P.S. As a reminder of the great impact Christian radio continues to have, please read this listener comment to the Focus on the Family broadcast with guest Tiffany Lee (Plumb) titled, “God Used Our Friends and Family to Save Our Marriage”:
God used the broadcast with Plumb to speak to Julie. She finds her story mirroring what the Lee’s went through. Julie said her husband left and that she wants to save her marriage. It is always good to hear how God uses the broadcasts to minister to people. She needed hope. She said that she has been a mediocre Christian and that God has been using this circumstance to draw her and family closer to Himself.
