For decades we've helped Tom's family with parenting, adoption, and what it means to be pro-life.

It's just typical of the way focus on the family has worked over the years. They just

provide very practical, publicly based things that help people to make the right

choice and then support people in ways that really are necessary.

That's why Tom and his wife give monthly to encourage and equip other families.

Focus on the families out in the front lines of things that you know are necessary in the culture

and in the community and we as Christians are called to support God's work in that way.

It's just a blessing to us to be a part of it.

I'm Jim Daly. I'm inviting you to give monthly so that together we can save even more families.

from her transformation and we're excited for you to hear about it. We have her

inspiring story and more for you today. Your host is focused president and author Jim

Daly and I'm John Fuller. John last time Laura shared about her experience
