Focus on the Family with Jim Daly

Better Ways to Communicate With Your Spouse

How we begin our day often determines the direction of our thoughts, our emotions, and even our relationships. And for many of us, the first thing we reach for isn’t prayer or Scripture—it’s our phone. Pastor Kevin A. Thompson helps you break unhealthy “doomscrolling” habits as you start your day—by encouraging you to rely on Scripture as your source of hope and strength for daily life. He’ll walk us through what real, biblical hope looks like…how it anchors us when circumstances feel overwhelming…how it quietly shapes our values, beliefs, and everyday decisions…and how that hope naturally overflows to bless our families, our churches, and our communities.
