Marriage on a Tightrope

Around the world, many missionaries are returning home early.  Some of those missionaries are returning to families where one parent has transitioned away from the church while they were away.  Now those mixed faith couples have to scramble to figure out how to tell their missionaries.

On this episode, Karin and Glen Brown explain how they handled telling their missionary son that their father had left the church while he was in Argentina.

There are a couple spots left for our online mixed faith marriage Workshop on a Tightrope.
