WHAT current harbor parents have said about the WORKSHOP...

  • "I watched the workshop that launched this site and wow! Thank you so much. I identified with the parents and realized it’s okay to not agree with everything my son shares, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a loving relationship. It also affirmed what God has been teaching me in my quiet time—love people. Just love people. My job is to love like Jesus."

 

  • "My husband and I enjoyed this workshop so much! We had many takeaways such as how important it is to choose love and extend grace, and how our daughter is not in our family by accident (YAY!) and that we can show her the love of Christ daily by continuing to give her a safe place. We feel like many of the themes mentioned tonight are such valuable life lessons on how to be more Christlike and gracious with others on their life journey too! We especially loved when B.T.’s mom encouraged us to lean into Christ and to continue to seek him in the midst of this so that we can be refined in the process! Such incredible wisdom and an important reminder that God has a plan for us (parents) too. Thanks so much, B.T.!"

 

  • "Thank you so much! I just listened to the workshop last week. I was so busy with holiday stuff and ongoing care of aging parents, and I wanted an uninterrupted block of time to listen to the whole thing at once. I absolutely loved it and am so happy to have the summaries, as there was so much helpful content. I will study them and share them with my husband. I have to say my favorite segment was the one with B.T.’s mom. She's adorable and it was as if she was reading my heart! Please thank her for me!"
