The Pursuit of Excellence
Excellence is woven into every successful individual, business, and team. Yet, the temptation is strong to settle for mediocrity or fall prey to perfectionism rather than pursue excellence. With eleven years of experience as an NFL center, Super Bowl champion, and Pro-Bowler, Jeff Hartings (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Hartings) has experienced and observed the pursuit of excellence and its pitfalls. He draws on this experience to share with parents what he feels is the meaning of, the measure, and the motivation for pursuing excellence. He also encourages parents to maintain a healthy balance as they encourage their children to pursue excellence.

It Takes a Village
A child's holistic development includes physical, mental, emotional growth and spiritual growth. A loving, safe community of faith is vital to a child's spiritual development and can offer tremendous support to moms and dads on their parenting journey. Central Ohio-based pastor Zac Hess (https://gracepolaris.org/about/staff) offers parents words of encouragement, challenging questions to consider, and insights from his own experience as a father to four in this conversation about the role of the local church in the lives of parents and children.
