Summary
As a young man, John Marriott was questioning his Christian beliefs. He began analyzing and “deconstructing” his faith. Then, he RE-constructed his faith, built on the strong foundation of Jesus Christ. In an age where young people are seeking truth and authenticity, Marriott shares why many are leaving the Christian faith and how you can pray for and encourage others to rest in the truth of God’s Word. (Part 1 of 2)

| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Jim Daly for Focus on the Family, and I'd like to talk to you about our |
| 0:05.7 | option ultrasound program. |
| 0:07.8 | For the past 20 years, we have been, you have been, providing ultrasound technology and training to pregnancy centers |
| 0:15.0 | all across the United States. As a result, more than half a million women |
| 0:19.6 | who were considering abortion have chosen to protect the life of their |
| 0:24.4 | pre-born baby. That's an incredible milestone and I'm so thankful for the |
| 0:28.6 | generosity of friends like you who have partnered with us to rescue these precious moms and their children. |
| 0:35.8 | But the need is ongoing. |
| 0:37.8 | It's not over. |
| 0:38.8 | There are so many voices in today's culture who are relentless about abortion rights and they're willing to |
| 0:45.1 | sacrifice the next generation. We can't let that happen. We need to be diligent. |
| 0:51.5 | Speak up for life by giving generously to option ultrasound and we'd |

| 1:35.2 | and he joins us today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly. He'll be sharing |
| 1:38.9 | encouragement for you. If you've got a child or perhaps a grandchild who's wandering away from the faith. |
| 1:45.0 | I'm John Fuller and thanks for joining us. |
| 1:47.0 | John, this is going to be a really interesting discussion. |
| 1:50.0 | John Marriott is a terrific expert and has studied the faith and I'm looking forward to this program |
| 1:57.9 | If you're a parent like you said or a grandparent and you're worried about the kids now who who isn't? I mean I've got two boys in |
| 2:04.1 | their 20s and Jean and I pray for them often. You know they've got to live their life and |
| 2:09.4 | they've got to make the faith their own. And that's a journey. |
