Note regarding spiritual/religious content: The Building Strong Family (BSF) program is both secular- and faith-friendly. I respect that BSF course participants and my clients come from widely diverse backgrounds: some are religious (from many various faiths), while others are agnostic or atheist. The BSF course is based on secular research- and evidence-based findings. Also, to help illustrate these concepts, I use examples, stories, and teachings from various philosophies and literature, as well as faiths such as Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism, among others with which many can relate. For example, the many classic “Homefront” and “Family: Isn't It About Time” series of TV spots are from the Mormons (LDS). Some of you may even remember as children seeing these feel-good commercials on TV when you were growing up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. They are shared here solely as they illustrate the BSF concepts well: Making our family relationships our number one priority. They are not, however, shared here to endorse or push a particular faith, which is true for any examples I share from various faiths. The TV spots themselves generally do not contain religious messaging or preaching other than at the end of each video, which briefly identifies its denomination. Further, and admittedly, these old commercials may be cheesy and dated. However, they are still positive, upbeat, encouraging, and inspiring with universal, timeless messages about what we all want regardless of religious affiliation: Close, loving relationships with our families.
