Hi, Jim Daly here. Today's cultured deeply needs help, but in times like these, the light of Christ can shine even brighter.

So be encouraged to share his light in this broken world. Listen to the refocus with Jim Daly podcast.

Without time limitations, I'll have deep heartfelt discussions with fascinating guests who will encourage you to share God's grace, truth and love.

Check out the podcast at refocuswithjimdaly.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Life and death is in the power of the tongue. So almost like with war, God gives us a positive vision of how communication can be used in part life, but He equally gives us negative ideas of how this communication can really hurt people.

We need to impart light even in our disagreements because we know how profoundly changes people and then be very careful your words really hurt.

That's Dr. Tim Mulehof reflecting on the ways God used this communication to provide grace in our relationships with others.

We're really pleased to have him back as we dive into this subject further and this is Focus on the Family with your host, Focus President and author Jim Daly. Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller.

John, I'm really pleased to have Tim back again. We covered some good ground last time. Ask some tough questions. Tim's a professor. So he's used to those collegiate style questions, you know, professor. Tell me the truth. And I think we hit that last time.

We did discuss the common dilemma that our world experiences, all the pain that's going on. Probably the most common question is if God is real, then why do children suffer?

That usually pops up as number one. And I think Tim did an excellent job last time, kind of explaining God will work miracles, God will work through common grace is what He talked about in terms of invention, machines that detect cancer.

I mean, the way that He works through human beings to innovate and then sometimes He's silent. And it's beyond us to understand when God does what and how.

And that's really the bottom line. Do we have faith in Christ and faith in the Father simply because He is. And that is the question.

And if you missed any of that first part, stop by our YouTube channel or get our app, stop by the show notes. There's a lot of detail and great content in that first portion of the conversation.

And Dr. Tim Mulehof is professor of communication at Biolo University. And he also is a speaker with Biolo Center for Marriage and Relationships. And he teaches conflict resolution and family communication. A lot of practical topics. And he's written a book called Eyes to See, Recognizing God's Common Grace in an unsettled world.

This is an excellent resource. We'll encourage you to stop by the website to get a copy of it or give us a call. And again, the details are in the show notes or call 800, the letter A in the word family.

Tim, welcome back to focus. It's great to be with you guys. You sound really busy. How'd you have time to come out here?

I always make time for focus. My goodness. That's amazing. You're doing a lot every day. But probably one of the things and I'm a little envious being able to be with college students and talk about what I'm doing.

I'm just going to be with the students and talk about life with them. And that's something I wish I could have capacity to do. But is it a fun environment for you?

It is a great environment. It keeps you young. That's for sure. That's the good part.

And challenging. And challenging. It's become more challenging. I mean, we are going through a tough time, mental health wise, partly because social media has had an interesting effect.

And we are going to do the world and all it's good, bad and ugly all the time, all the time. You can have 24 hour access to it if you want. And we know our students are really connected to that phone.
