This parenting thing is hard. If you listen to all the voices yelling at you, you'll walk away convinced you're doing it wrong, your kids are behind, and because of you, they're probably going to end up in therapy or jail. Here's the thing: you're not failing. We believe that God has made you for this, and we're here to help. 

When church is closed, it not only means no weekend services, it also means no classes for kids. For many parents, this is virgin territory—many of us have never had to play the leading role in talking to our kids about God. Where do I start? Should I read them stories? What if they ask me questions I don’t have the answers to? If you've felt any of this, you are not alone. YOU CAN DO THIS, and we're here to help. Today we’re going to talk about talking about Jesus with your kids.

Talking About Talking About Jesus

Graduation. Prom. The state championship. Fourth of July weekend. Senior trip. Study abroad. The spring play. Your summer job. Summer camp. The list of stuff they’ve lost goes on and on, and in many cases, we haven’t stopped to acknowledge it—to grieve the things they’ve lost. We believe that God has equipped you as a parent for moments like this, that YOU CAN DO THIS, and we're here to help. Today, we’re talking about how to help your kids recognize and process grief well.

That’s it. I can’t take it anymore. If I have to spend one more moment inside these four walls, I might just burn the whole place down. If you’ve ever felt like that, you’re not alone.

If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone. We believe that YOU CAN DO THIS, and we're here to help. Today we’re going to talk about where to go when you just can’t stay here anymore.
