Tim Tucker, on affiliate staff with the Pittsburgh FamilyLife team, discusses the topic of children with special needs in the area of autism with Scott and Catherine Mercer, part of our Pittsburgh FamilyLife team. Also in the discussion are Tom and Pam Jones. Tom is an associate pastor and licensed professional counselor, and Pam is a real estate agent in the Pittsburgh area.

My son, John, has a website called "Autism4Christ" on which he passes on his and Katie's story of raising Jack and Ellie, along with what God has taught them and continues to teach them throughout this journey, with Bible-based help for any family raising children with autism. He encourages parents to join in and share their stories as well!

FamilyLife has a lot of great ways to help marriages that are struggling, or just want their good marriages to become even better! One of the resources is this fall's FamilyLIfe "Weekend To Remember" marriage getaway here in the Pittsburgh area. The dates are November 7-9, 2025 at the Marriott North in Cranberry Township. God can use it to bring couples to a oneness with Himself and with each other!
