We can all at times relate to the fun, but potentially awkward conversations that occur as we gather with distant relatives and friends during the holidays. You're trying to wrangle your kids while asking questions about your cousin's year and follow-up with aunt Betty's latest adventure...it can be a lot! And if we are honest, the overwhelm can cause us to just not try and disengage. Join us in conversation that we hope inspires you to connect, engage and have fun with family and friends with table topics that all can enjoy!

If you are a parent or not, we all have some wisdom to gain in this conversation. Parenting can be one of the most humbling experiences and even apart from parenting yourself, we all were parented by someone. You may describe your parenting or experience of being parented as joyful, hard, painful or all of the above. Join us and our friend, Julie Sexten, as we talk about mindfulness in parenting and how we can pursue God as our perfect parent.
