You guys should do one with the guests being single Dads. There are unique challenges single Dad's go through that even single mom's for the most part don't deal with. Some of the struggles are the same but some are unique to Dads.
Thank you, Jim, for being tough on men and calling out sin. So many churches don’t intervene or discipline men who are abusing or leaving their wives and children. We have an epidemic of cowardice too 😭💔🙏
You must not know what PTSD is, or anxiety, anger. Sorry l am not a perfect man like you or Jim! Do you know exactly what he or they go thru? It's like a person swerving on the road. All you know is that they're a bad driver or distracted. You don't know the root of the problem. Continue to be judgemental like "Christians" do. That is what drives sinners away. Remember you used to be one.... and perhaps still one. Don't judge people on the decision they make and not have a clue what is in their head. I'm pretty sure you have made every perfect decision and are perfect in every aspect of your life. You are what followers of Christ like me, don't like about the church. You think your better than others because we make mistakes or we make decisions you don't agree with..... not knowing what's in my head.
People do what they do for their own reasons and while it may not have anything to do with you, their choices can leave a Grand Canyon sized impact on your life. The two common denominators all people share is we all experience pain and we all desperately need a Savior.
I’m so happy that single moms are being honored and not maligned as being “inadequate”. Sometimes that’s just how it is. Many times it’s best to not remarry or date for the sake of your children.
Nurturing and protecting the children is vital. In The Ten Best Decisions A Single Mom Can Make I talk about reasons why moms may consider raising their children in a stable solo parent home.
My dad was not an alcoholic, but he verbally abused my mom. Sadly, my mom snapped and lost her mind. 😢 The church that we were going to at the time was a church that didn't love like Jesus. Our non Christian friends loved my family through those difficult days and years. My mom went to be with Jesus last month. Please seek help if you are in any kind of abusive relationship. My husband and I have been blessed with a wonderful church family that loves us the way Jesus does. 🙏🛐✝️
As a child, my church similarly didn't come alongside my mom. My counselor explained that the church has not known how to treat single mom famiies. Pam and Bill Farrel's church was an exception as they understood from Pam's experience. Today's church is doing better, possibly because people like you and me are involved.
We laughed again by having fat night where we stuffed out sweat clothes with pillows at the dinner table. Another night we came to the table with goofy hats on. It’s fun to come to dinner with a different theme for the night. Eat under the table too‼️😃🤣❤️🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Lol as a mom who actually was a hero in Gujarat and who first brought in technology some of what they says makes sense. However we need to see that we can do big things even when we feel overlooked or slighted by others. I met several single moms and had a single dad for a while so to be fair, and I’ve been able to keep a job and live pretty well.

Yes. Great job Jim! “…it irks me that we don’t live up to what we profess.” You were compassionate, but we also need to call stuff out.
I'm thankful Focus on the Family courageously talked about the topic.

And many of these absent fathers call themselves Christian.

What Jim is saying applies to all of us as believers. I’m not a dad OR a mom but I receive that as an exhortation as well. ❤
Godly principles cross over to all areas of life.
Another great helpful broadcast! Thank you for the many resources presented that offer wisdom, inspiration, etc. in whatever path we may be on
Thankful you connected and take advantage of the resources.
I just LOVE your work! Since my time in Australia I wish we d had something equal in Germany.
I was tickled to be titled as a Mum by the Focus folks in Australia.
Thank you for this ❤
