On today's episode, we talk through when it's okay to say "yes" to our kids. For us, we tend to say "no" or "maybe later" more often than "yes". However, we are working on this and have become better by applying four questions when faced to make a decision. By asking ourselves these four questions, we are now able to answer "yes" more often to create memories for our kids. We are confident that they will help you in your parenting too.

We call it the "cotton candy effect".Matthew 7:11James 1:17BE[different] Weekend Marriage Experience: If you are a pastor or a church leader, we would welcome the opportunity to talk with you about our weekend marriage experience.

On today's episode, we continue our series titled "It's Not What You Think". This week we talk about the impact of the local church. The church is more than just four walls and a building.
