Christian talk and teaching shows heard on Family Life Radio include Intentional Living with Dr. Randy Carlson. In 2024, in an effort to reduce confusion with the New York and Pennsylvania-based Family Life Network, Family Life Communications announced its rebrand as Intentional Life Media. The radio network continues to use the "Family Life Radio" name.
Intentional Life Media is rated as a four-star charity by Charity Navigator. It is also certified by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.
History
Warren Bolthouse first launched Family Life Radio in his basement studio with a 30-minute program. In 1966, Family Life Radio's first station aired in Mason, Michigan.
In 2024, Family Life Communications rebranded as Intentional Life Media to grow "beyond radio to offer a richer and more diverse experience through digital content, music streaming, live events, community service, and more.” The company operates its Family Life Radio network across 11 states.
In February 2026, Best Christian Workplaces recognized Intentional Life Media.

Evan Carlson is Intentional Life Media's president and CEO. He previously served as the ministry's executive vice president before succeeding his father, Dr. Randy Carlson.
