​The Portrait of a Strong Family (Part 2)

This week we’re continuing our series on The Portrait of a Strong Family. John Maxwell discusses how strong families respond to crisis in a positive way. This episode is for the leader who wants to strengthen their family’s communication and commitment to one another.

Jason Brooks joins Mark Cole again to dive deep into John’s teaching and how to apply it to your own family life. This conversation is crucial for leaders who have mistaken their home life for an escape from leadership and responsibility. In fact, family is where leadership is needed the most and counts the most.

Our BONUS resource for this series is The Strong Family Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by clicking “Download the Bonus Resource” below.
