Brave Parenting
We are a network of brave parents who empower & equip others to intentionally develop & train children to have strong character & integrity. We believe brave parenting is doing the right thing even when it is hard. While it seems our children would rather be raised by the internet, the truth is they need strong and courageous parents who will invest in their character.

Statement of Faith
We believe in the sovereign grace of God, who has predestined His people for salvation through Jesus Christ. We affirm the authority of Scripture alone as the infallible rule of faith and practice. Justification is by faith alone in Christ alone, and we strive to live for God’s glory in all things, continually seeking His sanctifying work in our lives through the Holy Spirit.
Additionally, we affirm the following doctrinal statements:
Baptist Faith and Message 2000

Chicago Statement of Inerrancy
Dallas Statement on Social Justice & the Gospel
