Parenting Beyond Your Capacity

May 27, 2010 By: Ryan Category: Parenting

Just finished reading a book by Reggie Joiner and Carey Nieuwhof called, Parenting Beyond Your Capacity.

I would highly recommend this book to any parent no matter if you have children or teenagers.  Here is a review of the book:

When parents work in tandem with the faith community to raise their children, they increase their parenting capacity exponentially.

Most parents have so many demands on their time that they can’t be the kind of parent they desire to be. They need to know the Orange Factor: Two combined influences will make a greater impact on kids than just two influences. And it’s true. Parents who partner with the faith community are the best way to bring the next generation into the family of God-and keep them there.

If you want to order one, you can do so HERE or HERE.

EPIC Chili Cook-off

October 31, 2009 By: Ryan Category: Ministry Blogs

Tomorrow night is our FUSE Night at EPIC.  We invite all the parents to join us for dinner and then a parenting teens workshop while their students are in their regular program. 

This month’s FUSE will feature Pastors Terry and Steve teaching the Parenting Teens Workshop.  Going to be a great time for parents.

One aspect of the evening I am really excited about is our EPIC Chili Cook-off.  So far we have 14 families bringing their best chili which will be voted on by the students and their families.  The family with the most votes will receive a prize package.
