Hey, Shelby Abbott here. Before we get to the program today, I wanted to share with you one

encouraging post that was made recently about family life today. One of our listeners said,

this podcast is my new favorite. Every topic is so relevant, it's helpful, light-hearted,

and yet goes deep. The topics they choose are exactly what I want to discuss. I can listen to every

episode while going about my daily life and the resources they offer are so valuable. Thank you

for this podcast. Wow, that's just so encouraging to read. Thanks so much for listening and allowing

us to help you pursue the relationships that matter most. If you want to give to help this

ministry continue to help marriages and families, you can go to familylifetoday.com. And thanks to

some generous ministry partners, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar until we hit two million

dollars. That's for a one-time gift, or if you become a monthly partner right now, your monthly

gifts will be doubled for the next 12 months. Again, you can head over to familylifetoday.com.

Okay, now on with today's show.

It's sad to say, but many of us have a life that has lost the zeal and the joy of our salvation,

and now we find ourselves living by odds and sheds. Like, I ought to be doing this. I should be

bearing fruit. And here's the crazy maker. Jesus said, if you abide in me and my word abides in you,

you will bear fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing. And it's to my Father's glory that you

bear much fruit, showing yourself to be my disciples.

Welcome to Family Life Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most.

I'm Ann Wilson. And I'm Dave Wilson, and you can find us at familylifetoday.com or on our family

life app. This is Family Life Today.

All right, I'm going to tell you just fasten your seat belts. You're in for a ride today.

It's going to be fun. We've got Carl Klassen back in the studio.
