Forget quicksand and shark attacks, parenthood is one of the most truly terrifying adventures you’ll ever encounter.

With help from the Essential Guide, you’ll be armed with new strategies to not only survive raising your children, but thrive as a family. Scout’s honor!

Everyone has a few moments in their life where the earth seems to stop on its axis. Those singular moments, where something happened and everything changed: the moment you said, “Yes!” to that special person, or took a step into a new career or heard your baby’s first cry. That time when you first looked up into the sky and felt small under the stars, the time you watched your parents drive off in the distance, leaving you on your own in a new place. God is close in all of our moments—the times of fear and doubt, the times of loneliness and the times of joy.

Who doesn’t love a good “before” and “after” story? Seeing real stories of transformation gives us all hope and helps us see what’s really possible. Just like any house that’s a real “fixer upper,” our relationships need restoration. The real kind starts on the inside, in the guts of the house, before the change works its way out to affect curb appeal.

That old children’s rhyme might pretend that sticks and stones are the only things that do any damage, but we know the truth. The hurtful words and actions of others can leave behind some of the deepest wounds we carry. Living with wounds of disappointment, pain and anger can take its toll if we don’t deal with them in a healthy way. Studies show that people who hold onto grudges are more likely to experience depression, PTSD and other serious health conditions. Bitterness can make us physically ill. The antidote? Forgiveness. In this series we are discovering the strength available through Jesus to help us forgive and let go of the wounds that weigh us down.
