Show Notes
Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.
Today’s episode features Mike and Kim Anderson. Mike and Kim jumped into blended family life back in 2001 after dating for a short time. They knew roadblocks would pop up along the journey, but they didn’t anticipate how challenging it would be. They began supporting blended family couples shortly after their wedding and have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of couples for more than two decades. Mike and Kim are trained by Ron Deal, one of the most widely read and viewed experts on blended families in the United States. Through their podcast, Blended Family Breakthrough, and their work as life coaches, they empower and equip blended families on both sides of the border.
Today’s conversation is facilitated by Len DenBraber, chief operating officer at Focus on the Family Canada.
