Robin's story begins the same as many people today. We start life with ideals and expectations, but then things start to change. Relationships are good, then values move apart, faith challenges come, and hearts begin to divide. 
What do you do when that happens? 
Robin shares how she and her family have dealt with the challenges that often make people decide to separate. They made the decision to stay together, despite the challenges. 
Perhaps her path is different from yours, but the principles that she  learned on the journey are powerful! This podcast can change the trajectory of your whole life, as it has done for her! 

We love hearing from you!

When I was 13, I thought it was too late for what I wanted. Have you ever felt that way? Ever felt like you missed the boat? -too old? -too young? -too... something? Don't give up! What actually happens might not be what you wanted, but it just might be even better than you ever thought possible!
