What is Family Shield?

The name Family Shield Ministries comes from Ephesians 6:16,
“Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”

The Lord created the family and his church as the foundation of our society, but many families today are in crisis, or don’t know Christ. Family Shield Ministry’s mission is to educate and equip people through the power of the Gospel to know Christ, grow in His Word, and strengthen individuals and their families.

Our podcasts, radio programs, and newsletters offer practical information to help families solve life’s problems from a Christian perspective. We strive to feature experts who can offer life-changing resources and motivational, relevant, Biblical help for people struggling and in need of encouragement and hope. We invite you to join hands with us as we encourage and equip families to live in the hope of Christ.
