THE BONDED FAMILY RADIO PROGRAM
Recognized as 'First of It's Kind'
in Nation By National Media
Kansas City Blended Family Couple Has a Giant Heart for America’s Stepfamilies
The Bonded Family Launches First of a Kind 'Blended Family Today' Program
With over 20+ million households facing unique and challenging dynamics of stepfamily life, one midwest couple launches the 'first of its kind' radio program for blended families. Blended Family Today is live every Sunday morning in Kansas City on Union Broadcasting KCTE 1510 AM radio, as well as heard live nationally via internet streaming technology. Dan and Rebecca Snell are the hosts of the program.
Kansas City, MO, September 04, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A surprising demographic phenomenon will take place quietly in 2010. It may be an ‘under the radar’ change in the makeup of the American Family. According to the American Blended Family Association, the most common form of family household in America in 2010 will be some form of a step-family. Currently there are over 20+ million blended family households in America. When children are counted into that equation, the population in the USA immediately touched by step-family dynamics is over 120 million people.
The unique challenges and dynamics in divorce, re-marriage and step-family life inspired one Kansas City couple to launch an outreach to make a difference in the success and encouragement for these blended families. (FOR ENTIRE ARTICLE CLICK HERE....)

Blended Family Today Co-Host Dan Snell met Pat Williams in 2005 at a Marriage and
Parenting Ministry Conference in Orlando FL where Williams was the Keynote Speaker.
Dan had no idea that the ministry that he and Rebecca were starting,
THE BONDED FAMILY, would one day lead them all together again on the radio interview.
God both guided and profided the way.
Pat Williams latest book, Extreme Dreams Depend on Teams
, is a 'must read' as Williams points out that extreme dreams are only fulfilled when teams are led with characteristics like respect, empowerment, commitment, trust and passion. This is true in blended family life also. From Sports to Family, Williams leads.
Recently Williams assisted his talented Daughter Karyn in her recent book
The Takeaway: 20 Unforgettable Life Lessons Every Father Should Pass On to His Child

Williams also authored a book just before Snell met Williams in 2005.
