Next week we are going somewhere most parents avoid. And I mean really avoid. Not because they don't care but because nobody ever showed them how. We're talking about the conversations that feel too big, too scary, too complicated to start. Death. Divorce. Addiction in the family. Racism. Sex. God. The topics that sit in the back of your throat every time you look at your child and think I need to talk to them about this. But where do I even start? Next week's free series is called 🔥 HOW TO HAVE HARD CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR CHILD And we are going all the way in. No vague advice. No "just be honest with them." Real language. Real frameworks. Real examples of how to open doors that most families keep locked until something goes wrong. Because here's what I know Your child is going to encounter every single one of these topics whether you prepare them or not. The question is will they encounter it first from you? Or from the world? This series starts Monday. It's free. It's for every parent in this community. And it might be the most important thing we do together all month. 💬 Which topic are you MOST nervous to talk to your child about? Drop it below let's start the conversation before the series even begins.

Let's pray. Father I need you to show up for the parent who is watching their child self destruct and feels completely powerless to stop it. The one whose teenager is in the streets. The one whose child is cutting. The one whose baby is addicted. The one whose kid has walked away from God and every value they were raised with. The one who got a phone call that changed everything. God this parent is not sleeping. They are not eating right. They are carrying a grief that doesn't have a name because their child is still alive but something is dying and they don't know how to pray anymore. I rebuke the spirit of hopelessness that has whispered "it's too late." I rebuke the assignment of destruction over this child's life. I rebuke every demonic influence every wrong friend, every wrong voice, every principality that has been given access to this young person's mind and heart. I bind the spirit of death. I bind addiction. I bind self destruction. I bind the lying spirit that has told this child they are worthless, they are too far gone, that nobody cares. I cast it all down in the name of Jesus. And Father I release a divine interruption into this child's life. Something they cannot explain. Something that stops them in their tracks. A moment of clarity that cuts through everything the enemy has built. And for the parent I release peace that is not dependent on what they can see. Hold them God. Hold them while they wait. Give them faith for what looks impossible. You are still God. This child is still Yours. In Jesus name. Amen. 🙏🏽

Father God I come to you on behalf of every parent in this community who woke up today already exhausted. The ones who didn't sleep because their mind wouldn't stop. The ones who are holding a household together with nothing left in them. The ones who are parenting through pain they never dealt with, showing up for children while they themselves are bleeding. God I am asking you to meet them right now. Not when they get it together. Not when the house is clean and the kids are behaving. RIGHT NOW. In the middle of the mess. I rebuke the spirit of overwhelm that has made this parent feel like they are drowning with no way out. I rebuke the lie that says you are not enough. I rebuke the exhaustion that has been used as a weapon to make them quit. I bind the spirit of burnout in the name of Jesus. And I release supernatural rest. Not just physical sleep but the kind of rest that only comes from You. The peace that passes understanding. The kind that holds a person together when everything around them is falling apart. Restore their joy. Restore their vision. Remind them why they started. They are not behind. They are not failing. They are exactly where You need them to be dependent on You. In Jesus name. Amen.

Father, Today we repent. Not just for what we’ve done but for what we failed to do. You called us to lead our children. To train them. To guide them in the way they should go. And Lord, forgive us for the times we withheld the correction they needed because we were tired, overwhelmed, passive, distracted, or afraid of upsetting them. Forgive us for calling it “gentle parenting” when sometimes it was avoidance.Forgive us for allowing attitudes, disrespect, lying, manipulation, laziness, entitlement, and disobedience to grow unchecked. Because every time we ignored what should have been corrected…we robbed our children of the training You assigned us to give them. Forgive us for shrinking back from leadership. Forgive us for wanting peace more than order.Forgive us for choosing convenience over consistency.Forgive us for disciplining emotionally one day and ignoring behavior the next. You never called us to just keep our children comfortable. You called us to prepare them. So today, strengthen us as parents. Give us wisdom to correct with love and firmness.Teach us how to discipline without anger but also without passivity. Remove guilt that keeps us from enforcing boundaries.Remove fear that keeps us from saying no.Remove laziness in us where we have stopped training our children intentionally. Father, help us understand that correction is not rejection. Discipline is discipleship. And we do not want to fail our assignment by refusing to lead. Teach us how to coach our children toward maturity, responsibility, honor, and self-control. Let our homes not be led by emotion, chaos, or entitlement. Restore order.Restore structure.Restore intentional parenting. And where we’ve gotten it wrong give us grace to reset. We will not parent perfectly.But we will parent intentionally. Because our children deserve guidance, not neglect disguised as freedom. And we declare that from this day forward, we will lead our children with wisdom, consistency, truth, and love. In Jesus’ name,Amen.

Okay but can we just be people for a second? 😂 Like outside of routines and consequences and generational cycles.... who ARE you? Because I am Ashley. And outside of this ministry I am a whole person with a whole personality and I think it's time y'all knew that. 😂🧡 I love bird watching. Yes for real. Don't judge me. I also love Netflix, I am extremely loud, and I am actively working on my inside voice. It is a process. 😂 Oh and I just lost 65 pounds so team big back has officially been disbanded. Now your turn. Lets be friends. I genuinely want to know who is on the other side of this screen. 🧡
