    September 6,2024 episode was an answer to prayers. I love my church family but as my life changed I knew something was missing and I couldn’t figure out what or why.

    Dave and Ann are REAL, honest people and having both husband and wife perspectives is so valuable. They are funny, and every interview is engaging and points me to Jesus. Couldn’t ask for more.

  • Favorite Podcast!

    I listen to a variety of podcasts and Family Life Today has always been my favorite! Ann and Dave are always laughing with each other and the people they interview, so I always feel like I’m entering into a living room of people who are having a blast yet learning about the Lord with vulnerability—and I’m invited! Though I’ve never me Ann and Dave, there podcast makes me feel like I know them and they are some of my mentors as I navigate being a young mom and wife.

Q: What made you write this book, Love Does Not Conquer All?
Peter explains that loving someone who has no concept of love requires sustained, practical presence; the book is written to guide foster and adoptive parents (and even biological parents) to avoid projecting their own childhood into their kids, and to emphasize meeting children where they are.
