Consistency and purpose are at the heart of a confident parent.

So, what do you say to the parents in your congregation that are not feeling confident at all? Parents who are humbled by the task of raising kids to become responsible adults. Parents who are:

• Burdened by their own unhealthy family background
• Struggling with inconsistency
• Sidetracked by trying to be their kids' best friend

We say, "Join us" on CCN when Jim Burns returns to present a hope-filled, practical, and encouraging path to Confident Parenting.

Pairing over 20 years of counseling with his own years of parenting, Jim's wisdom is grounded in reality.

Jim says that it's essential for parents to get on the same page, seek support, and depend on God.

Based on his newest book by the same name, Dr. Burns offers some very specific ways that parents can grow in confidence while building security, love and responsibility in their homes:

• Finding replenishment for overcrowded lives.
• Overcoming negative family patterns.
• Creating a grace-filled home.
• Communicating with affection, warmth and encouragement.
• Raising kids who love God.

Jim puts it best, "This job called parenting is anything but easy. But there is no higher calling on earth... let’s together become more confident parents."
