Raising Kids with a Biblical Worldview
In a world full of competing messages, how do we raise children who stand firm in God’s truth? This class challenges and equips parents to establish a biblical worldview in their homes—training kids to interpret reality through Scripture rather than culture. Michael Burns will provide practical tools and insights to help families thrive spiritually, boldly resisting cultural compromise and parenting according to God’s design.
Building the Right Identity
Our children are not defined by achievements, peer approval, or cultural trends—they are image bearers of Christ. In this session, Jeanie Shaw will explore how parents can first be grounded in their own identity in Christ, then intentionally speak God’s truth over their children’s lives. Learn practical ways to help your child grow in confidence, purpose, and faith.
Partnering with Your Spouse
No marriage is perfect—but even in seasons of tension or disagreement, you can still grow as a parenting team. In this session, Judy Mosley and Tami Ryter will share practical, biblical wisdom to help wives support their husbands while navigating the ups and downs of marriage. You’ll be encouraged to pursue unity, deepen respect, and find God’s strength to parent well together—even when it’s hard.
Embracing Biblical Fatherhood
Fatherhood today can feel overwhelming—but you’re not in it alone. In this session, Clint Mosley and Dave Ryter will help equip dads to lead with intentionality and faith. You’ll gain practical tools and biblical encouragement for parenting through challenges, loving your kids through their struggles, inviting your wife to help you be a more effective father, and becoming a reflection of God’s steady presence in their lives.
Rebuilding in the Wilderness
Parenting alone comes with unique challenges, but God never calls us to walk this road alone. In this session, single parents will find strength, encouragement, and practical tools to thrive—not just survive—in their parenting journey. We’ll explore how to lead our children spiritually, establish healthy rhythms, build a strong support network, and hold onto hope through the ups and downs. Whether you’re newly navigating this path or have been walking it for years, you’ll leave feeling more equipped and connected.
Leaving a Legacy of Faith
Grandparents play a vital role in the spiritual formation of the next generation. In this inspiring class, Jeanie Shaw will help you embrace your calling to pass down a legacy of faith, wisdom, and love. Learn how to move beyond simply “spoiling the grandkids” to becoming a spiritual anchor in their lives. Whether you’re a hands-on grandparent or connecting from afar, this class will equip you to thrive in your role with purpose, presence, and prayer.
Parenting for Exceptional Kids
Every child is a gift, and some come with exceptional needs that call for extra wisdom, patience, and faith. In this class, Marty and Erin Chavez will share biblical principles, personal stories, and hard-earned insights from their own journey. Whether you’re navigating learning disabilities, autism, emotional struggles, or physical challenges, you’ll leave with renewed hope, practical guidance, and a deeper understanding of God’s heart for you and your child.
Preparing Your Kids for College
Preparing your child for life after high school is about much more than academics and applications. In this session, Jacob and Jenelle Barlow will help parents think intentionally about shaping spiritual foundations, emotional readiness, and practical life skills. Learn how to guide your teen through transition, keep communication strong, and help them thrive spiritually in a culture that often challenges their faith.
When Children Wander
Few heartaches cut deeper than watching your child drift from faith. In this deeply personal and hope-filled session, Mike and Margaret Isenburg offer encouragement, biblical perspective, and practical wisdom to help you stay grounded in God’s promises. Learn how to keep your heart soft, your prayers steady, and your love unwavering—even in the waiting. You’re not alone, and their story isn’t over.
Equip to Thrive in the Wilderness
Life’s hardest seasons—like loss, divorce, or major transitions—can feel like a wilderness: dry, uncertain, and lonely. This class explores how God’s presence sustains us through these difficult times and how we can grow in faith and hope even when answers are unclear. Learn practical ways to lean into God’s provision, find community, and discover purpose amid life’s challenges. Whether you’re in the midst of a wilderness season or supporting someone who is, this class will help you thrive through it with God’s strength.
Begin with the End in Mind
In a world full of distractions and shifting values, raising faithful children doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by intention. This class is designed to inspire and equip parents to build a spiritual foundation at home that nurtures strong faith, character, and purpose in their children.  Dave & Tami will encourage you to reflect on your own walk with God, cast a vision for who you want your children to become, and take practical steps to create a Christ-centered home. You’ll learn how to start virtue training early, cultivate spiritual habits as a family, and lead with purpose—keeping eternity in mind as you parent day by day.
Attitudes and the Heart
When eye rolls, resistance, or negativity surface, it can be easy to react instead of respond. In this session, we’ll explore how to address attitudes in a way that shepherds the heart, not just manages behavior. Together, we’ll dive into Scripture, gain practical tools, and learn how to model the same patience and faith God shows us. Whether you’re dealing with toddlers or teens, you’ll leave encouraged and equipped to parent with purpose.
Equip to Thrive in a Digital Age
Screens are everywhere—and with them come endless challenges and opportunities. This class will help parents navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape with discernment and faith. Learn how to guide your children in setting healthy boundaries, cultivating real connection, and developing a Christ-centered identity in a tech-saturated culture. Whether your kids are toddlers or teens, this session will equip you with practical tools and biblical perspective for parenting in the digital age.
Sexual Integrity: Creating Safe Conversations
Our children are growing up in a world filled with confusing and often conflicting messages about sex, gender, identity, and body image. As parents, God calls us to be the first and safest place our children turn to with their questions and struggles. In this class, we will learn how to create a safe, grace-filled environment where difficult topics—such as sexuality, gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, and body image—can be discussed openly and biblically. Together, we will explore how to respond with both truth and compassion, equipping us—and the wider church family—to guide our children toward God’s design while keeping their hearts connected to Christ and His community.
