She brought both spiritual depth and practical wisdom, and our parents walked away not only better equipped, but deeply encouraged—more connected to Christ, to their children, and to their own sense of purpose as parents.”

Mel does a great job blending her experiences from decades of professional teaching and personal parenting together through the lens of her faith in Jesus.
