The Surprising Blessings of an Unplanned Pregnancy

April 15, 2024

If your family is dealing with an unplanned pregnancy, it can be a very difficult time, with lots of emotions and potential outcomes. In this Focus on the Family chapel message, a winsome mother-daughter team share how an unplanned pregnancy rocked their world, the confusion that resulted, and how the daughter found strength through biblical counseling at a local pregnancy resource center. Ultimately, the baby was adopted by an extended family member and is growing up delighted to have an ‘extra’ mom.


Your gift to support our Option Ultrasound program will equip pregnancy medical clinics across the country with ultrasound machines, resources, and sonography training for nurses, so that a mother considering abortion can see her baby, hear that tiny heartbeat . . . and be moved to choose life. Give now, and we’ll say thanks with a copy of the book Joy Will Come: Exchange Shame for Redemption plus free audio download of “The Surprising Blessings of an Unplanned Pregnancy”

The Unexpected Pitfalls of Teasing in Your Family

April 29, 2024

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/
