How can Christian parents effectively foster hope in children whose traumatic past gives them little hope for the future? Choosing to love children not their own—whose behavior often does not foster familial love—builds trust. That fosters better communication, self-discipline, good character, and, by God’s grace, hope in the one who will never leave them or forsake them.You can hear each of the season 4 episodes earlier each week by subscribing to the Effective Compassion feed anywhere you get your podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/effective-compassion/id1492139540 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/effective-compassion/id1492139540)North Korea is one of the most secretive, closed-off countries in the world, but World Help has a network of trusted partners there with 20+ years of experience smuggling Bibles and other aid to believers.
