What we all face storms in life. Troubles we didn't expect and they may be minor inconvenience, rain when you were expecting us any day and left the car windows open.

There are other storms that come with such intensity and ferocity that you wonder how you're going to survive. Maybe a physical illness leading to disability or a difficult child or anger in your marriage or financial ruin.

Today on Focus on the Family, we're going to examine some of the common storms that we face and how God wants to help you weather those and navigate those with joy, peace and hope.

Your host is Focus President and author Jim Daly and I'm John Foller.

Today we're going to speak primarily to wives and mothers but I want to urge the men to listen in because we're going to learn a lot as well, especially about how your wife thinks and that's an important thing for us.

For most marriages, I believe women are the emotional epicenter of the home. We have little cliches that reinforce that.

Like, you know, if mama ain't happy, no one's happy or the mom's the thermostat of the home, if she's in a good spot, we're all in a good spot.

And I think that just captures that idea that when there's emotional stability with mom, things are pretty much at peace.

So this topic today is going to be important for us as husbands and we want to talk with a returning guest who's written a great book, help I'm drowning.

This is the sometimes emotional feelings that moms are having. There's just so much going on and we're going to cover that topic today.

And Sally Clarkson is back with us. She's been here before obviously. She's an author, speaker, podcast host, a blogger.

She's been speaking to people for several decades, serving women, especially and inspiring them in their faith.

And Jim, I remember when my wife, Deena, discovered Sally's writings and that really spoke to her at that season, especially with younger kids in the home of feeling overwhelmed.

Sally has more than 20 books. And as you said, Jim, help I'm drowning, weathering the storms of life with grace and hope is going to form the basis for our conversation today.

And to get your copy of this great book, just click the link in the show notes.

Sally, welcome back to focus.

Hi, LIFE being here.
