FamilyLife Today®

Stepping into a new year with big questions—about your kids’ faith, your next move, or whether God still writes surprising love stories? This warm, laughter-stuffed episode introduces FamilyLife’s new president, Luke Middendorf, and his wife Kristina--through elevator meet-cutes, campus-ministry moments, and the kind of real-life faith that reshapes families. It’s a hope-packed reminder that God still actively pursues, guides, and opens doors--sometimes literally.
