Throwing the football or exchanging text messages with your stepchildren is just not cutting it. It may be time for a radical road trip that can break through barriers and deepen relationships all while connecting you to what God really cares about. Every year my family goes to Ghana to work with rescued trafficked children. It bonds us together and it deepens our trust in God. A mission trip for your family won't be cheap or convenient but it might just be the best therapy your family ever had.
