The ideal situation is not always reality. In America today, almost half our children are raised in a home that is either a single parent household, a blended family, or being raised by a family member that is not the biological parent. Single parenting can come with lots of challenges. But there is hope. In today's episode of the Abundant Life Family Ministry Podcast, our hosts Bill and Jen Hildebrand sit down with Pastor Phil Hopper to give spiritual encouragement for single parents who are trying to walk the path and commit their children to Jesus. Pastor Phil gives practical and godly advice for single parents who have struggled with heartache and disappointment but want to raise their kids in a Christian home and teach them how to love Jesus.
