Becoming the Godly Parent You Never Had
You can love your children and still hear your parents coming out of your mouth. Wanting to do better is not the same as knowing how. For churches, parenting groups, and women's gatherings, Sage offers a Christ-centered conversation about recognizing inherited patterns, taking responsibility for your responses, and choosing what your children will learn from you. The focus is practical: notice one pattern, name what needs to change, and take one deliberate step toward parenting differently.
