Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys
A seminar for adults
- Nurturing Boys helps parents, educators, mentors and others understand and explore the hearts, minds and ways of boys and the vital role that parents and caregivers play on the journey to manhood.

Raising Girls
A seminar for adults
- The Raising Girls seminar journeys into the heart of girls to help adults understand their daughter’s different stages of development: what is normal, what is not, and how to relate effectively. They also speak at length on the issues at the heart of girls today. This seminar will help you learn what it means to call out the unique identity God has given the girl you love.
Modern Parents, Vintage Values
A seminar for adults
- How do I get my children to respect me? How do I encourage them to say "thank you"? How do you teach safety, in this day and time, without instilling fear? In this day and time seems to make all of the difference. Children today are up against a host of struggles and pressure than were foreign to us as we were growing up. Technology, peers, culture...all of it can appear to stand in direct opposition to the character we are trying to instill in our children.
- Modern Parents, Vintage Values is a seminar based on Melissa and Sissy's book of the same title. In the seminar, David Thomas joins them as they tackle the issues we see most predominantly affecting kids and families in today's culture: entitlement, respect, technology, fear, anxiety and depression, to name a few. They not only help us understand these issues, but help parents and grandparents instill good old vintage values in the midst of these issues...values like compassion, integrity, and gratitude. In this seminar, Melissa, Sissy and David lay a foundation that helps equip parents to bring children back to timeless truths, to vintage values and to a sense of confidence in who they can be in spite of "this day and time."
The Back Door to Your Teen's Heart
A seminar for adults
- Melissa, Sissy and David invite you to join us at the back door for a time to talk about the teenagers in our lives. We not only are excited about the back door approach, but believe it is a disarming way to connect with adolescents. We hope you will join us for a day of teaching, laughing, talking, and encouraging each other on our journey to helping our teens become who God has created them to be.
