Harvesting Good Fruit Through the Season
Parents, like farmers, work tirelessly for days, months, and sometimes years before seeing the fruit of their labor. On today’s broadcast, Dennis Rainey sits down with Tom and Jeannie Elliff, parents of four children and nineteen grandchildren, to talk about parenting with a rich harvest in mind.
Dear Listener,
As this year draws to a close, we’re thanking God for the many stories of families who found comfort, clarity, or renewed hope through the conversations you hear on FamilyLife. If these messages have encouraged your heart or helped your home hold more tightly to Jesus, we’re honored to have been part of your journey.
Looking ahead, many families are searching for the same reminders of God’s presence, whether in their marriages, parenting, or everyday walk of faith.
And right now, there is a generous $2 million matching gift, which means your year-end giving will be doubled, bringing gospel hope to twice as many families.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us to bless and uplift families as we enter a new year?
