Mothers
Enough, Already
Learn to recognize the insecurities that keep moms from giving their best to their family. How to discover your unique gifts, and embrace grace in motherhood.
How to Not Lose Your Mind as a Mom
Let’s look at 5 basic things you can practice in your home to set clear expectations and give yourself a break.

For the Love of Boys
5 Traits of a Mother and Son Relationship that Lasts
Christian Mothers
Firm Foundation of Our Home
How do you prepare a foundation before a structure is built? Reviewing the process of literally prepping soil, and how that correlates to the metaphorical soil of our hearts.
Raising Good Christians
My testimony as a church kid who needed to find her own way to Jesus. Helping moms to understand their role in paving the way to Christ, how to stay out of the way, and pray.
Grow Grateful Kids
How to sew seeds of affirmation that builds confident kids who do the same.
Fighting Entitlement
5 weapons that destroy the entitlement dragon and help us to be more like Christ (based in 2 Peter 1)
In an age where moving past platitudes and band-aid solutions to our most pressing family needs, Jenn speaks to both who we are today and who we want to be tomorrow. Biblically grounded theology presented in a logical method make her presentations an entertaining, educational, and exceptional resource. Her words help guide listening hearts and minds towards embracing living fully in our Fathers world.
I was truly blessed by the Titus 2 workshop. No matter how old the kids are, I can’t expect anything to be cleaned or as clean as I would like them to be. I have learned to break it down smaller into “quadrants” and that my son is a confident young man that can put his clothes away in the drawer. Every day is a learning experience for everyone. It was a true blessing to have another mothers perspective on how to get the children more involved.
