Y'all, this line up! What?
First of all, somebody else called me an expert so I am going with it.

I'm so excited to be joining  as a Guest Expert for their fall ministry cohort, Empowering Families for Discipleship!

If you'd like to join this dynamic group of innovative ministry leaders, you can visit faithandchildren.org/cohorts to apply by August 1. Hope to see you there! 

These cohorts are powerful and an incredible value! Plus, you'll get to hangout and learn with who is quickly becoming one of my favorite people.

If you are in children's or family ministry and wanting to grow and learn, this is the place!!

This conversation with .cfcoach of was so encouraging to me! The soul care videos, really all of the Sensitive and Intense Kids course, whisper God's love to us as parents struggling and stumbling at times to parent our kids for His glory. There is no shame, but lots and lots of hope!

I haven't been posting new podcast episodes as often as I want, but I couldn't NOT share this conversation with .cfcoach of about how the Sensitive and Intense Kids course can help us as Christian parents to love, teach, play.

Lydia shares about God's grace for us and our "squirrely" kids. Check it out, even if you aren't sure if your kids qualify as sensitive or intense.
