This Day Has Great Potential: The Family Toolbox Giveaway

What is Discipleship? I believe it is the MOST IMPORTANT task that parents have in the raising of their children. We have been "training up our children in the way that they should go" for over 20 years now and we hold fast to the promise that doing so will insure that "even when they are old they will not depart from it." It is great to have an arsenal of parenting tools that help us teach, train, and disciple our children. I am blessed to serve on The Family Toolbox Blogger Team and have the opportunity to use The Family Toolbox program with my teens. I'm super-excited to be sharing it with a small group of friends at church also, as we work to be the best parents we can be and help our children understand the importance of being CHRIST-followers.

The Family Toolbox is a DVD/video-driven program that brings parents and teens together for constructive dialogue around significant issues of discipleship. Conversation is sparked by engaging video clips. Sixteen Life Success Principles are communicated through eight lessons that give parents and teens biblically-based, practical topics for discussion. The format grabs teens and gets them interacting.

The Family Toolbox has 8 lessons. Each one has a 1-2 minute scene of a family living life and experiencing common challenges in their relationships. A discussion guide prompts dialogue between parents and teens and a 10-minute teaching session for parents featuring Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN gives practical tools to use right away.

I am excited to be joining with the National Center for Biblical Parenting (NCBP) to bring you a wonderful giveaway to celebrate the release of the Family Toolbox.

The giveaway includes a $50 Amazon Gift Card + a bundle of biblical parenting resources from NCBP, including:
