In this special “virtual family time” episode about the Connected Families Framework, you’ll hear Jim and Lynne Jackson join Stacy Bellward (host) for a fun conversation about the incredible growth and impact of Connected Families over the past 20+ years. Using the biblical parable of the talents as their start, Connected Families founders share how they’ve stewarded the ministry’s explosive growth, particularly in the last five years, and cast a vision for the future of grace-filled, Christ-centered parenting resources. Listen in and be a part of our family!
