    In the past two years our family has been faced with grandson guilty of sexual assault on his sister and we were his caretakers during first year of probation. His father determined this was a good time to divorce our daughter, that mother trying to get healing for victim, and perpetrator while caring for siblings.

  • Rich learning

    As a mom of seven kids and a nursery leader at church, it’s very hard for me to sit down in this season of my life and do the in-depth gospel study that I wish that I could. This podcast helps me to really get into the Come Follow Me lessons and to understand and learn from so many who have so much knowledge to share. Thank you so much for all you do!
