"Help and Hope for Families"

Pittsburgh FamilyLife Affiliate staff member, Tim Tucker, interviews Scott and Catherine Mercer, part of our Pittsburgh FamilyLife team, and Tom and Pam Jones. Tom is an associate pastor and licensed professional counselor, and Pam is a real estate agent in the Pittsburgh area. They discuss a very critical topic today on how past sexual abuse affects a marriage. As Dr. Courtney Putnam has said, "The body keeps score of sexual abuse." How does a husband or a wife help their spouse who has experienced the effects of sexual abuse? What help and hope can we find in the Bible, and why is professional Christian counseling so important? Only God can truly heal, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the ultimate Source of love, joy, peace, hope, and healing. FamilyLife has a lot of great ways to help marriages that are struggling, or just want their good marriages to become even better! One of the resources is this fall's FamilyLIfe "Weekend To Remember" marriage getaway here in the Pittsburgh area. The dates are November 13-15, 2026 at the Marriott North in Cranberry Township.

Divorce has a devastating effect on all family members involved. It destroys families and creates hardship for the husband, wife, and children. It breaks the covenant we made before God and our friends and relatives at the marriage altar. What does God have to say about divorce? Does the Bible really say that God hates divorce? If so, why? These next 4 programs revolve around a discussion of those questions with Tim Tucker, on affiliate staff with the Pittsburgh FamilyLife team, Scott and Catherine Mercer (part or our Pittsburgh FamilyLife team), and Tom (associate pastor and licensed professional counselor) and Pam Jones (Pittsburgh area real estate agent). God meant marriage to be permanent, but in our divorce-happy society where marriages are dissolved so much easier due to "no fault", we really need to get back to Biblical instruction of what God thinks, rather than what mankind thinks. Less broken marriages result in less broken children as well. God knows what works and what doesn't work in preserving a Christ-centered marriage. His ways are best for everyone!
