When he vandalizes the local church to get back at his parents, Matthew has to repair the damage to the church to avoid criminal charges.

Mike and Susan Reinfeldt have designed a curriculum for family group Bible studies called BetterTogether. Mike is the senior Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Tennessee Titans, and Susan is a marriage and family therapist.

I have enjoyed using the lessons with my family during our Bible study time. A variety of important topics covered in the series includes gratitude, prayer, integrity, forgiveness, d
