FAQs
Why do only the parents meet? Isn’t this a course for families?
The goal is to equip parents first—so they can lead their families with intention and clarity. This space gives parents time to plan, reflect, and grow.
What if I’m a single parent?
You’re not alone. Use the reflection time to brainstorm ideas specific to your family, and lean on the group for encouragement and support.
Do I have to do ALL the units?
Not necessarily. You can go in order or choose topics based on what fits your family best. Continue on in the ones that had the most impact.
What if I can’t find a group of people to do it with?
You can still benefit from the material on your own. However, going through it with others adds encouragement, accountability, and fresh perspectives.
