We have been talking about how to honestly assess our family relationships and approach them with the mind of Christ. Now it's time to explore how we can actually communicate with our parents. Join Pat Morley and learn a tension-reducing way to start an awkward but crucial conversation. Whether your family's level of dysfunction is low, moderate, serious, or severe, we've got you covered.

We'll also discuss what to do if you can't communicate with your parents—whether it's because they aren't available, or you just can't move on. Join us for a day that could change everything for you, a loved one, or the men you mentor!

Reflection and Discussion

1. Have you attempted to have a crucial conversation with your parents about your childhood wounds? If so, how did it go? If not, what is keeping this conversation from happening?

2. Which next step suits your situation best—keep doing what you’re doing, initiate a crucial conversation, have a facilitated session, or set boundaries? Why is this the next best step for you?

3. Obviously, there’s a natural tension between the need for action and the desire to avoid a potential negative outcome. With that in mind, what is one thing you can do this week to overcome your reluctance and reach out to your parents?
