In this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Jared sits down Grace Family Church Clearwater's Associate Pastor Jeff Countryman to speak practically on how we can effectively raise our children to know and love Jesus. 

As a father of 3, now adult boys, Jeff is able to speak into what he and his wife were intentional about while raising their children in a home that loves Jesus. 

As a leader, Jeff is a humble, strong, motivated, and organized individual. His experiences have helped to shaped him into a compassionate, relational, and connected Pastor. He loves God, and he loves people with his entire heart. His priorities and passions are simple: God, Family, People, Local Church, Golf, and Working out. Now that is a GREAT list!

"When I look back, the thing that I am so proud of is raising our kids, and they love Jesus." - Jeff Countryman
