5 New Short Films to Help Your Family
As parents, we’re guessing. A lot.
We’re not sure about this, we make hunches about that, and we constantly feel like we’re failing. Most of the time, we don’t talk about it. Even when we bring a partner or trusted friend into our struggles, our deepest questions can remain buried in insecurity.
And what about what’s actually worked? The moments we’ve really nailed it? We rarely focus on those since our parenting victories are immediately eclipsed by the next unexpected challenge.
It’s time to talk, both about our failures and our successes as parents. And we’ve made some films to help.
Through a compelling blend of real-life stories and interviews with parents, this new five-week video curriculum drops you into the latest national family research, and into the hearts of parents discussing their own struggles, successes, and ideas that have shaped lasting faith in their own families.
Season 1 includes five short films:
Why – Why talk about parenting? Because 1 in 2 kids drift from God after High School.
Mirror – What happens when I see things in my kids I don’t like?
Warm – How can I create a safe place to connect with my kids?
Spark – How do I create a flourishing connection with my kids?
Plan – What do I do next?
Join Kara Powell and a host of parents like you in a fresh, honest look at parenting strategies. Discover new ideas that work and create a personalized plan for integrating those ideas into your own family routine.
