Jean Marie Davis lived a horrific life as a sex trafficking victim for more than 20 years, where she was verbally and sexually abused, tortured, threatened by guns, and forced to live as a prostitute. She finally found freedom when she was invited to a pregnancy resource center (PRC) and introduced to Jesus Christ. Jean discovered her new identity in Christ, found practical help and a new life, and today is the executive director of a PRC in Vermont.

A lot of families enjoy teasing each other. But parents need to be aware of the risks because children can easily confuse teasing with criticism. Or teasing behavior may actually mask underlying motives of wanting attention, selfishness, or a power-play to make someone feel less valuable. Playful teasing may be okay as long as it’s balanced with genuine love, humility, and lots of encouragement. https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2024-04-29?refcd=2051303 https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/the-unexpected-pitfalls-of-teasing-in-your-family/#featured-resource-cta https://podcasts.focusonthefamily.com/show/focus-on-the-family-broadcast/
