Do you need hope as a parent?

Are you discouraged?

Do you feel like things are going bad and they're going to get worse?

Do you need someone to step in and help you be the kind of parent that you want to be

to deal with those hard issues, to turn things around?

Doug Fields is going to teach us today how to recapture your child's heart when they're

moving away from you or how to keep their heart where it needs to be.

It's today, stay with me.

Thanks for listening to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip and Grim.

Living on the Edge is an international teaching and discipleship ministry motivating Christians

to live like Christians.

We're grateful you've joined us as we pick up where we left off in our series Intentional

Parenting taught by our guest teacher, Doug Fields.

And if you've been motivated by the practices he's talked about, stick around after this

message as Chip highlights a great tool we've developed to help you remember and apply

these ideas.

As we get started, Doug's going to continue talking about what it means to be close and

accessible to our kids.

Well, let's dive in.

Presence is not about you just being around your kids because a lot of people say, well,

you know, Doug, I work at home.

That's great.
