Here’s the thing: There are no hacks for charact Here’s the thing: There are no hacks for character development. 😥🤷🏼‍♀️

Trust me, our family is a far from perfect, and character is a constant work-in-progress (for all of us.😉) We’ve made mistakes and struggled through issues. 

And we’ve learned a lot. 

Beginning when kids were young Dave and I reached out to mentors and found resources, and we learned a lot about raising kids of character. When they hit their teenage years we realized we needed more tools and new approaches. 🙏 

We’ve spent a lot of time focusing on character. And the truth is: we still make mistakes. And our kids still aren’t perfect! 😲😉

But…how they respond to challenges, mistakes, and (let’s call it what it is-) sin- may be the truest test of character. 🙌🏼♥️

This is a hard world to grow up in. Our culture is not encouraging or celebrating Godly character. Yet those who have it will 💯 live happier, healthier, more successful lives!! Guaranteed. And that motivates me to keep talking about it and keep supporting families who have that vision. ♥️

And that’s the story behind my Character Training Course! 

- I’ve put together the best resources, addressed the most challenging topics, recorded expert interviews, created helpful downloads, and packaged everything into an online course that parents can walk through in their own time, over weeks or years, as they need it. 

And it is NOW OPEN!!! this week only. 🥰

I’m praying for you!! ♥️
