YOUR MEMBERS-ONLY RESOURCES

It’s May, and we’ve got lots of goodies for you this month on Care for the Soul. Dividing it into three sections, we focused on physical, emotional, and spiritual.

You’ve shared with us how your parents struggle with time management resulting in physical exhaustion. So we took a unique approach and introduced a simple concept of managing time into the parent videos.

We also give your parents a creative approach to understanding emotionally healthy discussions with conversation prompts. Last, we offer a Spiritual Identity piece called Child of the King in a poster format through our partner resource.

There’s lots more, but we’ll let your finger do the work. Keep on scrolling. Thank you for the privilege of partnering with you.

TOOLBOX

WHAT IS IT?

Say This, Not That is a quick, non-threatening, and simple guide to inspire parents to have emotionally healthy discussions around difficult subjects they face as adults. Sometimes all parents need is a small prompt in the right direction to get the conversation going.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Print and give as a handout.

Add it to your church website.

Email directly to parents.

Use the word document and create your design.

Put it into presentation software, such as PowerPoint, and scroll before a parent meeting.

PARENTING VIDEO

Time Management: 3 Ways to Teach Your Child About Managing Time

Some people may think that children are too young to learn how to manage time, but what if we started introducing the concept through practical and concrete ways, such as school and playtime. In this video, you can give parents three ways to use a child’s everyday world to introduce “time management concepts.”

COACHING

This year, we’ve heard from many of you about the struggle to cast a vision about family ministry. It’s one thing to talk to your leadership staff. It’s another to describe it to families. In this month’s coaching video, Jeremy gives you some encouragement on how to implement this vision to the parents in your church and community.

PARTNER RESOURCE

This month, your upcoming partner resource is Dr. Ed Laymance, a licensed professional counselor, a licensed marriage and family therapist, and a board-certified professional Christian counselor with over more than 40 years of ministry, education, and counseling experience.

You’ll receive his CHILD OF THE KING proclamation of our spiritual identity in a poster format of 8×10 or 18×24. You can email these to families or print and hang them in your church…or print one for your office as a reminder. 🙂
