Raising Daughters to be Ready for Life

If your daughter had a very good education, by the time your daughter is 26 years old, she knows how to factor a trinomial. She knows how Freudian psychology differs from Skinner’s. She knows who Rome fought in the Punic Wars. She knows that Plato asserts ideal forms as an absolute and eternal reality of which the phenomena of the world are a transitory reflection. She knows how to parse just about any Latin verb. But she won’t have a clue… how to manage a staff of seven in a home… how to handle a budget of $100,000 a year…without running the household into the ground…
She doesn’t have a clue how to cook a meal, how to hire a contractor, how to raise children, how to change diapers, how to calm a baby, how to nurture a two year old, how to exercise authority, how to create a budget, how to cut food costs by 40% without increasing time for shopping, how to train a 5 year old in social skills. She doesn’t know the best way to maintain vehicles, she doesn’t know how to assess value in products and services, and she doesn’t know how to decorate a house. She doesn’t know how to engage in hospitality, with skill, wisdom, and grace. She doesn’t know how to do 98% of life.

In one of our favorite interviews of all time, Susan Bradrick shares how (by God's grace), she and her husband Mike raised nine children, prepared for life - competent, relevant, engaged, prepared for life, with vision and purpose. This program will challenge the paradigms!
