You Can Strengthen Your Family
We are here to help.
Imagine a home where everyone feels deeply loved, valued, and secure.
A place where differences are not just tolerated, but celebrated, bringing you closer together as a family.
Where you provide the support, encouragement, and practical guidance needed to help each person live out their God-given calling with confidence and purpose.
At StrongFamilies, we empower families to create this kind of home through our unique blend of faith-based coaching, discipleship, and practical tools – helping every family member feel loved, understood, and securely connected.
You don’t have to face challenges alone—let us help you find clarity, connection, and renewed hope.

We are a father-daughter team dedicated to helping families grow closer, stronger, and more resilient through faith and practical tools.
No family is perfect. Including ours. You can learn more by watching the video. But just know that as a multigenerational family ministry we’ve walked through challenges ourselves.

We’ve designed StrongFamilies to be a place where you can find the support, connection, and resources you need to help your family, faith, and relationships thrive. No matter where things are today

Our Core Programs
Transforming Families Through Proven Principles and Practical Tools
The Blessing
Our foundational program, ‘The Blessing,’ centers around attachment, love, and faith. We help ensure that every child, in every home, knows that someone is absolutely crazy about them. This powerful concept builds a foundation of unconditional love and acceptance, creating a secure environment for children to grow in faith and confidence.
Animal Personality Strengths
Using our unique ‘Animal Personality Strengths’ framework—Lion, Otter, Golden Retriever, and Beaver—we help families understand their God-given strengths and how to blend their differences to create deeper, more harmonious relationships. Discover how to communicate better, resolve conflicts, and celebrate each other’s unique qualities in a way that honors God and strengthens your family bonds.
LifeMapping
Our trademarked ‘LifeMapping’ process answers the critical question: “Where do I go from here?” This personalized journey helps you gain a clear picture of where you’ve been, where you are today, and what’s keeping you stuck. With LifeMapping, we provide a step-by-step plan to help you move forward with clarity, purpose, and faith.
