* Lay down what God has not asked us to carry so we can thrive in what He has.
* Embrace our significance in our children’s lives in light of God’s sovereignty.
* Trust God with the children He has entrusted to us.
* Receive God’s grace so we can reflect God’s heart to our kids.
It’s time to breathe deeper, walk lighter, and reclaim the wonder and adventure of parenting.

And yet, we are called to act on the most ethical principles of our faith... ''
