6:00 . Love, sacrifice. The measure of love.
awesome
muslim here, love this podcast.. something we share n value most in life after god: FAMILY. ..i found some refreshing perspectives on handling family matters.. we r all unique n cuz god made us so..tho in my community i always hear of parents pushing kids to be a carbon copy of self n end up in bad relationship n cant understand y. n repeat over n over which is defination of insanity i feel we must acknowledge our kids may be different. Sooner we realize the better..n we need to apply ourselves n adjust approach n not giv them 1 size fit all approach. all this is possible if parents value their kids as God's beings as oppose to their own property, they r indeed a blessing from god n a big responsibility on parents' shoulders..this responsibility we should fulfill, inshallah(God willing). thank you for great material.
Please stop with Emerson. Thanks, all women.
Its huge and good amount. check Family Tree Maker - https://www.familytreemakerhelps.com
this episode is only 7 minutes long
I doubt anyone's going to read this who needs it, but as a 16 year old who has been addicted to my phone, I agree with everything that they've said in this episode, but regarding the timers on how long someone can be on their phone, I think that it's perfectly fine, but it won't solve the root problem, but there's obviously nothing wrong with doing it.
this is so encouraging to me, as a highschooler I have felt called to reach out to lgtbq communities in my school, and alot of times it seems like they'll never find Christ, but hearing the testimony of a woman who was an active lesbian, who now follows Jesus, gives me a new hope for them. Thank you.
JESUS IS BETTER THAN CARE BEARS!!
Great helpful program
I have no problem with Christianity itself, but I think the blend of (a version of) Christianity and politics that comprises the American right to be incredibly toxic and damaging, in truth only marginally better than Islamic fundamentalism. That "Christianity" is nothing but fascism with Bible quotes. I believe Christians are largely good people at heart, but the direction in which many are headed is going to greatly damage Christianity in the future.
Beautiful.
I wonder how many husbands listen to this because their wife are recommending to listen to it.
lets pray for President Joe, not just those who believe what we believe, and let's not just get stuck on abortion and see trafficking. Realize God sees any sin as a sin, different weights but a sin is a sin. My point is, as we pray for this nation lets remember the leadership of our New president Joe Biden and His team. That's how we start from home.
This was very informative. I'd be interested in an entire podcast series from Christian doctors giving their perspective on various issues.
My sister sent this to me this morning! I don’t even know if she knows how Intune she is with the Hoky Spirit! This podcast alone confirmed, affirmed, reaffirmed haha all of that! God is great and I thank God for this episode! God bless!
Is there a place I can get some pro-life merch like tshirts? I know I can get some off Amazon, but I was wondering if I could get some merch and it go directly to the pro-life movement
some wonderful tips, thank you 😃👏👏 great job!
chunk of episode was cut
Thank you so much for all you are doing to support families and the Christian faith! A special thanks for your wisdom and campassion in sharing this story. My family and so many others struggle with the issue of having a special needs child and finding ways for them to be engaged with their community. It was truly uplifting to hear someone who gets it, the challenges, fears, tears, tiny successes, laughter, and blessings. So blessed to have found this podcast!
