About Us
Encouragement for Practical Living
If you hope for both the practical and spiritual direction for your family, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’ve grown up in the faith or found it later in life, my mission for Practical Family is to help you find what you need to build a strong foundation for your family by first securing your identity in Christ.
Living as a practical family is living out and practicing your values, and planning toward goals as you apply the principles you learn in a connected community.
We want to live intentionally instead of reactively. Here at Practical Family, we’ll always do our best to share real life examples in all honesty as we approach difficult situations. We’re not into cuteness, cliches or platitudes. We know parents need real and practical ways to move forward right now.
