The Best Podcast!
I have been listening to the Focus on the Family broadcast for 27 years now, starting when I was a young married, listening on my commute to work, and then continuing through the years of parenting, and now preparing for the empty nest stage. I can’t describe the number of ways these broadcasts have helped my marriage, my faith, and shaped the way we raised our children! At every stage of life, Focus on the Family’s broadcasts and resources help me not to just survive, but thrive!

Jim and John know exactly what the listener wants to know
Thank you for this awesome resource! I try to listen every day, and even if I don’t feel like the topic is going to necessarily pertain to me, I’m always left with a better understanding and feeling encouraged for the day. Jim and John have such a gift in knowing exactly the questions/scenarios the listener wants answered from
the guest. There have been many times, just as I think to myself “but what about”....Jim and John are my voice and ask the guest to speak directly to the person in this circumstance. I tell everyone I can about this podcast! Thank you!

Real, practical help
Topics presented are on the mark and done in a way that is interesting and meaningful. They keep to a schedule instead rambling endlessly like is found on some podcasts. Nearly every episode has positive take-aways that can help anyone who wants to improve family relationships.

Excellent podcast
This podcast has been instrumental in helping me become a better husband, father and man of God. I really appreciate Smalleys and how honest they are with the audience about the struggles of parenting and marriage.

Marital Conflict
Leslie Vernick has been gifted by God to share her insight into marital conflict. Hard to hear but often the truth hurts. Thank you for sharing the information and insight. Working on our marriage daily.

But why...?
I just listened to an amazing podcast by Cynthia Tobias. But can we please stop recommending teachings by women to only woman and adolescents or children when it is equally relevant to men? It conveys that Focus believes women are not worthy to have their voices heard by men. Jesus revolutionized the perception of women in his time. Why can’t we in the church acknowledge that? I love to hear the poignant teachings of a man but a woman’s message can carry the same impact.

Fills in gaps
I go to church regularly, read my Bible, and fellowship at a Mops (mother’s of preschoolers) ministry. Focus on the family has filled in the gaps and ministered to me in so many areas. Parenting, marriage, self care, controversial issues, and current events! It’s all there. Thank you Focus.

Always Helpful and often Needed!
My family started listening to the Focus broadcast on radio in NYC on the way to school in 2011. As we went through some very turbulent time in the years to come God seemed to give all of us a daily shot of just what we needed. Now we have moved and don’t have the radio broadcast but the podcast keeps us encouraged and challenged to live out our faith before others and to thrive in our walk with Christ.

Over the years
Focus on the Family has been an integral part of my spiritual and emotional growth in raising our children for the Lord. I started listening in 1981 when our first child was born, and I am still listening for my continued growth in my marriage, in my relating to our grown children, and in my wonderful role as a grandmother. What matters more than passing on the love of Jesus to the next generation? I will be eternally grateful for this ministry!

Changed our family
This Focus on the Family podcast has taught me how to communicate better with my husband, appreciate our differences and stop the bickering. It helped me look to God and changed MY heart. I am a better parent and wife and we truly enjoy our family life now thanks to so many messages I have heard here. Thank you Focus on the Family!
