Families Matter Workshop: Workbook
This workbook will change your family relationships. It helps identify how our families of origin are affecting our relationships today. Instead of requiring hours of reading, much of the video content can be accessed via convenient QR codes for each lesson. The workbook provides activities and discussion questions to allow for deeper introspection. We gain understanding and power through first analyzing our relationships and then learn tools to change our behavior patterns during conflict. Through this, we come to know how and why difficult family members do the things they do. This knowledge equips us to change generational ways of relating to our loved ones. Embedded within the workbook are tools that direct you to make small changes to the family system. Small changes begin a domino effect of desired change. All it takes is one family member to choose healthy change in order to improve family dynamics.

Beloved from the Start
Hidden buried within her heart, repressed for 30 years, lies the secret “It.” The veneer of the perfect suburban wife and mother is shattered when Chris prays a dangerous prayer, “God, if I have been sexually abused will you show me?” Is repression real? Could a successful teacher, wife, and mother be the survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and not even be aware of it? With an honest truth and transparency, Chris shares the shattering, and then the supernatural healing of her heart. Veiled beneath the grappling for control and the drive for perfection, is the truth. “No one is trustworthy, not even God.” Behind this lack of trust is Chris’s real struggle…only perfection can erase the shame and worthlessness. Beloved from the Start is her first book. She calls it “Our Story” the story she and her Savior walked together.

Families Matter, You Matter
Too often we Christians use the promises of our faith to gloss over the dysfunction in our families of origin. If we do not take the time to understand healthy communication and underlying beliefs about family roles and relationships, we will by default operate in the same dysfunction of our childhood homes. It may come out sideways, but it will not necessarily be healthy.
Discover that you are completely normal for the family you grew up in. Learn how families operate in a system and the role you play as a family member. You will realize that the power to heal your family relationships is within you. Just one family member gaining insight and embracing healthy Godly change affects the entire family system for the better. Be equipped to love yourself, God, and your family better.
