    #06: Find the Time

    Host Katy Adams is back from California and joined with Becky and Ashley to talk about an important topic: marriage. We explore how marriage is affected by foster care and adoption, going through difficult seasons, and how to find the time to be intimate. Also, we laugh a lot and have a few moments that made certain people blush. Ha! Have a listen and enjoy!

Female Focused

A place of peace, encouragement, and deliverance from the stressful life of motherhood to foster and/or adoptive children. While encouraging to females, the program does not focus on the fathers at all, leaving a hole in the/their ministry. They suggest the fathers/husbands purchase annual retreat tickets for their wives, yet if no males are listening, I doubt they got the memo.
