READY TO BUILD A LIFE OF WONDER, PEACE AND ADVENTURE?
The Family Compass is our signature program designed to help you cultivate a home and life that is centered on Jesus... free from chaos and burnout... and overflowing with peace, connection and adventure.
(It is possible for you!)
CART CLOSES IN...
We know you long to have a healthy home and you deeply desire for your kids to follow hard after Jesus.
Escaping survival mode and redesigning your famliy cuulture seem like the answers, but there's a problem...
You don't know how to get from where you are to where you want to be.
You can see behind you and you know you don't want to go back to that frantic over-stuffed life that left you and your family running on empty.
You have caught a glimpse of where you want to be - a place of peace, freedom and adventure, but it still seems just out of reach.
You know that God is calling your family away from the broad path onto the narrow way of his adventure for you - that he created your family for more than just drifting through these priceless years...
But sometimes you feel trapped!
You're in the right place.
WE HAVE WALKED WITH FAMILIES JUST LIKE YOURS WHO FELT STUCK... UNTIL THEY FOUND US AND THE FAMILY COMPASS.
It's our calling to help busy Christ-following parents like you break off the path of survival mode and onto the path of God's uniquely designed adventure for your family.
Your family is too important to the Kingdom of God to stay stuck in the same cycle of every other family surrounding you. The mission God has for you is too vital to stay numb from the busyness, aimlessly wandering.
You're heart is in the right place! You truly want your home and your life to be centered around Jesus, but the clutter just keeps piling up and THAT'S NOT ALL YOUR FAULT!
The answer is to forsake the old paths and rhythms and strike out on a new path... a road less travelled.
The Family Compass takes you step-by-step on that journey from a life on the edge of falling apart to a life so full of freedom, peace and connection that it literally rewrites your family's story for generations! A story that miraculously brings the hope of Jesus to your family, your community and the world around you!
How would it feel to...
- Spend more time together doing the things your family loves most? (instead of being enslaved to life-sucking obligations)
- Experience lasting peace in your home again? (instead of being tired and on edge with each other all the time)
- Live from a deep and clear sense of God's purpose for your family? (instead of being pulled around by the flow of culture)
- Experience the life that comes when your priorities align with God's priorities? (instead of being tossed around by everyone else's calendars)
- Actually have margin and time to breathe together? (instead of constant hurry)
- Spend time pursuing and worshipping Jesus together? (instead of it being the thing that always gets squeezed out of your weekly rhythms.
- Have rich relationships with you spouse and kids that last your whole life? (instead of being frayed and disconnected like ships passing in the night)
- Have fewer arguments and meltdowns? (instead of constant tension waiting for the next explosion)
- Pour your days like fuel into an engine that is taking you somewhere... together!
We did it, our students are doing it and you can do it too!
Keeping your family out of survival mode - living on purpose - doesn't have to be a constant struggle...
Before finding us many of our students tried escaping survival mode only to find themselves back in the same ruts a short time later.
Why? Because the there are deep ruts cut in the trail you are on. Ruts created by the thousands of other families following the same old trail that culture tells us we must take for our kids to be happy, well-rounded, properly socialized and perfectly designed for successful college scholarship applications.
The pull is strong and the trenches are deep, but...
When you follow a proven system that works, it's like a tow truck pulling you out of the rut.
The Family Compass gives you a blueprint that helps you articulate a clear vision for your family. One that builds so much traction and momentum that nothing will stop you from escaping.
WE WILL SHOOT STRAIGHT WITH YOU: IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF WORK, BUT ONCE YOU EXPERIENCE THE FREEDOM THAT COMES WHEN YOU ALIGN YOUR HEART AND HOME WITH THE HEART OF GOD, YOU WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE! IT WILL TASTE SO GOOD THAT YOU WILL NEVER TURN BACK!
This program will take the guesswork out of leading your family from where you are to where God wants you to be. And it will give you a fast pass out of the valley of survival mode!
You can begin a new chapter in your family's story...
STARTING NOW.
We are two soulmates who are crazy about each other and our kids. We love Jesus and want to live a life of bold faith, simplicity and generosity, willing to say "yes" to Him at all costs.
AFTER ESCAPING SURVIVAL MODE AND EMBARKING ON GOD'S BEAUTIFUL AND LIFE-GIVING ADVENTURE FOR OUR FAMILY, WE BECAME PASSIONATE ABOUT HELPING OTHER FAMILIES DO THE SAME.
Through your family, God desires to fill the earth with His glory and to fill his beloved children with a joy that never runs out.
Your family is not a commodity. Your family is not just another statistic. Your family is not just a group of people coincidentally connected to one another.
Your family is uniquely formed and assembled by the Father to accomplish His perfectly designed and deeply fulfilling plans. Your family is God's vessel for continuing the story of His love and redemption in this generation and beyond.
When we fully surrendered to God's call to teach our children diligently (Deuteronomy 6:7) and raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4), God unlocked something powerful in us. We realized that the call to make disciples in our home is not a burden but an honorable and joy-filled privilege.
- YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO FOLLOW JESUS FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
- YOU WANT THEM TO MAKE AN IMPACT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- YOU WANT THEM TO EXPERIENCE THE BLESSING OF LIVING A GENEROUS AND MEANINGFUL LIFE.
- YOU WANT TO HAVE GREAT FRIENDSHIPS WITH THEM AS THEY GROW OLDER.
BUT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT OR BY SENDING GOOD VIBES. IT HAPPENS BY DILIGENT AND INTENTIONAL ACTION, BY WILD FAITH THAT CHOOSES TO FORGE A NEW PATH!
Don't be deceived. There is an enemy who wants to keep you stuck in survival mode, numb and drifting aimlessly. His tactic is to keep you so distracted that you get lost here. Success for him is for your children and grandchildren to get caught in the current and swept up in the endless cycle of grasping for identity and meaning, never knowing the truth of who they are.
BUT THIS WILL NOT BE YOU!
HOW DO YOU GET FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOUR HEART LONGS TO BE?
HOW DO YOU INTEGRATE GOD'S PRIORITIES INTO YOUR BUSY LIFE?
HOW DO YOU RECENTER YOUR HOME AND REBUILD YOUR RHYTHMS AROUND THIS CALLING?
WE BELIVE THAT YOU CAN LEAD YOUR FAMILY IN THE WAY OF JESUS... THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT A HIGH PRIORITY... THAT YOU WILL FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY...
AND THAT YOU SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE ADVENTURE AHEAD.
So what is The Family Compass?

When we first realized that there was actually a different way to raise our family...
we were like... "OK, let's do this!" But we were still afraid that we wouldn't make it far without getting sucked back in to the disconnected and chaotic culture around us.
How could we make a leap like this in the stage of life we're in with three little kids?
Could we really take a different road and find more freedom and peace there?
WHAT WE DID KNOW IS THAT WE WANTED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT PATH THAN THE ONE EVERYONE ELSE WAS ON.
- We wanted a slower and simpler life where we didn't wake up every day already behind schedule.
- We wanted the freedom to dictate our own calendar and not live at everyone else's harried pace.
- We wanted to actually have time to BE together.
- We wanted to be parents who were present, invested in and available to each other and our kids.
- We wanted to eat meals together most nights at home instead of grabbing fast food on the run from one place to another.
- We wanted to have margin to explore interesting and awe-inspiring places together.
- We wanted to have space in our lives to see the needs of others and help them.
- We wanted our kids to see us living in bold faith in Jesus, not worshipping the idols of safety and security.
- We wanted to worship Jesus together in our home during the week, not just on Sundays.
- We wanted to actually have days at home with nothing to do... where our kids had time to actually be... dare we say it... bored!
- We wanted to travel to amazing places and not be worried about staying a few extra days if we wanted to.
- We wanted our daily lives to be full of joy and peace and adventure instead of living for the weekend or the next vacation.
- We wanted our trust in God to be more than just sentimental words.

“The Family Compass has changed the direction of our home. Before this course, we were frustrated and stuck in many areas of our lives and unsure why nothing was ever getting better. As we worked through the content, we became aware of the trade offs we were making contrary to what we really wanted for our family. It has opened our eyes and gotten us thinking and talking in the right direction. It has given us a clear plan to grow together as a family this year. We are forever grateful to Aubrey and Jen!”

A note from us...
We remember how scary it was to stand on the edge of the starting line in our own escape from survival mode. We were tired, on the edge of burning out and didn't want to do something that would screw up our kids down the road. We had doubts and fears about the journey ahead. We knew what we wanted but we didn't know what we were supposed to do.
Thankfully we were more afraid of saying "No" to God than falling flat on our faces and failing... so we put everything on the table and gave God free rein to turn our lives upside down... which he did... in the most wonderful way possible.
We didn't want to wake up a decade later and have to tell our kids how God called us to take the road less travelled but we were too afraid to go.
God put this prayer in our hearts from the very start of our journey,
"GOD, INCREASE OUR CAPACITY TO TRUST YOU."
WARNING: This is a very risky prayer, but if God is real and Jesus is the ONE true savior of the world, then what other option is there than to surrender it all to him and trust him to direct your steps?
You must settle the answer to this one question on your heart, "Can God be trusted?" Because, if he can be trusted, then everything else... and we mean EVERYTHING... will be ok.
Once we settled that question in our hearts, we made the decision to go and never turn back.
Because... on the other side of fear is a life of peace, abundance and adventure that God has dreamed up and specifically designed for YOU!
Isaiah 26:3 says,
"You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."
The Family Compass is our humble offering... our way to partner with parents like you... to help you as you take the exit ramp from the chaos of the superhighway of a frantic culture... to do all that we can to help you succeed on your journey to experience the freedom of God's wonder-filled life-to-the-full adventure for your family.

FAQ's
1. Will this program work?
We wish we could promise that The Family Compass will work like a magic pill, but we can't. YOU are the only one that can commit and put the work in but if you follow the process and are willing to take radical action, you will see results (and quickly)!
2. Things are pretty hectic in our lives right now, should we wait for a better time?
Whenever you ask older parents about their experience raising kids, what do they ALWAYS say? "I know you don't believe me, but it flies by so fast!" There will never be a better time than right now. Either take the leap now or don't. Waiting for a better time just deepens the ruts you are in. Most of our students have joined at inconvenient times in their lives, but they never regretted making the choice to do it anyway. The Family Compass is designed in a way that allows you to build momentum quickly and helps you clear out margin in your life almost immediately.
3. What if I can't afford it?
The truth is that we invest in what we care about and we value most what we choose to invest in. "Where your treasure is, there our hearts and thoughts will be also." If you're going to take this seriously, you are going to have to make an investment that makes it matter to you. We want you to succeed and part of succeeding is giving your family's health and future the value and priority they deserve.
4. Do you offer refunds?
We do not. Don't commit to this unless you're ready to follow through.
5. What if I want to purchase the course but my spouse isn't all in?
We do not recommend starting a journey like this without being committed to this together. Do not purchase this course without their consent. AT THE SAME TIME, this can be an opportunity for the two of you to have an important and meaningful conversation about where you are headed as a family and how you are going to get there. The Family Compass is designed to restore joy and unity in your marriage as you lead your family together.
6. I am a single parent. Will this work for me?
We both grew up in single-parent homes at different seasons of our lives, so we understand the unique challenges you are facing. We believe with all of our hearts that The Family Compass can be effective and life-giving for you and your family. And we believe in you! We will be with you 100% of the way to see you succeed.
7. I've tried other things and failed miserably. I'm afraid I'll just fail again.
You may have tried and failed many times before to break the cycle. But this time it's different.
Joshua 1:9 says, "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For theLord your God is with you wherever you go.”
His will and plans will be accomplished. The current of all of creation is running toward that end. When you walk in the way that God has called you, when you align your life with his purpose, it's like jumping into that river. There is a power there that you can neither create or contain. He will accomplish his good, pleasing and perfect will in you and through you.
