We're continuing our season called Fight For Your Family, and today you're going to hear an incredible conversation between Lisa, Jim, and Joel, as they help us learn what both builds and destroys trust in our marriages. As you fight for your family this season, maybe you're inspired to ask a question that sounds something like this: "How do I really help the young people in my life who are struggling both mentally and emotionally?"
