launch

Welcome to the final step along your child's Faith Path. We've all heard the phrase "failure to launch" describing young men and women who don't make the transition into responsible adulthood. Unfortunately, many parents inadvertently keep their children from growing up due to overprotection and lack of intentionality. Whether your son or daughter is going off to college, joining the military or entering the workforce, how can you be intentional about successfully launching them into a God-honoring life? Let's start answering this question by watching this video on the importance of launching your young adult. You'll get ideas and hear from other families who have successfully navigated this step of the Faith Path. Additional downloadable
