Ruling The Roost Parenting Series Ideas
Thursday, August 28th, 2008We are starting our Ruling the Roost Parenting series next week. Here is our mailer front illustrated by Yenipher Chung.
Here is the copy to hook interest.
Today, kids have taken over the pecking order and are calling the shots on family schedules, commitments, and priorities. Join us as we learn how to gain back healthy control and produce confident, successful kids.
We are stacking several things into the series including:
- -A huge Ruling the Roost parenting forum where we introduce an 8 month Intentional Parenting Experience.
- -Beverly Hillbilly’s videos where Granny gets the best of Jethro discipline wise
- -A Cosby clip where Theo parties with the people
- -Interviews with two of our lesser onstage staff members/wives who have raised great kid
- -Some great tunes Brent found on parenting
- -Teams (our small groups) using Raising Kid’s By the Book and Revolutionary Parenting as curriculum
- -A family campout
- -Begin “selling/recruiting” our Haltom City Home Makeover to impact economically challenged families. We try to mobilize at least 800 of our folks for the intense 24 hour home restoration project on 4 houses.
We have found that stacking multiple reinforcing elements helps us to gain real momentum in our number of guests and their assimilation into NorthWood. Our Man Up series was one of our best this year because of this. At NorthWood, we do a large “seeker push” (for lack of an adoption of my better term “the sought”) in January and in September. The gospel will be presented very clearly in these series as well as biblical wisdom on parenting. Without the gospel, it becomes Oprah or Dr Phil, a sort of mini-law that no one can keep with the power of Christ and the Holy Spirit anyway.
