Thank you Carlos. All right, we're, we're rolling. We're live. I, we, we are going on a journey this morning, so, we're gonna, I'm just gonna jump and dive right into it.
I, my goal that I have, challenged myself with is to make sure that I leave time for questions and for interaction, OK? So if you look at your handout, I wrote a little vision statement for myself. And, you get a chance to, to look at it too, but it gives an, it gives you some insight into how I think, how my brain works, but, here's my assignment to teach a biblically-based interactive, practically instructive class about parenting through the various stages of life from pregnancy through maturity. inside of that statement, interactive, that's where you come in.
Practically instructive, I'm gonna try to hit that as much as possible, but I think your questions and our Q&A time, our comment time will be really helpful as far as making it practically instructive. And then, that last phrase there, pregnancy through maturity, just as a little, I guess a preview of what the lesson is about. we, Kim and I chose the word maturity. I had adulthood in here but we changed it.
We changed it to maturity to try to encompass more than just raising our kids until they're adults and hopefully as we go through the lesson I unpack that, that'll make a little bit More sense. OK, so now I'm gonna slip into coaching mode. All of that I'm a coach and I'm an instructor. Slip into coaching mode....
