It is only in a world as broken as ours that such a noble testimony of trust between a father and son could be so twisted and belittled

Ryan and Mary-Rose VerretHumility. That’s what current Speaker of the House Mike Johnson emphasized when he and his wife Kelly interviewed us about our marriage mentoring program, Witness to Love.
