Video Testimonies about “Good Enough Parenting”…

GEP Interviews from Central Christian Church.

What is Good Enough Parenting…

Good Enough Parenting was better than good, it was Great! As a PhD in Educational Psychology, I have been to numerous training sessions on Marriage, Behavior, and Parenting, but none as practical and beneficial as GEP. GEP takes an in depth look in the before,during,and after of parenting. We laughed, cried, learned, and shared our victories as well as defeats. Everyone who attended the workshop was truly blessed by this training. It is a MUST for parents as well as grandparents!
~ Dr. William R. Scott, Gainesville, Christian Church Elder

Fantastic course; so needed in our churches and in my own parenting. Equipping saints with this course will help many families & save many souls to the glory of God!
~ Mr. CJ Wakefield, Evangelist, TN

Fantastic! I asked God why compared to all my peers did I have children so much later in life – my peers’ children are teens. Now I know – my children would have been completely exasperated by a younger me!
~ Sheree Wakefield, Women’s Ministry Leader, TN

The most comprehensive book on parenting I have read. The model is fantastic and can be applied to so much more than parenting. If applied, it would help any relationships grow.
~ Tedson (Ted) J, Campagna, Minister, NC

The workshop was absolutely wonderful! It gave me more of an awareness about myself as a person and parent.  I am excited about what is ahead in putting in practice what I learned.
