New and Improved Parent Hacks- Online Parenting Courses

 Dear Parents,

You are the greatest influence in the life of your teenager.

Research proves it time and again your voice is the loudest in their life. That is a great opportunity for you to make a forever impact in the life of your teenager.

It is also a great opportunity for me to partner with you and cheer you on in the process.

We have tried that in several ways over the last few years. What we have found is that parents are busy people and adding an extra event to remember or get to was not the most helpful thing we could do. We want to be bringers of hope, help and harmony.

For that reason, I am launching an online form of Parent Hacks (a resource based off of one from minstrytoparents.com) that I think will become a helpful tool for you as parents to keep in your toolbelt. 

I will post encouragement and truth to you in the form of articles, videos, maybe a podcast in the future and messages this blog. That way you can follow along as we go, or, if you want insight into a particular topic you can search or lookup articles through labels. 

Through this online class you can receive encouragement and resources in your pajamas whenever you want! I will send an email next week with the content of our first class and a reminder to subscribe to the blog's rss feed or follow it through email so you don't miss a thing. Please feel free to comment on this article and share with me any thoughts about topics you would like me to cover. Also, please always feel free to comment with your prayer requests.

It is my great honor to serve your family and to cheer you on as you lead your teenager spiritually!
I canʼt wait to get this started!

You Partner,


Eric Tomeo

Rebel and Repeat

Today I want to talk to you about being a rebel. You might not think of yourself as a rebel but you might be more of one than you think! To be a great parent today, you need to be courageous enough to visit your past. How did your parents raise you during the teenage years? What was your experience like? What did your parents teach you? What values did they pass down to you? It is so important to think back on that time even if it is painful for you. Because the pain can have a purpose. It can show you where you need to rebel. Your parents were not perfect, just like you are not a perfect parent. So there has to be some areas where you could give your teenager a better experience than you got. That is something you would Rebel against from your past. A great exercise for you to after you read this is to grab a piece of paper and make a list of the different ways you want to rebel from the way you were raised. In this case, rebellion is a very good thing. It can be one of the greatest g...

When to give them a cell phone and when to take it away. Maybe you feel like you don't even know where to start.

The Power of Symbols Part 2

In our last post we talked about the power of symbols.  I challenged you to consider how you could use symbols as a tool to help you pass down faith to your teenager. The reason I believe this is an appropriate method is that God used it. In Genesis 9:13-17 God used a rainbow as a symbol of His promise In Genesis 28:18-22 Jacob established a monument to remind himself of God’s promise to bless his descendants In Genesis 7:8-13 Aaron’s staff became a symbol to Pharaoh of God’s presence with the Israelites and His power  In Exodus 12 the Passover feast is rich with symbolism none more important than the use of the Lamb to represent coming salvation and it goes on and on…. the monument of 12 stones when the tribes of Israel crossed the Jordan river the 10 commandments given on stone tablets the ark of the covenant the Temple on an on… It’s not just in the Old Testament either.  In the New Testament we see symbols: the gifts of the Magi to Jesus in Luke 2 Jesus washing His di...
