"I sing the praises of your seminar to everyone.God totally answered my prayer.It was 5 years of hard trials and not knowing what to do with our family and why certain members acted the way they did.God painted a clear picture through your conference.It has been 8 months since the seminar and God has changed us so much.My family is awesome. The children are different because of it and so are we...We certainly were a blender family and now we are in the crock-pot.I love it!!!You have a gift with families.Please keep it up.My God continue to bless you."

I just wanted to thank you for your awesome seminar. My fiancé and I will be married August 2008. He has never been married and I am divorced with two daughters 6 and 4. Not only does he have to learn how to be a husband, he has to learn how to be a dad as well.
Before we attended the Building a Successful Stepfamily conference Jared and I had an idea of the best way to "blend" him into our family. We came to the seminar with a time table of how quickly our family should become a family. Your seminar has taken the pressure, stress, and anxiety off of us and really allowed us to enjoy the family that God has given us.
There are no words to express the gratitude my fiancé and I have for you and your ministry...Thank you for everything!
