5 Questions: Soren and Ever Johnson on Creating Heavenly Homes
Alysse ElHage, Institute for Family Studies: “I once heard a priest say that marriages and families are transformed, not so much through individual effort but through sustained involvement in a supportive community of believers. And by ‘believers,’ he was not only referring to believers in the faith but more broadly to those who believe in the gifts of marriage and children and want to help others enjoy these gifts. Soren and Ever Johnson are true believers, and they are doing their part to help churches create the supportive communities that today’s families so desperately need.”
