Loving (and Liking) My Kids for a Lifetime

Keeping “like” alive is what an enduring connection is all about! This week, Connected Families Co-Founders Jim and Lynne Jackson share more about the importance and benefits of lasting connection over time and why it’s the cornerstone of lasting family relationships. Hear from a long-time friend and Connected Families board member on how the framework has impacted his relationships over time, like a compass redirecting him back to loving his kids well and what’s most important when life gets off center. Learn how connection becomes the pathway toward true discipleship and godly influence.

Key Takeaways:
  • Staying light even in hard times can transform your love into enduring like
  • Discover how parents turning their hearts to their children influences generations
  • How connection grew from an idea to taking root in Dave Scouler’s family over time
  • Connection is the springboard into authentic discipleship
