We all regret our past mistakes, but do you know what is worse?

Your Past

Allowing them to affect the future of your child.

Your Past

In a day when kids need supervision and boundaries most, why would so many parents give their kids such long leashes? Among a myriad of other reasons, the guilt of their own past is one of the biggest reasons. Many parents today are products and by-products of the cultural and sexual revolution of the 1960s.

Since that time sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll were virtually synonymous with the teen years. Consequently, parents who have since committed, or recommitted, their lives to Christ are having a tough time implementing and enforcing boundaries on their kids for fear of being hypocritical. Get over it! You can’t undo the past. Don’t let your past ruin your child’s future.

“The License to Parent broadcast teaches timeless biblical principles and provides real answers to parenting.” - Dr. David Barton, Wallbuilders
"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
