Summary

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Randy and Leslie Bixby, the founders of The Family Reformation Project, to explore how their personal healing journey as a couple became a transformative mission to restore families everywhere. They share how pain became purpose, leading to a movement rooted in the belief that "family is God’s original government." Through their story, listeners will discover how healing—though deeply personal—can become a generational gift, restoring identity, order, and legacy. We dive into the six life-giving protocols they’ve created to help families align with God’s design, offering hope and structure for those who feel lost or broken. If you've ever believed your story is too damaged to be redeemed, this episode is for you.

0:53.1	a little behind the curtains moment,
0:55.0	it was like six months ago. It is true. But in the world of release dates, last week we talked
1:00.8	about that you weren't going to sing. And now here you are back singing again. I know.
1:04.5	Well, I just had to shake it up. I had to keep the audience guessing. And here's the best part.
1:09.0	Home, family. This is kind of what the episode got

1:25.8	we are doing this December on the gift of recovery.

1:31.7	Why is it or maybe speak to this for a minute, John?
1:34.3	How can our stories be a gift to someone else?
1:38.4	Well, I was just reminded recently of honestly when I was 18 and somebody went first with their story for the first time,
