Have you ever had a spouse say to you, “Honey, I don’t like your tone?” We have! Often times our tone shuts down a conversation and creates a disconnect. We try and communicate with words, but the tone prevents any connection.
Today's podcast unlocks the power of our tone. All relationships are affected by it especially our kids. Tone is connected to feelings and how we speak to our kids affects our connection with them.
Do you want to change your tone? Do you desire for your kids to really hear you? Listen to this podcast for honest and open conversation about how to create helpful, life-giving communication in your home. It’s all in your tone!

Today we are talking about a common topic parents share with us a lot! We hear parents say, “My little kids always talk to me, but the older kids (pre-teens through high school) don’t! How do we get them to open up about life?"
In this podcast, we explore barriers that prevent openness. We share practical and powerful solutions to breaking down the barriers.
We say often, if you listen to them when they are five, they will talk to you when they are fifteen. Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. Wherever you are on your parenting journey, we believe this information will radically change the way you parent and change the culture of openness in your home.

The way to have the best life ever is to have interest and hunger for spiritual things! Do you want this for your kids? We do!
We hear from parents all the time how their heart’s desire is for their kids to know Jesus. 3 John 1:4 says, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” The conversation we are having today is centered on the teenage years and how to help point them to Jesus.
We unpack powerful practicals to cultivate spiritual interest in your home. Our whole goal is connect our kids to the God of the universe. It's our privilege and responsibility as parents to help them follow God in their own way.
Join us to learn how to cultivate spiritual interest in your home, your car, and in every place you do life with your kids!

This week we spent time with Larry and Madeline Jones. We traveled all the way to Arkansas just to hear their wisdom and learnings from their 5 years of marriage!
