and answers all of them with his answer, not ours.   Don't f...

November 02, 2020 13:00 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MB

Most of us could agree that the election process of our political leaders can make us weary.  It is sometimes difficult to hear negative add after negative add. It is difficult to know who you can trust and who you can't.  No, it is not a perfect system.  However, it has proven itself to be among the best systems used to run a country that allows a significant amount of freedom to the people.   This show is not about the political ads and all the other junk.  This show is about the treasure...

October 12, 2020 12:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

Sometimes we see a single event that completely devastates a marriage. But, more often than not, we see a cycle of bad behavior between the spouses that seems to perpetuate even more bad behavior.  Dr. Emerson Eggerich describes this as the "Crazy Cycle", in his book, Love and Respect.   The man feels disrespected and the woman feels unloved and the more they feel that way the more they treat their partner in the negative.  She disrespects him as the man in the house so he retaliates by not...

How is your marriage doing?  All too often we slowly drift into neglecting our marriage.  It was not our intention, it just happens.
