One of my greatest privileges as an author has been to get to visit Focus on the Family in Colorado Springs (twice!) for a radio and podcast interview. Touring the facility, learning more about all of the amazing family-building ministries at work, and being interviewed by Jim Daly only deepened my respect for Focus on the Family!  I was sent home from my last interview with a little goodie bag, including the book: “Finding Home” by Jim Daly. I knew Jim had a grown up with many difficulties, so I started reading the book on my flight home. And I couldn’t put the book down. As soon as I finished I reached out to Jim to ask if we could swap seats and I could interview HIM for my podcast!   I hope you enjoy getting to know Jim in a more personal way, hearing some of his childhood story, and learning about what led to him becoming President of Focus on the Family. Jim has encouragement for everyone listening, and if you’ve ever felt nudged to get involved with Foster-care…this conversation might be just what you need to take the next step of faith in that direction! Find show notes and listen at:  http://www.monicaswanson.com/jim-daly  General podcast page: http://www.monicaswanson.com/podcast  Looking for a Bible-based math or science homeschool curriculum?
