EpicParent.tv – Honest • On the Edge • Creative Parenting

Today’s post is from my good friend Allyson Evans.  Allyson is the NextGen leader at LifeChurch.tv and is a wealth of wisdom when it comes to effective parenting and ministry to the up and coming generation.  I had the awesome opportunity of working with Allyson over the past few years and she is the real deal.  I think what I love most about Ally is her honest, raw, tell it like it is approach.

If you would like to connect with Ally, you can run her down on Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks so much for posting today Ally, it’s a true honor!

So here she is…

I was an awesome teenager! I mean, I had a ton of fun, great friends, made some mistakes and had a lot of victories. I was the friend that everyone turned to and I could make you laugh if you were down. I rocked at that. So surely, my daughters will still want to hang out with me when they hit their teenaged years because, let’s be honest, I’m still cool!  (more…)

Today’s post comes from my good friend Toni Quinton!  Can I just say that Toni is a stud!?!

Toni leads the Kids Ministry at the OKC Campus of LifeChurch.tv.  Toni is a great leader, wife, mom and friend.  She has been in ministry for many years and is what I would consider an expert when it comes to Kids Ministry and parenting.  As I read Toni’s post this week, I walked away personally challenged.

I have much work to do when it comes to discovering my kids gifts and helping them employ them for the Kingdom!

You going to love today’s post and I also encourage you to friend Toni on Facebook.

Today’s guest post is written by my good friend Joe Gumm.  Joe and I go way back in the day and have been friends since we were 5 years old!

Joe has done many remarkable things in his life…

Worked as Fox Sports SouthWest, authored 3 books, he has won an Emmy for his television show “Traveling With The Tribe” and Joe is now the Oklahoma City Fox 25 morning anchor.

Joe is also an ordained minister and was a kids pastor for several years!

But as grandiose as his professional career, Joe’s most notable achievement to date is his relationship with Jesus, being a husband and a father.

Joe truly is the real deal!
