Married to Des, they have two “children”, Matthew (22) and Beth (19)
In an increasingly complicated world, which seems to be accelerating and changing all the time, the task of parenting can seem daunting. The good news is that family is the strongest influence on our young people. How can we create space for clarity and compassion as we step confidently into conversations about relationships and sex. In this seminar we will consider how we can be people who share God’s better story at each age and stage with our children, encouraging them to build strong healthy relationships.
