Boat Rock

Sometimes you’ve got to rock the boat to get through to your kids!

Boat Rock

Too many parents today have set their kids’ behavioral bars way too low. I call it don’t rock the boat parenting.

Rock the Boat Parenting

“Don’t push too hard. Don’t expect too much. Let Junior explore and by who and what he truly is.” Well, what he truly is is a sinner just like you and me. But that’s a hard word for many parents today; true as it might be.

We’re not really reading, much less studying the Bible. We all seem to know about God’s grace and mercy. Righteous and holiness, not so much.

In 2 Corinthians 10, Paul encourages us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Grace and mercy don’t require this. Righteousness and holiness do. Challenging your kids to do this now may save you heartache later.

Shepherds Hill Academy: Transforming Lives, Transforming Culture

Endorsements

"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

"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
