Laughter Really Is the Best Medicine

Could you use a positive perspective today? Despite your troubles?

We’re listening to Phil Callaway on our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Laughter Really Is the Best Medicine.”

Phil, once called “the funniest Canadian alive,” is an award-winning author, speaker, and daddy of three, who makes it a habit to be joyful even though his life isn’t perfect. In his recorded message, Phil shares four secrets to life that he says are absolutely essential to living life with joy in turbulent, unpredictable times:

The world is full of cacti, but we don’t have to sit on one.
Don’t jump from the train when you’re in a tunnel.
Live so the preacher won’t have to lie at your funeral.
Courage is fear that has said its prayers.

Want to know what all that means? Tune in to our program on your local radio station, online, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or on our free phone app.

I really appreciate how Phil communicates scriptural truth through stories and a unique sense of humor. That’s a great combination when you’re going through a tough time.

Phil’s book, Laugh Like a Kid Again: Live Without Regret and Leave Footsteps Worth Following is a collection of heartwarming short stories that will encourage you with God’s truth. It’s available from Focus on the Family for a gift of any amount. For more information, visit our website.
