Raising responsible kids who are self-motivated and hard workers can be difficult when all they want to do is sit in front of a TV or play videogames. So how do you raise a teen to be responsible and make good decisions? Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach, author of the book Why I Didn’t Rebel, interviewed dozens of young people and, together with psychology research, found some common themes among families with kids who didn’t rebel, and families with kids who did. This 3-day action plan will give you the run-down on raising responsible teens. To find out more or purchase the book, visit http://amzn.to/2wipiOj

Have you felt cut back recently?  Pruned?  Pieces of you taken away? These audio-guided meditations will help you understand why God often seems to prune us back even in the cold winter days of our life.  And remember that His pruning will soon result in you bearing more fruit, and even richer and finer fruit, soon and for His glory.

Are you afraid of snakes or spiders? Or emotional triggers like rejection or love? God designed fear to keep you from harm. A brain neuron called the amygdala sends signals to “be alert!” The theme of these guided audio meditations is conquering unhealthy fear. The first meditation explores overcoming past worries. The following reflection faces fears of the unknown. The third meditation addresses fears of evil.
