Hi, I'm Kimberly. 
I would love to hear these for the simple reason that, although my husband and I have been following the Lord in our marriage for the past 7 years, there is still plenty we need to learn. We are very familiar with the Vision Forum ministry and know that it would be a great encouragement for us. Thank for offering these giveaways!!
I love these topics and would like to hear them being discussed. They sound very interesting and look like they would be very encouraging to anyone blessed to hear them.
Thank you!
I follow you on Facebook!
Thank you!
I posted about this on my blog!
Thank you so much.
I posted about this on my blog!
Thank you so much.
3. I posted about this on my blog!
Thank you so much.
I’m always up for more tips on how to work together as a family! This would really encourage us too.
I like you on Facebook!
In the midst of a quickly growing family, we have realized the necessity of having a more formalized plan for what our family life looks like and the logistics of all that goes with it! Any chance to glean information from other Godly men and women/parents who have gone before is cherished!
I follow raising olives on fb too!
We are a young family and we are trying to raise our children in a way that honors God. This is trying in our current society in that we lack training. This resource would be a great encouragement to our home and family.
I’m interested in this product because my husband and I would both enjoy listening to it, although he’s more of an audio person than I am. But I’m interested in about anything by parents of large families (especially homeschool families), and this looks like it will probably contain some helpful thoughts.
If we already followed you on FB, does that count?
I’d love to hear these lectures because my children are all young, and I appreciate learning from people with older, God-fearing children who have been here before.
I would love to win these! Since our 5th little one was born last year I’ve been struggling to keep my head above water. I think these may really help us focus.
This is the first giveaway I’ve ever entered. I am a mother of one little girl (2) and would love more. We are hoping for more blessings from God and know he will give in the right time. I think we are in a time in our family where we are trying to get our lives straight with God, were trying to be more active Christians and so I think this is why we are still waiting for God’s next blessing. My point being that I think this giveaway would help us to continue to get our lives in line for 6 kids or more that I would like to have. I don’t think I know how to leave additional entries. If you have a moment to explain I’d love it.
I would love to win this. So many of these topics sound perfect for my family.
I would love these resources. I have been a homeschooling mom for a long time with eight children, and sometimes you need a resource like this to remind, encourage and help you along the path.
Number 16 makes me giggle; I’m imagining:
“Pick out a movie; put it in the DVD player; push play; watch.” and perhaps “Optional: make some popcorn or other crunchy snack if you feel so inclined; ”
Lol. Now if it were how to CHOOSE a movie to watch as a family, well I see how that could be more convoluted…We take forever in my extended family because everyone has different tastes and preferences and we’ve all seen or not seen different movies. Heck, it usually takes dh and I alone a good 20 minutes to agree on something.
I’d love to win because I don’t have godly parents or in-laws and would love to have some more godly influence in my and my husband’s life.
I’m especially interested in Bealls tips on organizing the home for family unity and the ideas on moving through an airport safely.
I’m intersted in learning the tips for organizing the home for family unity.
I would LOVE to win this! I really want to learn more about how to decorate and use the space in my home to foster more family unity and a love of learning and reading! Thank you!
Family unity is something my family struggles with. Even though my children are young, 0-7, and we homeschool, it is a struggle helping the kids think “family” instead of “me, me, me!”
It would be neat to listen to any of these topics. Vision Forum has certainly blessed my family and opened our eyes to many biblical truths that we weren’t aware of.
Thank you!
I would love to enter.
Godly mentors are not easy to find and I think that we could gain a lot from these lessons.
I already “like” on fb, if that counts.
I follow RO on FB!

would love to use this for family nights, thanks for the chance!
I would love to win this simply because I regard the Phillip’s as a very wise and Godly couple. I would treasure any advice they have to offer!

liked u on facebook
I would love this as I am the head female over a blended family household involving three moms, two dads, and five kids. I need all the help I can get!
I have liked you on facebook under the name Jamie Owen. Don’t ask.
Thanks for offering this….I love following all your posts!
This resource would be a tremendous blessing to my husband and I as we navigate the issues which arise as we raise our 7 young ones. I am particularly eager to learn from their “femininity” and “masculinity” recordings.
I am raising to boys (so far) and want to glorify God with the family he has blessed us with – these would help.
I think this would be a real encouragement and help to us.
Wow! I could really use a ton of help on the topics from the list. We are a young family four littles 5, 3 1/2, almost 2 & 2 months. We want to start doing things right from the beginning!
Thank you for your blog!
We have thoroughly enjoyed Vision Forum products for years. I would love to add this to our library.
I would love to have the opportunity to hear the Phillips speak on these issues so close to our hearts, and so necessary in this season of little/young ones. Neither of us come from a background which teaches or truely supports these ideas, so we often look to Vision Forum and others like them for Titus 2 like instruction. Thank you for the opportunity of the giveaway.
It’s like going to a home school conference without the travel! What a good idea one that I am sure you and Mark will enjoy as well.
I have really just started my relationship with God, and I want to hopefully lead my family to have a relationship, too. As a mom to a liitle one, I know the sooner the better.
I would love to win this because I live in the UK, so this is one of the few of your giveaways I can take advantage of!
#12 (How to Use Household Decorations to Teach Character) sounds absolutely intriguing. And our family could really use #6 (How to Involve the Whole Family in Family Worship) – we are wrestling with our 18-month-old son right now, so any wisdom would be gratefully received.
Blessings,
Liz
How I would love this – if it was available in Australia! Looks wonderful!
I am just getting started with homeschooling, and am looking for all the help I can get. This sounds wonderful.
I’m a single mom of 6 by adoption..need I say more
I would love to win this because it would be wonderful to hear from a couple who seems to strive for godliness in all areas of family life.
Need #11 here.
This series sounds WONDERFUL. I have recently been able to hear “Logistics of a Large Family” from the Baby Conference and left feeling like I needed to sit at the feet of these women for hours and glean wisdom. This is already on my wish list for the time when the Lord provides the means. My husband and our six wonderful blessings would all benefit as well!
