LIVE Parenting Q&A (+ Family Bible Study Guide Giveaway – $250 Value)
Monday, October 23, 11:00 AM CT
“Impossible” Parenting Problems…Only Jesus Can Solve: How to Cooperate with God in Your Parenting and Experience His Peace In Your Home
Do you have a parenting problem you feel lost on how to solve?…a toddler who laughs at consequences?…a teen who holds you at arm’s length?…a spouse who doesn’t support your parenting efforts? Bring your questions and join parenting veterans Kevin Swanson and Israel & Brook Wayne on October 23, 11:00 AM CST for a LIVE Q&A webcast. They’ll cover common parenting struggles such as…
- Dealing with disrespectful, disobedient, or defiant children. What to do when the kids seem to respect everyone but you, don’t respond until you shout or fight you at every opportunity.
- Honor, obedience, and your adult children: Should they obey until they turn 18…are legal adults…get married…die…or something else?
- How God changes children (and everyone else) for the better: God’s role for parents in the salvation of their children (plus, common ways parents get in God’s way).
- Law or Grace? How God corrects His children (and what you can learn from Him).
- When correction “isn’t working”…do this. What to do when your toddler laughs at spankings, your teen won’t quit sneaking out the window after dark, or when you see no change in behavior after the “millionth” correction.
- Overcoming parenting disagreements: You think he’s too harsh, he thinks you’re too permissive, and how to get back to working as a team.

Our Hosts
Daniel & Megan
Daniel and Megan Craig are passionate about home education, discipleship, and the Church. Both first-generation homeschool graduates, Daniel and Megan have a great burden to build on all their parents taught them. Married for 7 years with three children in tow, they are in the throes of learning what it means to raise a family to the glory of God. Daniel operates an accounting firm and serves as the Marketing Director for Generations Homeschool.
Brandee
Brandee and her cowboy husband enjoy serving as fourth generation ranchers on the family operation in Northeast Colorado raising beef cattle, quarter horses, chickens and bees. She is so thankful she left the world of teaching collegiate anatomy to become a full-time mama. The Lord called her to spend her days homeschooling her four cowpokes (with one of those precious boys already in heaven). She encourages others by telling them that no time invested in our children will ever be wasted. Her deepest prayer is that she will raise these men to be warriors for Christ and passionate learners. Brandee deeply loves Jesus Christ, home discipleship, patriotism, agriculture, volunteering, hard work, and speaking the truth with love and laughter. You can connect with her at BrandeeGillham.com.
