How to Positively Influence Your Adult Child

November 21, 2024 • Guest: Gary Chapman

Eventually, Sarah’s dad had to ask for help and that led to many emotional, physical and spiritual challenges for Sarah’s parents and family. Sarah found comfort in God’s abiding presence, even when the stress and struggles with Beauty seemed overwhelming. https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2024-11-18?refcd=2171406 https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/finding-gods-beauty-in-alzheimers-and-dementia/#featured-resource-cta https://focusonthefamily.com/podcastsurvey/
