Her emerging brand of resources revolve around being a Bible teacher and Christian mother who communicates the Bible faithfully in a way that is simple and easy to understand. Her current focus is to empower, equip, and encourage parents to pass on God’s Word to their children in a way kids eagerly receive -- and parents enjoy. Connie and her husband, Patrick have been married since 1979.
