The Parenthood Primer

A Pre-Parental Counseling Workbook for Expecting Christian Couples

Beschreibung

Wait, Pre-Parental Counseling?! Actually, it makes perfect sense! If we encourage couples to prepare for marriage through premarital counseling, why don't we prepare for parenthood in the same way? Our babies might not come with an instruction manual, but this workbook is the next best thing. It's not about childbirth or sleep training; it's about you and your spouse exploring and discussing essential spiritual principles before your baby arrives. In the pages of this workbook, you and your spouse will: Explore what it means to embrace parenting as a blessing rather than a burden Discuss how to prioritize and protect a strong marriage Work together to create a family vision and rhythms that strengthen your home Identify ways to build a trusted village of family, friends, and mentors And much more! Why is this so important? The first three years of a child's life are the most formative, yet many parents only consider these important principles after that critical time has passed. Take the time now to build a strong foundation for your family, before your precious little one arrives!

Autor

Michael and Angela have worked extensively with youth and families, serving in full-time ministry in Cincinnati and Denver from 2007 to 2022. During this time, they observed firsthand the struggles of youth and college students with shallow roots in their faith. Their work with churches that focused primarily on teenagers and college students led them to wish that guidance could start earlier. This experience inspired them to develop their pre-parental counseling workbook, driven by the question, "What if we started younger?" Michael and Angela live in Denver, where they spend most days outdoors with their children and neighbors. Michael's parents live with them because they wanted to create a multigenerational home life. They are deeply involved in their church community, leading a young parents' ministry they started, hosting vision retreats, and consulting churches on how to focus more on families. Their mission is to restore and strengthen families one household at a time. Married since 2011, Michael and Angela enjoy raising their five children in a faith-centered community of extended family and friends.
