In our ever-busy day and age, parents have a lot to juggle. As a parent myself, I know it’s tempting to give our children a quick “yes” for some down time, but with so much content available, it’s hard to properly vet whether it will build them up or bring them down.

That’s why I’m so thankful for the entertainment and resources offered by Focus on the Family Canada. For more than 40 years, Focus Canada has been a name families can trust. That includes being a source of entertainment and education for the whole family. I can always rest assured that the content is biblically sound and will strengthen my children’s relationship with Christ.

While I’m always thrilled to showcase our wide variety of faith-building resources, here are a few selections I’d especially love to tell you about:

Empowered to Love
When life throws us non-stop challenges and curveballs, how can we have any hope of building a fulfilling and intimate marriage? How do we move from stressed and stretched to energized and inspired, finding the strength to transform our lives and relationship? Hope Restored counsellors Robert Paul and Tara Lalonde equip husbands and wives with practical, biblically based tools to transform their personal lives and grow their marriage into something they’ll both love. Instead of just passively hoping and praying for something better, couples will actively embark on a journey of caring for themselves and their most important relationship.
