Against the Tide

Raising kids today is a spiritual battle.

Against the Tide

 This battle is between our culture and the Scripture.

Against the Tide

So many parents feel that if they don’t happen to trust their kids in every area of life all of the time then they must be the worst parents on the planet and raising the worst kids on the planet. First, too many of us use the term trust in a general way. Of course, generally speaking, we all trust our kids, but when it comes to certain things we might be wise not to trust them. And that doesn’t make you or your kids part of the Manson Family for thinking this way. It makes you prudent.

To tell our kids we trust them with a particular thing or situation when we really don’t is a lie. And nothing breaches trust more than lying. And trust me. Our kids know when they are being lied to about being trusted. Remember- truth breeds trust.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
