The four keys are:<br /><br />🔹Honesty – True intimacy requires transparency; deception destroys trust.<br />🔹A Blessing Mentality – Choosing daily to ask, “How can I bless my spouse (or friend) today?” rather than “How can I get my needs met?”<br />🔹Killing Spiders – Removing habits, behaviors, or triggers that hurt or distance loved ones, even if they aren’t sinful in themselves.<br />🔹Born for This Mentality – Embracing adversity in relationships as God-given opportunities to show love and commitment.<br /><br />Get a copy of Gary Thomas' book, A Lifelong Love here: https://bit.ly/3UYTA6h<br /><br />--- <br />Chapters: <br />0:00 – Introduction: Why intimacy is a skill, not a state<br />2:30 – Key #1: Honesty in relationships<br />11:00 – Key #2: Developing a blessing mentality<br />15:30 – Key #3: Killing spiders—removing hidden barriers<br />20:15 – Key #4: Born for adversity—loving through hardship<br />25:40 – Real-life stories of sacrificial love<br />33:30 – Why self-love sabotages intimacy<br />36:00 – Closing prayer and resources<br /><br />--- <br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />X: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br /><br />--- <br />#FocusontheFamily #ChristianMarriage #MarriageAdvice #GaryThomas #ChristianRelationships #MarriageTips #BiblicalMarriage #RelationshipGoalsChristian #MarriageRestoration #FaithAndFamily #ChristianLiving #GodlyMarriage #MarriageHelp #IntimacyInMarriage #BlessYourSpouse<br /><br />---]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2318</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/befed211616adb9d9e9c2e605ef70729.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Trauma and God: Where Is He in My Pain? | Eliza Huie</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/trauma-and-god-where-is-he-in-my-pain-eliza-huie--74904495</link><description><![CDATA[We all experience pain, grief, and trauma—but what does God say about suffering?

Drawing from his own story of being conceived in rape, adopted into a loving family of 15, and raised by parents who shattered societal myths with sacrificial love, Ryan challenges the lies that devalue human life.<br /><br />From Lancaster County roots to founding The Radiance Foundation, Ryan unpacks how God—not government or man—gives us our worth, and how adoption unleashes purpose in ways the world can’t predict. Through humor, heartache, and hope, he speaks boldly about the sanctity of life, the brokenness that birthed his family’s mission, and the truth that every human being—regardless of circumstance—is a gift.<br /><br />This video will leave you inspired, encouraged, and challenged to see life through a lens of love, faith, and unwavering courage.<br /><br />👉 For more Lighthouse Voices conversations visit: https://www.LighthouseVoices.org<br />--- <br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />X: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br /><br />--- <br />#FocusontheFamily #lighthousevoices #ryanbomberger #ProLife #AdoptionStory #RadianceFoundation #FaithInAction #OneHumanRace #CultureOfLife #UnplannedButNotUnloved<br /><br />---]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290647028400181</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Apr 2025 09:00:52 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74904541/2095290647028400181.mp3" length="34498076" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In a culture that often equates “unplanned” with “unwanted,” Ryan Bomberger shares with the Lighthouse Voices audience a deeply personal and powerful message about the beauty of possibility.

But where’s the line between healthy concern and anxious over-parenting? In this episode of Mom Life Unscripted, Jodie sits down with Sissy Goff to unpack how anxiety affects our parenting and how we can learn to trust the process while raising resilient kids.  <br /><br />They dive into the different parenting styles—helicopter, snowplow, and even parade float parenting—and how our natural instincts to protect our children can sometimes do more harm than good. Plus, we’ll explore practical tools like breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and self-talk strategies to help both parents and kids navigate worry in a healthier way.  <br /><br />If you've ever found yourself overanalyzing your child's every move, stressing over friendships, or feeling stuck in a loop of "what ifs," this episode is for you.

Ruth Graham shares national statistics about how half of American adults feel lonely, and how loneliness can affect us emotionally and physiologically.  Ruth describes her 4 failed marriages and how her father, Billy, was very gracious and forgiving of her mistakes.  Part of Ruth’s loneliness stemmed from missing her father as a child.  She relates the Bible story of Hagar and how God sees us when we’re lonely, and she described the value of having community. On day 2, Ruth shares more stories about Bible characters who learned importance lessons in their loneliness — David, Daniel, and Abraham.  Then Ruth shares her favorite memory about a lonely Christmas where her husband went on a hunting trip, but she found ways to express her gratitude and even worship to the Lord.  Ruth describes some dangerous responses to loneliness, and  she explains how solitude is better than loneliness, but it’s a choice we have to make in our perspective.<br /><br />Get the book, Transforming Loneliness: https://bit.ly/3yrtTTD<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusontheFamilywithJimDaly #RuthGraham #TransformingLoneliness #Loneliness  #FOTFBroadcast #FocusBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290655916130360</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2024 09:00:36 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74905269/2095290655916130360.mp3" length="26077870" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Loneliness is like an ache and often we feel ashamed to admit that we feel lonely.

Monica Swanson wants to remind parents that it’s possible to “raise amazing” kids IF you rely on God’s strength instead of your own.  And you need to be intentional about instilling godly character traits into their lives.  Monica refers to “parentamorphosis” — the reality that our children will ultimately become a lot like us, so modeling our values and faith daily is important.  She also encourages parents to be mindful of the influences of friends — that we’re all the average of 5 people who influence us the most.  Moms and dads cannot simply focus on behavioral modification but also need to focus more on a child’s heart.

They share how couples can get on the same page, financially, through a “money dump” — a once per year discussion of money fears and dreams, and through a “money huddle,” where couples do a monthly assessment of their financial situation.<br /><br />Get the book, The Five Money Personalities: https://bit.ly/4bco23Q<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/4b6FBSK<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #TaylorKovar #MeganKovar #TheFiveMoneyPersonalities #WhenYourMoneyandMarriageClash #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290655916130320</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jan 2024 15:20:30 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74905378/2095290655916130320.mp3" length="25870144" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Money is one of the top reasons why couples experience conflict in marriage.

But she grew increasingly alarmed as she observed detrimental effects of “zombified kids,” emotional outbursts, loss of other interests, etc.  And she discovered alarming research that the average child spends more than 7 hours per day on a screen for entertainment purposes!  As a result, Molly realized she and other parents needed to take control of the technology impact upon her children and instituted a 2-week digital fast – no phones, no tablets, no computer games, no TV, etc.  Within few days, Molly’s kids were transformed and found plenty of other creative activities to explore.  Molly recommends a “U-N-D-O” strategy for families — “Unplug” from digital tech, “Notice” your kids (and their interests), “Develop” screen-free alternatives, and “Open” the books (eg… rediscover the joy of reading).

Often this includes discovering a glaring difference between you and your spouse. One might consider the task of cleaning to be a 15 minute chore, while the other approaches it as a herculean task – two plus hours of scrubbing the kitchen sink with a toothbrush. This is the exact predicament Joey and Kari Stageberg found themselves in. In this episode, Joey and Kari unpack the techniques to navigate the situation when differences emerge – they call it a “Merge Moment.” This moment allows a couple to come together despite their differences. Only 31% of differences are solvable, which means that couples need to be proactive and intentional when navigating and even celebrating their differences. Joey and Kari suggest being particularly observant about trigger moments and giving each other time to process those situations. Success comes when a couple truly values each other, rather than just tolerating one another.

Often this includes discovering a glaring difference between you and your spouse. One might consider the task of cleaning to be a 15 minute chore, while the other approaches it as a herculean task – two plus hours of scrubbing the kitchen sink with a toothbrush. This is the exact predicament Joey and Kari Stageberg found themselves in. In this episode, Joey and Kari unpack the techniques to navigate the situation when differences emerge – they call it a “Merge Moment.” This moment allows a couple to come together despite their differences. Only 31% of differences are solvable, which means that couples need to be proactive and intentional when navigating and even celebrating their differences. Joey and Kari suggest being particularly observant about trigger moments and giving each other time to process those situations. Success comes when a couple truly values each other, rather than just tolerating one another. And spouses cannot do this alone – it is crucial for those in a difficult season to find “Merge Mates” — a communicate that will encourage and support their marriage.<br /><br />Get the book, The Merge for Marriage: https://bit.ly/479zqux<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/47qsHwN<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #JoeyStageberg #KariTrentStageberg #TheMergeforMarriage #BlendingTwoLivesintoOneFlesh #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1485</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/f8b5a9a0eaee1e1eecdfde78c5f2391d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Becoming a Full-time, Verbal, Visible Follower of Christ - Tony Evans</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/becoming-a-full-time-verbal-visible-follower-of-christ-tony-evans--74907488</link><description><![CDATA[Being an Ambassador for Jesus is a role each of us can play, and it’s not as difficult as you might think.

She examines some parenting platitudes that well-intentioned people say—such as “Enjoy every minute!” or “Being a mom is the hardest job in the world.” With biblical truth, gritty honesty, and personal stories, Becky bolsters moms in the thick of it and, as someone who has “been there”, offers them a breath of fresh air.<br /><br />Get the book, Enjoy Every Minute: https://bit.ly/48gcbQK<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/3Zn4Sml<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #BeckyBaudouin #EnjoyEveryMinuteBook #TheTruthBehindMommyPlatitudes #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1535</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/cd0432ac02689a4b7e0f9dd4ad46fc68.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Having a Kingdom Mindset in Our Walk with God (Part 2) - Dr. Tony Evans</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/having-a-kingdom-mindset-in-our-walk-with-god-part-2-dr-tony-evans--74907358</link><description><![CDATA[When you understand the true value of eternity, you spend more time searching and longing for it.

But over time, she recognized the need for healthy rhythms to bring her life back into balance and observed how the older we get, the more our body dictates what we can and cannot do.  Jesus modeled for moms why rest and getting a break is important to help you become refreshed to tackle a new day.

In spite of these devastating wounds, Sy found healing through Jesus Christ and was able to minister to others with similar challenges.<br /><br />Get the CD: http://bit.ly/3mrcnt5<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/3GwDQkd<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #OvercomingChildhoodNeglectandAbuse #SyRogers #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1730</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/3808e60fa10881184019914f9379c1dc.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Finding Your Purpose in the Empty Nest Years (Part 2) - Jim Burns</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/finding-your-purpose-in-the-empty-nest-years-part-2-jim-burns--74907660</link><description><![CDATA[When the kids are gone, couples can discover a richer, deeper, and more fulfilling life than they ever imagined!

Exposing kids to the gruesome fact of Christ’s execution is challenging, yet the Straubs believe parents are too quick to fast-forward to the joy of Resurrection Sunday. As parents, our temptation is to shield our kids from hard emotions like anger, sadness, and shame. And yet, kids will experience those emotions – just like the disciples did.

Exposing kids to the gruesome fact of Christ’s execution is challenging, yet the Straubs believe parents are too quick to fast-forward to the joy of Resurrection Sunday.

By exploring the different emotions that 1st century people experienced during Holy Week, the Straubs are equipping parents to discuss and teach their kids how to process those same kinds of emotions.

The discussion also helps equip us for suffering that may come as we stand for our faith in a culture that desperately needs God.<br /><br />Get Dr. Lutzer's book, No Reason to Hide: http://bit.ly/3jpi756<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/3DzrcPH<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #DrErwinLutzer #LivingaLifeofBoldFaith #NoReasontoHideBook #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1720</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/2beb212a807a151fb014823704d5418c.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Investigating the Eyewitness Accounts of Jesus Christ (Part 2) - J.

On Day 2, Mike describes the power of our words – how casual words often have more impact than we realize.  He also describes the power of silence in a conversation – giving us time and space to collect our thoughts and communicate more intentionally.  He explains why “outcome-based” conversations are much more effective – what is our goal before we start a conversation?  He points to how Jesus modeled good communication in asking good questions; again, asking questions gives us time to think rather than feeling the pressure to propel a conversation.  Mike concludes with some thoughts about how humility can improve communication, and shares a story about learning from our elders about better ways to communicate.<br /><br />Get Dr. Bechtle's book, It's Better to Bite Your Tongue That to Eat Your Words: http://bit.ly/3V594El<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: http://bit.ly/3tGifif<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #DrMikeBechtle #ItsBettertoBiteYourTongueThantoEatYourWords #MakingHelpfulChangesinYourCommunication #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290660353704031</guid><pubDate>Tue, 22 Nov 2022 10:00:29 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74907677/2095290660353704031.mp3" length="25194722" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Dr. Mike Bechtle wants to help people communicate better, especially in our social media world where everybody is talking all at once and nobody is listening.

He also describes the power of silence in a conversation – giving us time and space to collect our thoughts and communicate more intentionally.  He explains why “outcome-based” conversations are much more effective – what is our goal before we start a conversation?  He points to how Jesus modeled good communication in asking good questions; again, asking questions gives us time to think rather than feeling the pressure to propel a conversation.  Mike concludes with some thoughts about how humility can improve communication, and shares a story about learning from our elders about better ways to communicate.<br /><br />Get Dr. Bechtle's book, It's Better to Bite Your Tongue That to Eat Your Words: http://bit.ly/3V594El<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: http://bit.ly/3tGifif<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #DrMikeBechtle #ItsBettertoBiteYourTongueThantoEatYourWords #MakingHelpfulChangesinYourCommunication #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1575</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/35b13fadb4f14ab41290c9eab696ebbb.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Making Helpful Changes In Your Communication (Part 1) - Dr. Mike Bechtle</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/making-helpful-changes-in-your-communication-part-1-dr-mike-bechtle--74907682</link><description><![CDATA[Dr. Mike Bechtle wants to help people communicate better, especially in our social media world where everybody is talking all at once and nobody is listening.  Mike explains we need “more weight” or value to our communication in order to be heard, and he talks about how we can use emotion in positive ways to energize our conversations.  But our attitude is important – instead of reacting to what others say, we need to more proactive and intentional in our communication.  Mike shares the definition of “confront” – to face or deal with a problem or difficult situation.  The goal is to grow and strengthen our relationships, not attack or argue.

But challenges can pop up in any relationship. And those challenges need to be sorted out to maintain peace and harmony. <br /><br />On this two-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Lysa TerKeurst reflects on the death of her marriage and how she had to place boundaries in her life to protect her own mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Accidents or unforeseen circumstances can shake our faith and bring up the question of why bad things happen when we serve a good God. On this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Jonathan Pitts, shares that struggle. For just over fifteen years, he was married to his wife Wynter, who was the niece of Dr. Tony Evans.

Accidents or unforeseen circumstances can shake our faith and bring up the question of why bad things happen when we serve a good God. On this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Jonathan Pitts, shares that struggle. For just over fifteen years, he was married to his wife Wynter, who was the niece of Dr. Tony Evans. In July 2018, Wynter—quite suddenly—passed away. She was an author and up-and-coming speaker, ministering to tween and teen girls, and her death rocked the Christian community. But through that loss and the trials surrounding it, the unexplainable circumstances and heart-rending grief, Jonathan found hope and healing.

He recalls how many leaders in the Bible started out strong in their faith but failed to stay true to God by the end of their lives.

Unfortunately, they more focused on the mechanics of their sexual activity and have no vision for God’s greater design of their intimacy with each other or with Him.  Few couples have ever prayed about their sexual relationship and may feel like God and their sexuality are disconnected.  Dr. Juli Slattery recognizes that many couples a poor foundation for understanding God’s design for intimacy — that our sexual relationship is a metaphor for the intimacy God longs to have with each one of us.  Therefore, God is very interested in our sexuality and, in fact, designed sex for our pleasure. Juli encourages married couples to have “convanent love” rather than contractual love.

But life gets in the way—squabbles with our loved ones, difficult circumstances, disappointments. And when we let those things get to us, we often feel disconnected from God. <br /><br />On this two-day Focus on the Family, John Burke reminds us that God is the source of life and of our contentment and joy.

This is a beautiful chance to be, "God with skin on" for those facing difficult circumstances. <br /><br />2. Ask questions about their life. What they enjoyed most in life? What they want their family to remember about them?<br /><br />3. Remind them that, as Christians, "We have this hope as an anchor for our souls..." - Hebrews 6:19a. <br /><br />4. If you're the one approaching death or the end of life, allow others to care for you. <br /><br />Follow I Am Pro-Life on social media! <br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/focusonlife <br />Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/i.am.prolife<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusontheFamily #IAmProLife #EndOfLife #hospice #dignity #hope]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290664854192326</guid><pubDate>Wed, 25 May 2022 02:01:31 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74908318/2095290664854192326.mp3" length="3130657" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Dr. Margaret Cottle, a hospice and palliative care doctor, advises on what to say to someone who is dying.

On this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Chris and Julie Reuschel share their story as young parents carrying a baby that would likely die before she was born.

With a preacher father and a dedicated mother, he was told tat God had a plan for his life. Music had always been in Phil’s heart, so he pursued it throughout high school and his time in the US Navy. A friend encouraged him to audition for American Idol – the last year Phil was eligible to do so. Just before his audition, his wife, Kendra, went into labor and delivered a baby girl. Phil went to the producers to let them know that he wouldn’t be able to stay for the audition because he needed to be with his wife. This story made the airwaves, and Phil immediately had a strong following. Phil was a hit on the show, but was eventually eliminated. He joined the live tour and slowly began to realize that the whole gig had become an idol in his life. With a couple record deals, Phil decided to return to his roots and stand proudly for Christ. In this interview, Phil will encourage listeners to be true to God, to live with abandon and to find freedom in Christ.<br /><br />Get Phil's book, Made to Worship: https://bit.ly/3JxiKlc<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/3wlsB9S<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #PhilStacey #MadetoWorship #AbondingIdolstoClingtoGod #AmericanIdol #LettingGoOfIdols #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290664854192187</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Mar 2022 09:00:24 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74908436/2095290664854192187.mp3" length="32340152" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>American Idol contestant and recording artist Phil Stacey grew up in a Christian home.

We use the word “love” but don’t really know what it means. Couples will pledge their love at the wedding ceremony, but they are really saying “I like being around you and I like how I feel when I’m with you, and I hope I can keep this feeling until I get tired of you.” Bob admits this is what he thought love was about when he married his wife Mary Ann. Bob then differentiated between AGAPE love and EROS (erotic) love, and why self-sacrifice is the only kind of love that is lasting. He points to the dangers of selfish ambition described in Philippians 2, and describes in humorous terms the “humblebrag” where we mask our desire for recognition in a false veil of modesty. Bob concludes with a comparison of marital love with the tenacity of a bull dog, and explains why we need God’s love supply to help us move toward unconditional love with your spouse.<br /><br />Get Bob's book, Love Like You Mean It: https://bit.ly/366g2Et<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/3ssqqxM<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #BobLepine #LoveLikeYouMeanIt #ShowingTrueLovetoYourSpouse #FocusontheFamilyMarriage #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290664854192307</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Feb 2022 10:00:06 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74908489/2095290664854192307.mp3" length="25081455" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Bob Lepine wants to address the cultural confusion about marital love today.

She was coasting as a mom of four, but one day, the façade of flawlessness came crashing down. Crystal was shocked to learn one of her children struggled at school , was considered a bully and was suicidal. This led to counseling, where Crystal discovered that her parenting choices had impacted her children in unhealthy ways. The therapist suggested she stop trying to fix and correct her children and just walk with them and love them instead. This was a revelation to Crystal. As God worked on her heart, her yelling, wounding and perfection-driven ways to interacting with her kids transformed into love-centered parenting. In this interview, Crystal will talk about the four most important choices we can make as a parent – lean in and love, listen well, lead with humility and let go. She’ll encourage moms and dads to drop their rigid rules and parents with grace for a more peaceful, faith-filled home.<br /><br />Get Crystal's book, Love-Centered Parenting: https://bit.ly/39yNC4f<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/2WfsRrq<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #CrystalPaine #LoveCenteredParenting #TheFourMostImportantChoicesYouCanMakeasaParent #PerfectionDrivenParenting #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://app.pigeonpod.cloud/feed/2095290279576735746/episode/2095290664854192293</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Sep 2021 09:00:23 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/74908555/2095290664854192293.mp3" length="26479111" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>kuyh</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Crystal Paine, best known as the Money Saving Mom, was an anxious parent, caught up in rules and perfection.

We’re honored and thrilled that you and your family are watching with us tonight. You’re in for a great show.<br /><br />Tonight, you’re going to hear two amazing pro-life stories of God working in the hearts of unlikely people, who learned first-hand that there’s brokenness and heartache in life. But God found them in their pain and uncertainty and brought them to a place of healing and redemption. It’s something only our mighty God can do!<br /><br />We’re going to thank God for His goodness and worship Him in song — led by 5-time Grammy Award nominee Matthew West, who will perform a free concert on stage tonight.<br /><br />Along the way, you’ll see some of the pro-life heroes from the SeeLife 2021 Digital Journey episodes — Amy Ford from Embrace Grace, Nick Vujicic from Life Without Limbs, Robert and Trevor Hendershot from Higher Angels, Toni Clarke from Assure Women’s Center, and pro-life physician Dr. William Lile.<br /><br />Plus, we’ve got some SURPRISES in store, as well. So, once again, pull up a seat and join us for an evening of inspiration and encouragement.<br /><br />Learn more about See Life 2021: https://bit.ly/3zuIuZT<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#SeeLife2021 #LoveEveryHeartbeat #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>6553</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/066a6699cb69bf4267a7ab7d975036a4.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Preparing Your Family for Any Situation - Kathi Lipp</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/preparing-your-family-for-any-situation-kathi-lipp--74908523</link><description><![CDATA[Emergencies can strike at any time.

At sixteen, her dad encouraged her to go on a five-week mission-trip with him to India. Not only was it her first trip outside the United States, but it was also her first time flying. Excited to try something new, she spent a lot of time preparing for the trip, which meant sacrificing opportunities with peers during her sixteenth summer. <br /><br />Today, she says it was worth it because of the memories she and her dad made on that mission-trip, which they still love talking about.

Turner and Tara Simkins began noticing that their 6-year-old son was acting strange, and a doctor’s visit confirmed a parent’s worst nightmare: Leukemia. For the next four years, the Simkins family faced seemingly insurmountable circumstances. At one point, the doctor told them “there are no more options” and gave their son 3 months to live—but Turner and Tara, fueled by grit and a strong faith in God, pressed on, looking for alternate options. Their son survived and is now a teenager. In this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Turner and Tara sit down with Jim and John to tell their story.

Turner and Tara Simkins began noticing that their 6-year-old son was acting strange, and a doctor’s visit confirmed a parent’s worst nightmare: Leukemia. For the next four years, the Simkins family faced seemingly insurmountable circumstances. At one point, the doctor told them “there are no more options” and gave their son 3 months to live—but Turner and Tara, fueled by grit and a strong faith in God, pressed on, looking for alternate options. Their son survived and is now a teenager. In this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, Turner and Tara sit down with Jim and John to tell their story. Their concrete faith in God will inspire you to keep hope—even in situations where the odds seem utterly impossible to overcome.<br /><br />Get the CD of this broadcast: https://bit.ly/2PG7Out<br /><br />Get Turner Simkins book, Possibilities: https://possibilitiesbook.com/<br /><br />For more resources on this topic: https://bit.ly/2O6V5Aw<br /><br />--- <br /><br />Check out Focus on the Family on social media! <br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/focusonthefamily<br />Twitter: https://twitter.com/FocusFamily <br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/focusonthefamily<br />Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/focusonthefamily<br /><br />--- <br /><br />#FocusBroadcast #TurnerandLanaSimkins #KeepingFaithDuringChildhoodCancer #HowtoDealWithChildhoodCancer #FOTFBroadcast #FocusontheFamily]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1827</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/875e12d8490fcec373204eed7fc4be66.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Finding Hope and Joy While Single Parenting - Linda Ranson Jacobs</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/finding-hope-and-joy-while-single-parenting-linda-ranson-jacobs--74910154</link><description><![CDATA[Linda Ranson Jacobs thought her life was going great – she and her husband were involved in their children and happily raising two kids.

They address the problem of teen entitlement and how to combat that with serving others.

After Colin overdosed on cold medicine and ibuprofen a couple years ago, Paul realized he’d never shared his own depression and anxiety struggles with his son. In his new book published by Focus on the Family, Paul opens up about depression and shines a light on the complicated signs, including feelings of sorrow, irritation, guilt, and worthlessness; fatigue and insomnia; changes in appetite and interests; trouble concentrating or thinking clearly; and even suicidal thoughts. <br /><br />In this interview, he shares about his personal struggle with depression and how he learned to manage his depression.

After Colin overdosed on cold medicine and ibuprofen a couple years ago, Paul realized he’d never shared his own depression and anxiety struggles with his son. In his new book published by Focus on the Family, Paul opens up about depression and shines a light on the complicated signs, including feelings of sorrow, irritation, guilt, and worthlessness; fatigue and insomnia; changes in appetite and interests; trouble concentrating or thinking clearly; and even suicidal thoughts. <br /><br />In this interview, he shares about his personal struggle with depression and how he learned to manage his depression. A friend encouraged him to start jogging, which led to Paul running major races and marathons. He suggests looking out, not in, forward, not back, up, not down. In terms of faith, he encourages prayer, giving, going to church, and seeking out the “thin” places (where the veil between heaven and earth is thin).
