Parenting Class

"Behold, children are a heritage of YHWH.
The fruit of the womb is his reward."
Psalms 127:3

Shepherding a Child’s Heart is about how to speak to the heart of your child. The things your child does and says flow from the heart. Luke 6:45 puts it this way: “…out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.”
