We found Connected Families early in our parenting journey, and it changed the trajectory of our marriage and family. The Connected Families Framework gave us unity around a practical set of Biblical principles for parenting our kids with grace and connection. We love how the Framework is infused with Scripture and truth about how God as our Father relates to us.

We are missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators. As we’ve served in Southeast Asia, Connected Families has given our family a solid foundation for handling numerous international moves. Our whole family has grown closer together and closer to God as we have learned to face transition and grief as well as ADHD, anxiety, and sensory challenges.

We have three amazing kids (ages 7 to 11). Naomi uses her degrees in social work and education as she homeschools, and Brendon uses his degrees in linguistics as he works with Bible translation and trains new Bible translators.

The two of us are so grateful for the opportunity to work together as parent coaches. We love coming alongside other parents to help them gain confidence in navigating each new stage of parenting with purpose and joy.

Please note: We are currently only providing coaching to missionaries and international workers. Please don’t hesitate to contact us!
