The trail was the biggest, I think, feeling at that moment.

And just, you know, this belief that that could be going on in my home and in my marriage.

When Jenny discovered her husband's emotional affair, she was devastated.

Thankfully, she found resources at our website to heal her marriage.

I think focus on the family has been almost like a conduit to kind of pull together.

Two lives that's been broken.

It pulls them together through brokenness, through hurt and heartache.

I'm Jim Daley.

Working together, we can rescue more hurting marriages like Jenny's and Give Families Hope.

Please join our marriage restoration team by calling 800, the letter A in the word family.

Or donate at focusonthefamily.com slash hope.

And your gift will be doubled.

For Christians, hope is not the same thing as optimism.

An optimist thinks things will always turn out okay.

But that's not really true.

I mean, look at what has happened to the church over the our 2000 years of history.

We're a church of martyrs and confessors.

That's Rod Drear and he's our guest today on focusonthefamily.

It's one of our top programs of the year as we're just beginning our best of the best airings from 2022.

Rod shared some really powerful stories of Christians who served God amid persecution.

And our listeners responded in a really big way.

So thank you for letting us know how much this program meant to you.
