Busy Families: Learning to Say “No” in Order to Say “Yes”

Presented byMike Emlet

Purchase Session Audio

The 1976 hit song by The Eagles puts it like this: “Life in the fast lane/ Surely make you lose your mind/ Life in the fast lane/ Everything all the time.” Does this describe your family life? Do you say “yes” to many good things but wonder if you are saying “no” to the best things? Do you yearn for something different? This session will explore the causes and challenges of frenetic family life and will promote ways to proactively address internal and external pressures that contribute to the tyranny of urgent family living.
