Today Jared and Kim sit down with John and Lindy Thomas, who both have middle schoolers and high school age kids. Join for a conversation about how to make the most of the teenage years and how these are the moments that prepare a child well to launch into the world.

Project: Launch continues! Today we begin a series of conversations with parents of the 3 main age groups, elementary, middle and high school. First up, elementary kids with Chaz and Heatherly De Naranjo. Launching a young adult well into the world begins with a solid foundation laid in the elementary years. Enjoy this practical and inspirational conversation.

Camps not only create lifelong memories, they established friendship and mentoring relationships that build a spiritual foundation during adolescence. Hear the hearts of our youth and kids team as we prepare for the greatest summer ever.

The day your child leaves home is closer than you think — and the skills they'll need to thrive won't build themselves. Learn how to develop the hard and soft skills your kid needs to launch well, and gain a practical plan to build them right now!
