| 0:29.9 | The choice is, will the adults struggle through it, get accountability, therapy, grow up, do hard |
| 0:41.0 | things, or will you force the kids to struggle? It's a trade-off. Someone's going to do the hard |
| 0:46.6 | thing. It has to be the adults. Well, that's Katie Faust, and she joins us today on Focus on the |
| 0:52.4 | Family with Jim Daly to talk about how you can speak up for |
| 0:55.5 | the rights of children. Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller. You know, John, I say this a lot, |
| 1:00.6 | but focus on the family. We are here to help your family thrive in Christ. We've been at it 48 years now. |

| 1:54.1 | which she shares about in our new documentary Truth Rising, which we created in partnership with |
| 2:00.4 | the Colson Center. It premieres |
| 2:02.5 | today and features Oz Guinness and John Stone Street as they talk with and explore this |
| 2:08.8 | cultural moment that we're facing. Altogether, this film offers a Christ-centered path forward, |
| 2:15.4 | and it'll inspire you to rise up, to speak truth with courage |
| 2:19.3 | and conviction, and to make a difference right where you are. |
