Inviting All Parents to “Raising Sturdy Kids”
As part of the ThinkWell Conference, we will be holding a special event open to ANY parents (not only ThinkWell parents) featuring Keith McCurdy, who will give a talk entitled “Raising Sturdy Kids.” The session will focus on answering the question, “How can we raise sturdier children who are prepared to live well—informed by biblical truth—in the midst of a broken world?”
Want to read more about Keith’s message? See this earlier post.
We cannot recommend this session highly enough to parents of kids of ANY ages as well as to ministry leaders/teachers who work with kids and/or youth. This type of talk is part of what Keith does for a living, and from everyone we’ve talked to, his message is inspiring, challenging, and truly needed.
Here’s what two ThinkWell parents have to say about Keith and why you should make the time to come hear him speak—and invite parents you know to come as well:
“After Keith McCurdy spoke to students at our daughter’s school, she came home and declared, ‘You guys don’t give me enough responsibility.’ That got our attention! As a result, we attended the evening parents’ session and were so thankful we did. Keith’s message is one of wisdom, inspiration, and hope. It is possible to strengthen a family unit, and Keith points the way forward with humor and sincerity. We highly encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to hear Keith speak.” (Scott & Kathy G.)
“Keith speaks plainly about the realities young people are facing today and offers straight-forward counsel to both parents and children. His call-it-like-you-see-it approach is refreshing. Whether your child is 4 or 24, you will benefit and be challenged by his decades of experience working with young people.” (Stuart H.)
