Moving beyond slogans and sentimentality, they ask hard questions about what love truly requires, what children genuinely need, and whether adult desires should ever redefine a child’s right to stability. Jenn and Sam join the conversation to thoughtfully explore how motherhood is discussed in a culture that often treats it as optional, and whether the phrase “love makes a family” withstands scrutiny when a child’s long-term wellbeing is at stake. It’s a candid, clear-eyed discussion rooted in one conviction: children deserve more than cultural shortcuts.https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20260215.mp3Sun, 15 Feb 2026 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1590422Them Before UsKaty and Jenn discuss the latest in celebrity political commentary, on illegal immigration and gay marriage, showing that they don't practice what they preach to others.

Finally, we explore how faith shapes families, especially in adoption and foster care, revealing how hardship and sacrifice can actually fuel flourishing.

Then we turn South, where states like Florida and Tennessee are defying national trends in reading and math decline with bold reforms and a back-to-basics approach. We also dig into new Census data showing young adults are struggling to reach classic milestones of adulthood, marriage, kids, and independence, and what that means for society’s future.

First, we dive into California’s AB 495, the so-called “Family Preparedness Plan Act,” which supporters frame as compassionate but critics warn could dismantle parental rights and expose kids to exploitation. Then, we turn to Trump’s push for a “citizen-only” Census and the escalating redistricting wars that could reshape Congress for decades. We also look at the controversy over “parentification” and why letting kids pitch in at home might actually strengthen families, not harm them. Finally, in listener questions, we explore how parents can equip kids for back-to-school and how Christians should think about marriage debates in light of cases like Kim Davis and the Supreme Court’s signals on Obergefell.https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250831.mp3Sun, 31 Aug 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1588194Them Before UsThis week’s show takes on some of the toughest questions families face today.

Josh joins Katy to break down a growing legal and cultural question: should parents be held accountable for the crimes of their children? In the Q&A, the team addresses one of the most difficult issues listeners raise, how to think about abuse within marriage and what a faithful, child-centered response should look like.

They begin with a major legal win in Oregon, where the 9th Circuit struck down a rule requiring adoptive parents to affirm gender ideology, highlighting the need to put children’s needs before political agendas. Next, they examine why most Americans admire adoption but rarely choose it, and how fear, misinformation, and cultural trends contribute to the ongoing adoption gap. They also dig into encouraging new data showing that divorce rates are falling, while questioning whether fewer divorces actually mean stronger families. Finally, Jenn joins Katy to respond to thoughtful listener questions about adoption and same-sex couples, parenting differences between spouses, and whether two teens should marry before college. From courtrooms to living rooms, this episode asks a timely and important question: What does it truly mean to prioritize children in a culture that often centers adults instead? https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250810.mp3Sat, 09 Aug 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1588040Them Before UsThis week, Katy and Josh unpack two disturbing surrogacy stories making headlines. One involves a registered sex offender who crowdfunded his way into custody of an infant, and the other centers on a California couple under FBI investigation after commissioning 21 children via surrogacy. Together, they examine how surrogacy laws sidestep critical protections that would apply in adoption, and how treating children as products can lead to devastating consequences, even when everything appears legal on paper. In the second half, Jenn joins the conversation for a candid Q&A, offering insight and perspective as the team responds to heartfelt listener questions about whether or not it's worth it to have children, someone stuck in a loveless marriage, and whether kids are meant to heal us. https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250803.mp3Sat, 02 Aug 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1587770Them Before UsWhat happens when unpopular research proves true?

We start with Malachi 2:15 and explore what it means to raise godly offspring in a time when pride in America is declining and truth is under attack. In our news commentary, we unpack two major Supreme Court victories for children and parents, one upholding age verification for pornography websites, and another reinforcing parental rights over LGBT curriculum in schools. What do these rulings mean for Christian families? We also tackle listener questions, from navigating a child’s exposure to pornography, to how to lovingly engage friends struggling with Christianity, to whether socialism aligns with Scripture. This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with how to protect, disciple, and prepare children to stand firm in both faith and culture.

They discuss the big news out of Iran, the uptick in American political violence, and the controversy surrounding a pregnant mother who was kept on life support for her unborn child. They celebrate the SCOTUS ruling to defend children's well-being and bodily safety from trans ideology and the allegations against Newsboys' Michael Tait. Finally, they address some big questions about surrogacy and how to share about children's rights without making everyone mad at you.https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250622.mp3Sat, 21 Jun 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1587283Them Before UsIn this thought-provoking episode, Katy and Jenn explore the growing bipartisan recognition that fatherhood matters and how the absence of dads affects generations of boys. They discuss the cultural shift highlighted by sociologists and unpack what makes fathers unique and irreplaceable in a child’s development. Next, they reflect on the ten-year anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges with Andrew Walker's latest article for The Gospel Coalition and consider how the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage has impacted children’s rights. Next they take a closer look at a new development in biotechnology. A new tech company has released an online dashboard that ranks embryos based on the likelihood of nearly 900 genetic traits and conditions, including mental health risks, BMI, and IQ. This gives parents the option to discard embryos that do not meet their preferred profile. Katy and Jenn raise urgent ethical questions about the growing trend of treating children as customizable products. https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250615.mp3Sat, 14 Jun 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1587195Them Before UsThis week on the show, Katy is digging into the roots of the “birth dearth” in America. Is it economics, worldview, or both? We look at new data showing how stable, well-paying jobs may be the best natalist policy out there — better than bonuses or benefits alone. In our news commentary, we turn to Sesame Street’s decision to spotlight Pride Month. As major brands step back, why is children's content leaning in? How should parents respond when messages about identity and sexuality land in their kids’ media? Plus, we tackle the troubling rise of elderly couples commissioning babies through surrogacy. A UK couple in their 70s just won parental rights — but what does that mean for the child’s future? And finally, Katy and Jenn wonder how should Christians respond in truth and love when media voices we usually support stumble? https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250608.mp3Sun, 08 Jun 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1587086Them Before UsThis episode covers Louisiana’s IVF law changes, the harmful impact of pornography on marriage, and a free speech case involving a student’s T-shirt.

Gen Z is trading skyscrapers for small towns and status for simplicity. But is slowing down the key to a better life, or just a retreat from responsibility? We unpack the values behind this movement and what it could mean for faith, family, and the future. Then, we tackle the cultural confusion around cohabitation. Is shacking up a safe test run for marriage or a dead-end detour? We separate the science from the slogans and challenge the narratives shaping young hearts. And in our listener Q&A: Can regular check-ins save your marriage? Should you stay in a sparkless relationship? And can a marriage survive a child from an affair?

Why is the Trump administration defending Biden’s abortion pill policy? Why did a Maine judge call a conservative church a “cult” and bar a mother from taking her daughter to church? And what’s really behind Colorado’s latest transgender bill? We tackle these headlines from a biblical worldview, with honest commentary rooted in Scripture and a heart for truth. In our final segment, we answer your powerful listener questions—from navigating divorce with moral clarity to raising kids with wisdom in a digital world. https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250511.mp3Sun, 11 May 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1586689Them Before UsIn this episode, Katy and Patience unpack a major new study on the abortion pill that reveals alarming truths the industry and FDA have long downplayed. Nearly 1 in 9 women who take the abortion pill experience serious complications, destroying the narrative that it's "safer than Tylenol." We examine how policy changes and mail-order access have enabled widespread abuse, sidestepped state laws, and put countless women at risk. Then, listen to a clip from our IVF | FYI series where Ari Schulman, editor of The New Atlantis, shares about the rapidly evolving frontier of reproductive technology, from IVF to in vitro gametogenesis. What happens when we can create embryos from skin cells? What moral boundaries are we crossing, and how should Christians respond? Finally, Jenn and Katy tackle your thought-provoking listener questions—from robot housekeepers to the ethical wreckage of broken families and surrogacy gone wrong. https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250503.mp3Sat, 03 May 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1586602Them Before UsThis week on the show, Katy and Josh connect the dots between law, culture, and lived experience—always with children’s rights at the center. From President Trump’s executive order on IVF to state-level shifts on gender identity and family law, they unpack how policy decisions are shaping the lives of the next generation. Then Katy and Jenn turn to your questions. What do we say to someone navigating the grief of being donor-conceived? How should the church respond when life doesn’t follow the “perfect plan”? And is using embryo selection ever morally defensible?https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250426.mp3Sat, 26 Apr 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1586508Them Before UsKaty and Josh open the episode with a cultural curveball: SNL’s shockingly honest sketch about a gay couple and a baby sparks a broader conversation, Where did the baby come from, and why are we told not to ask? They unpack the subtle shift in public opinion on same-sex parenting, surrogacy, and the crumbling taboos that once silenced these conversations. Next, Katy introduces a clip of our interview with Dr. Naomi Whittaker, a board-certified OB-GYN and fertility surgeon, to discuss what real, compassionate women’s healthcare looks like—and why restorative reproductive medicine matters more than ever in an era of artificial wombs and outsourced motherhood. Go check out our IVF | FYI series for the full conversation: https://youtu.be/WXbtIGijoaI?feature=shared Finally, we take on your questions: – Is surrogacy ever okay—especially when frozen embryos are involved? – Should you take relationship advice from #divorcedandthriving reels? – And what should Christians think about artificial wombs? https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250420.mp3Sat, 19 Apr 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1586396Them Before UsIn this episode, we begin with Utah’s groundbreaking move to give adult adoptees access to their original birth records—without a judge’s permission. What does this mean for adoptees’ rights, and why does it matter? Next, in a clip from the Them Before US podcast series on IVF, Emma Waters from The Heritage Foundation joins us to unpack the booming surrogacy industry. Often painted as a compassionate act, commercial surrogacy raises deep ethical questions. Who profits, who pays, and what happens to the children? Emma connects the dots between surrogacy, IVF, and the broader cultural conversation on family and commodification. Finally, we tackle raw, honest listener questions—from when and how to talk to kids about difficult family origins, to the blessings (not just the battles) of raising kids through every age. We also share powerful lessons learned from others’ marriages and how they shape our own. https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/ThemBeforeUs/TB4U_20250413.mp3Sat, 12 Apr 2025 08:00:00 GMT00:48:1586333Them Before UsKaty and Josh unpack the latest Supreme Court case that could change the future of Planned Parenthood's federal funding.

First, we break down President Trump’s executive order expanding IVF access—what does it really mean for the tiniest humans created in labs? We explore why the IVF industry, as currently practiced, is incompatible with a pro-life, pro-child ethic and what a truly pro-family approach to fertility should look like.
