Rhonda Robinson is the mother of nine. Over the course of her marriage and child-rearing career, she has had the unique perspective of watching parenting and social trends rise and fall through three decades of raising her own children.

As a mother, and now a grandmother with a rapidly growing population of grandchildren (16 at last count), Rhonda’s passion for the security of the next generation has flowed into her weekly column “Against the Tide”. Using a blend of investigative journalism and disarming humor, Rhonda provides readers in Central Illinois with thoughtful insight colored with a Christian perspective on the social, political and parenting issues confronting families in a post-Christian culture.

Currently Rhonda’s column is carried by East Central Communications, a division of The News-Gazette, and read in weekly newspapers throughout Central Illinois.
