Parenting Seminar with Dr. Ron & Wanda Walborn
Parenting can feel like a constant tug-of-war—between protecting our kids and letting them grow, setting boundaries and building real relationship. From Control to Connection is a practical, hope-filled seminar that invites parents, grandparents, and caregivers into a grace-filled, Spirit-led approach to parenting that moves beyond fear and control toward deeper connection. Join Ron and Wanda Walborn as they share biblical wisdom, honest stories, and real-life tools to help you parent from trust instead of anxiety, understand how your own story shapes the way you parent, set healthy boundaries without shame, and create emotional safety where kids feel truly seen, heard, and loved. Whether you’re raising toddlers, teens, or adult children, you’ll leave encouraged, challenged, and equipped to cultivate meaningful connection in your home—starting right away.
Childcare spots are limited to 60 children, serving ages 6 months through 3rd grade. Be sure to register by January 25.
Cost: $25 per person
