Focus on the Family with Jim Daly

Leann Murphy wanted to share the truth about marriage with her adult children. This wisdom became her 21-day devotionals – Becoming a Wife and Becoming a Husband. Leann shares how to “fight well,” build routines that draw you closer to Jesus, and walk through bitterness and resentment. You’ll be encouraged to contend for your marriage like never before.

How we begin our day often determines the direction of our thoughts, our emotions, and even our relationships. And for many of us, the first thing we reach for isn’t prayer or Scripture—it’s our phone. Pastor Kevin A. Thompson helps you break unhealthy “doomscrolling” habits as you start your day—by encouraging you to rely on Scripture as your source of hope and strength for daily life. He’ll walk us through what real, biblical hope looks like…how it anchors us when circumstances feel overwhelming…how it quietly shapes our values, beliefs, and everyday decisions…and how that hope naturally overflows to bless our families, our churches, and our communities.
