SPEAKING TOPICS FOR PARENTING EVENTS / HOMESCHOOL CONVENTIONS / MOMS' GROUPS
THE MISSIONAL MOM: LIVING THE GOOD LIFE! Cloistered within our churches and homes, we have denied our children the adventure of missional living because we’ve kept them safe. Safety, however, is no substitute for strength. Dynamic, on the edge, radical Christian living would be so appealing to our kids, but they have to first see it in us. As mothers, we have a unique opportunity to show our kids the authenticity of the Christian life and the reality of a walk with Christ on a daily basis. Can everything we do come to rest on a point of focus that consistently calls us to connect others to Him? Don’t miss the mission!

HOW TO DATE YOUR KIDS: CREATING SPECIAL MOMENTS FOR HOLDING YOUR CHILD'S HEART No matter what the size of your family, each child needs special one-on-one time with each of his parents.
