Blended Bit - Cheryl Shumake, “You Are Not Your Worst Parenting Moment”

• Many parents secretly believe their mistakes define them but the gospel reminds us failure is not the final word. This session explores how to release shame, embrace forgiveness, and move forward with renewed courage in your parenting relationships.

Keynote #4 - Davey Blackburn, “Hard Road. Living Hope”

• The story of Jacob and Esau shows how healing in families begins by honestly facing past pain, brokenness, and unresolved history. It teaches that while grief and trauma are part of our stories, God can redeem them and reshape our identity and future. Through humility, faith, and confronting the past, the foundation for healing and healthier blended families is created.
