In the thick of parenting you have no time to yourself, and dealing with fires all day long is exhausting. That’s why there are two ways to go through Basecamp. The first is self-paced - all the courses, podcasts, and other resources are available as soon as you join. Consume it whenever you want, Basecamp is always open 24/7! If time is really hard, to come by, you’d love some extra accountability, and going at it step-by-step, 30 minutes a week is all you need to create life-giving change in your family. That’s the amount of time you’ll need to go through our Daily Tips, which takes one of our courses per month and it down into four manageable chunks (you’ll get the Daily Tips via email).

The Cornerstone to our program (& life) is our love for our Father and for Jesus. It’s your relationship with God that knocks over the first domino towards building a Crazy Cool Family. So getting you & your spouse pursuing Him first, and then building a relationship between you both our first mission. It’s also easier to start off your Crazy Cool Family from the start than try to fix problems later on. We can’t wait to welcome you!

If we wrote out all the challenges we might face as parents, it would cover a huge wall. From potty training, biting, separation anxiety, bullying, grades and so much more. We have no idea what our children will face - even more so as they enter their teenage years. It’s true, a lot of the character traits & habits your children will be fairly well-ingrained by the time they hit their teens, but more than ever, learning to seek out and hear from God is essential to parenting our “kids” whether they’re 3 or 30.

Your path to a Crazy Cool Family is not a one-size-fits all, copy-this-formula-to-a-T endeavor. God has designed your family uniquely. And that’s good! As a Basecamp member you’ll be inspired to find His unique vision for your family. This is not a follow-the-Manning-blueprint but a guide + journey to seek His Will for your family. And along the way you’ll build a Crazy Cool Family that’s special in its own way! Whether you’re a family of many or parent an only-child, married for decades or parenting solo - Basecamp will help you seek God first, build relationships, and create a culture in your home.

Our book, Crazy Cool Family is an awesome place to start and you’ll have all the necessary blueprints to get moving. Basecamp gives you a more interactive place to do life together (in our private Facebook group with other parents), the opportunity to ask specific questions related to your unique situation (we respond to you personally and then scrub your personal details out before posting in Basecamp), videos, downloads. You’ll have an accountability factor too, as well as dripped content to keep you on track (especially if time is concern) - or binge all the courses at will!

Relationships are so important. And it is not something learned in a weekend or in a book.  It is learned by first engaging in instruction and then applying what you have learned. Then coming back for more and applying more.

God loves you & He has the desire + the power to overcome the lack of a second parent to create your Crazy Cool Family. What happened to get you here can be overcome by connecting relationally ith God and your children. As you connect more deeply with God, you’ll grow in wisdom, strength, courage, and hope to more deeply connect your children & yourself. And with Basecamp you’ll also be connected with other parents in community so you’ll never be parenting alone!
