Web Radio - NEW!
We’re testing an online radio service, “Focus Web Radio,” and I’d like to invite you to be among the first to listen in here.
Your feedback is valued - why not let us know what you think?
New Podcast Launched
Focus on the Family’s “Boundless” team has a new podcast! Here’s more on the content and approach.
Tonight Only: Talk To The Experts
Tonight only, our friends Bill and Pam Farrel are participating in a special edition of the Focus on the Family marriage forum. This is your opportunity to interact with these folks about anything on your mind.
Differences In Love?
During the honeymoon, the two lovebirds had a picture-book time. They basked in the joy of their new life together, with unhurried conversations, quiet moments of closeness and sightseeing in the mountains.
Penetrating the bliss, however, was a spat that would bring about hurt feelings and some confusion. She wanted a special momento of the time, a piece of pottery from a little shop. He was too practical to “waste” money on such a trivial expense, espcially one that “would probably only break before we get it home.” It took quite a while for those hurts to heal.
My wife and I have known each other since 1983, and during the years we’ve been together we’ve enjoyed - even delighted - in the differences between us. Early on, however, we had more than a few instances of learning about those differences, and some of those events were pretty difficult to work through. That honeymoon illustration reflects what we had to deal with during our first week together.
Married couples know all too well that there are inevitably significant differences between them. Bill and Pam Farrell speak knowledgably about those differences, offering excellent insight and some wonderful humor along the way. Every married couple should hear this two-day series. Why not copy the link and send it onto someone who might benefit from their thoughts?
Reasons To Pray
As we head into 2008, there are so many reasons to pray earnestly and with conviction.
Listen to this program for insights about how you can direct your prayer life to become more focused and effective in the coming year. The guests are “prayer warriors” who spend a great deal of time on their knees.
Joyful Laughter
There are usually moments of joyful laughter our monthly chapel events. Listen in as Dr. Dobson dishes out some humor - and is the subject of some pointed barbs that caused the audience to roar with laughter.
