“Parents are meant to be the primary discipler of their children.”

He encourages us with personal experiences and strategies, focusing on milestones, mentoring, and moments to guide children from birth to adulthood. Learn practical steps to integrate faith into everyday life, and be empowered to foster a loving relationship with God and navigate modern challenges such as technology and identity with biblical wisdom.
