The holidays are over--and for some of us, we're wondering what happened. We had great expectations!  Family time was going to be special.  Relationships were going to be close.  And some of the time was special, but--if we're honest--we're moving into 2019 wondering if there's something missing in our relationships with our children.

In this episode, Janet and Doug share quotes from three great books--that offer a BRAVE LOVE perspective for parenting in the new year.

And this episode offers these three steps to take with yourself--and your family--in 2019:

• Start with yourself.  Trust who God says you are.  Our children need to see us trusting someone bigger than ourselves.
• Build a relationship of trust with your children.  Talk about identity and integrity.  Put away the tools of control and manipulation.
• Together--there is great hope.  Join a community that is talking about identity and integrity, too.  We are created to do the hard work of parenting in community.

Join us on this episode--and subscribe.  There is great hope.
