In Part 3 of our Parent Partnership series, we explore the final step in building strong school–home relationships: how we answer parents. Listening and processing feedback are vital, but the way we respond communicates just as much as the content itself.

Drawing from Colossians 4:6, Jared unpacks how to balance grace and truth in every response, avoid email battles by inviting personal conversations, and lead with transparency when handling both everyday concerns and urgent matters. You’ll also learn practical strategies—both informal and formal—for training your team, using parent feedback tools, and building trust through consistent follow-up.

This episode will equip school leaders to move beyond listening and discerning, into answering with wisdom, clarity, and Christ-like care.

In Part 2 of our Parent Partnership series, we explore why listening is the foundation of building trust with families. Parents are the first key group of stakeholders we partner with to raise disciples, and their voices matter. Drawing from Proverbs 1:5, we’ll discuss how wise leaders listen, focus on understanding events over emotions, and resist the urge to resolve every demand. You’ll also hear practical strategies—like moving difficult conversations away from email and into personal dialogue—that foster grace-filled, mission-driven relationships with parents.

This episode will help school leaders strengthen parent partnerships by listening well and responding with discernment.

Drawing from Proverbs 18:13 and James 1:19, he unpacks why parents are the primary partners in Christian education, why their insight matters more than we sometimes realize, and how schools can create intentional ways to hear the parent voice.

Whether it’s feedback on small details or big-picture ideas, listening well honors parents, strengthens trust, and lays the foundation for true partnership.

In this episode: As a new school year begins, how can Christian school leaders center their teams on vision that actually matters? Jared explores the difference between mission and vision, shares three practical ways to lead with clarity, and reflects on Jacob’s encounter with God in Genesis 28—where he wakes up saying, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.”

This is more than back-to-school logistics. It’s about helping your team recognize that God is already at work—and your leadership is part of His unfolding story.
