God can change patterns that have developed that are detrimental and he wants to make us more

like Christ every day and the more we become like Christ the better parents were going to be,

the better husband and wife were going to be. That husband wife were going to be that's Dr Gary Chapman. He's our guest today on focus on the family.

Thanks for joining us your host is focus president and author Jim Daly and I'm John Fuller.

John, there's no better place for light to shine than in the darkness, right?

I mean, that's where it shines the brightest.

And it's a fair lesson in our situation today, you know, as things become darker, we shouldn't be fearful,

we shouldn't be anxious, we should realize that God's light can shine all the brighter in darkness.

And so I feel I'd rather live in a time

when the Lord is moving and you can see it tangibly

like we can today.

And the reminder is even one light, one person can make a difference.

Matthew 516 tells us to let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, not your good words, see your good

works and glorify your father who is in heaven. I can't think of anyone that exemplifies

this more or better than Dr. Gary Chapman, who is a good friend

to the ministry and a frequent guest here on Focus on the Family.

Many of you know him as the author of the five love languages talk about a concept

that really struck so many people I think over 20 25 million copies have been sold

something like that that's what we call a

blockbuster. That's when you're tapping into a nerve of the human condition and

boy did it deliver so many great spiritual truths and today we have the honor and

privilege to talk to Gary Chapman who has come out with another book his most recent life lessons and love languages what I've learned on my unexpected journey.
