Education for Kids

Families are like little churches. They are meant to be places of discipleship, worship, and rest— places where we can fine-tune the gifts God's given us so we can bless the world. They can be full of surprises and joy. But family life can also be heartbreaking and downright discouraging. Trained counselor and mother Melissa Hannigan knows how hard it is to cast and keep a vision of rich family life. How do we cultivate a family culture that's vibrant and encouraging—a refuge amidst life's storms?
Listen in as Melissa also shares how the importance of this investment has hit home after losing her teen son less than a year ago.
