Who’d ever forego the pleasure of marriage, deciding one’s own direction, or the security of financial gain? They do. And when they do it right, the world changes. Look deeper and see God teaching through them that pleasure is in the senses, happiness in the emotions, but joy, that’s only found in the soul. Click over to the full Family Conquest. The “To Do” activity in the Wrapping It Up section asks families to share any stories they may have about a person or movie character who was willing to put aside his own plans and found joy in serving and helping others.
(i.e. George Bailey in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, Superman, Frodo in Lord of the Rings, perhaps a priest or religious you may know, etc.)

Feed that Fire!
The FREE Family Conquest program helps parents “Feed that Fire today… before it’s too late!”
- What Fire? The love of God and of family.
- Too Late? 13 is the average age a child rejects the Faith and his family in his heart! By age 22, that decision shows itself. Today, 85% of Catholic kids leave the Faith!
- Why This Works? WATCHING together Viral YouTube videos and BONDING together through the faith Q&A’s is fun and effective. It also helps parents and kids learn God’s language of parable, so they can discern God speaking in their prayer!
DONATE HERE. Help us help families before it’s too late!
