counselors who frequently support those in church and ministry roles. These specialists can provide an understanding ear, a word of advice, a timely referral, or a simple prayer.

Our counseling support is just one of the many resources we offer on The Focused Pastor. Get started today by visiting TheFocusedPastor.org.

Show Me the Father Opens Sept. 10 in Theaters

Focus on the Family CEO Jim Daly’s personal journey from orphan to head of an international Christian organization dedicated to helping families thrive is a powerful story. Abandoned by his alcoholic father at age 5, he lost his mother to cancer four years later – a wound deepened when his grieving stepfather emptied the family home and left Daly, the youngest of five children, and his siblings to fend for themselves after their mother’s funeral.

Several tough years followed, including time in foster care, before Daly became a Christian in high school and found meaning, purpose and a sense of belonging.

Learn more about Daly’s life story in Show Me the Father, a film opening in theaters on Sept. 10. The film is the first documentary from the the Kendrick brothers, creators of War Room, Overcomer, Fireproof and Courgeous.
