Plugged In Online
Plugged In Online is a Focus on the Family publication designed to shine a light on the world of popular entertainment while giving families the essential tools they need to understand, navigate and impact the culture in which they live. Through our reviews, articles and discussions, we hope to spark intellectual thought, spiritual growth and a desire to follow the command of Colossians 2:8: "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ."

Al Menconi Ministries
Al Menconi Ministries is an evangelical, non-denominational para-church ministry.
Our mission is to educate and equip Christian parents and leaders to communicate biblical values in the home and church. We accomplish this through:
- Evaluating today's entertainment from a biblical perspective.
- Educating Christians about the values and influences of today's entertainment.
- Encouraging Christians to set standards and choices consistent with God's Word.
- Equipping Christians to teach values through Christian music.
Al Menconi Ministries offers a balanced, responsible, biblical approach that teaches Christians how to think, rather than just what to think. A crucial aspect of this ministry concerns the entertainment media. In the spiritual warfare of this life, entertainment is the often ammunition that shoots down our faith.
