Well, welcome to Family Talk, the Broadcast Division of the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. I'm Roger Marsh. Thanks so much

for listening today. You know, many of us have or will experience some type of

hardship in our

hardship in our lives, and it's the unexpected trials that can be so challenging. In today's classic program,

Dr Dobson is joined by his guest Jan Harrison

to discuss how she made it through her own dark valley.

Jan is an author, a speaker, and a Bible study teacher who has inspired

thousands of women over the past 20 years with her ministry service

and yet she experienced life after the storm when

her son James died unexpectedly.

Jan Harrison serves on the board of With Open Eyes, a ministry co-founded by her husband and their son to accelerate the

gospel in Africa. She and her husband Frank have three grown daughters and make their home

in Charlotte, North Carolina.

On today's Family Talk broadcast, Jan will be talking with Dr Dobson about her journey of grief

and her hope in Jesus, which she writes about in her book, Life After the Storm.

So now let's join Dr. James Dobson and his guest Jan Harrison

right now on Family Talk.

Our pastor a few years ago preached a sermon on this subject he said that everyone and he put the emphasis on everyone, is either in pain or will eventually be in pain. There are no exceptions.

This is the human condition, and I believe it's true.

Jesus told his disciples right before his crucifixion, in this world you will have

tribulation. I mean you can count on it. But be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.

You know that is one of the strangest scriptures in the Bible because tribulation and good cheer don't really go together.
