FamilyLife Blended® with Ron Deal provides timeless wisdom and practical help and hope for blended families and those who love them. Ron L. Deal, LMFT, LPC invites Jennifer Maggio LIVE on the podcast to discuss From Shame to Strength: A Single Mom’s Journey to Healing and Hope.

“I had convinced myself that no good, Christian man would ever want me. With my readymade family and all the baggage of my past and the complications of my relationship with the children’s father, what good Christian man would actually want to deal with all of that? Satan was a master manipulator who did a good job convincing me that I was not worthy of moving into a healthy marriage.”
