CORNERSTONES of Parenting: “The Bucknam’s dedication to helping us in our pursuit of raising Godly, obedient children has single-handedly changed the trajectory of our parenting. Although there will never be an “easy” button for parenting, Gayle and Bob have helped equip my husband and me to tackle day-to-day life with our kids through Christ-centered principles. The kind of wisdom they have so graciously shared with us is incredibly rare, valuable, and necessary in today's “not so biblically anchored” world. From a newborn to a high schooler leaving the nest for college, Bob and Gayle have provided the tools and materials necessary to not only survive the trials - but to thrive in all situations and cultivate a culture in your home that will stimulate Godly character within your child - honesty, integrity, discernment, trust, gratitude, responsibility, empathy and more. We are so grateful for Bob & Gayle’s passion for sharing their parenting wisdom with others!” - Nick and Courtney F.

CORNERSTONES of Parenting: “We’re so grateful for this class. It’s shaped our entire way of parenting and allowed my husband and I to be on the same page as we navigate parenting in this day in age. Their class has helped us to believe our kids can meet a standard of obedience we didn’t think was possible. We’ve put many of their teachings in place in our home and have watched our kids blossom as they take on age-appropriate responsibilities and ownership over tasks at home. I’m often told my kids have great manners and I attribute it to how much this class taught us. It’s been such a blessing to learn from the Bucknams, we’re eternally grateful for it.” - Jamina N.

CORNERSTONES of Parenting: “The Cornerstones of Parenting class was such a blessing to our family. Founded on biblical principles, this class guided our family to have a clear vision and intentional purpose in our everyday parenting. Bob and Gayle taught the class with passion, empathy, experience, and love. They covered a wide spectrum of topics that truly helped deepen and strengthen relationships within the family. We left each week feeling encouraged and motivated to practice and implement that week’s teaching. We cannot recommend this class enough! We know we will see the fruit for years and years to come!” - Noah and Madi D.

CORNERSTONES of Parenting: “There is no question that Cornerstones of Parenting is one of the most important things we could have done for the success of our children and our marriage. We got as much value from the conversation that was brought up naturally between us as a couple as we did from the curriculum. Not to mention the conversations and relationships that grew with others as the class progressed. In addition, our confidence as parents in pursuit of raising kids in line with Biblical standards grew while pursuing the end goal with other like-minded couples. The challenges we face as parents can feel like mountains some days. Cornerstones of Parenting helped provide both the tools and confidence we need to continue to chase the standard God has called us to as parents.” -William and Ann K.

CORNERSTONES of Parenting: “Parenting has been the biggest challenge and the biggest blessing of our lives. The Lord blessed us with our two children and, as such, we want to do everything in our power to raise them to be filled with the fruits of the spirit, seek the Lord, be responsible adults and people others want to be around. Five years ago my husband and I were blessed to take Cornerstone's of Parenting and then again last year. Both times we learned new and challenging ways to support our children, discipline them, guide them toward our family's True North (Jesus), and hold them and ourselves accountable. We received guidance on how to build a family with a purpose. This class encouraged our marriage and the big picture we wanted for our family for generations to come, while at the same time, giving us practical steps for day-to-day moments with our kids. It has changed our family and we pray will do so for generations to come.” - Steven and Marqui B.

Cornerstones of Parenting: “The world we’re living in right now is so loud about everything, parenting being no exception. Everyone, everywhere, has an opinion on the “right” way to parent, and they all go against each other. As a Christian, our guide has to be the word of God. Dr. Bucknam and Gayle have been such a gift to our family because they take Biblical principles, paired with their real-world experiences (as a doctor and counselor), and give practical applications to families. We couldn’t appreciate or love the Bucknams more, and are thankful that they are sharing their wisdom with us!” - Kent & Nichole M.

WELCOME HOME: “The Welcome Home class is a breath of fresh air for moms in every season of life. Gayle uses her experience from raising four children and tending to her home to pour wisdom into many different areas of motherhood as well as the home environment. Through all the topics she covers, she helps moms have confidence in their unique and special role as a mother and guides them to create peace within the home. This class gave me the courage to try new things and encouraged me to bring others alongside me in my motherhood journey. The Welcome Home class is truly life-giving and I’m so grateful!” - Madi D.

WELCOME HOME: “This class builds so many areas in a woman's life. Gayle's Welcome Home class has given me practical ways to bake better bread and build a beautiful table when hosting, but it has also encouraged and fostered relationships with other young moms walking through the same challenges I am. This class reminds me to dig into the Lord and what he says about being a woman, a wife, and a mother. This class encourages me to hang on to the Truth and be glad for the chance to be a mom, be thankful to be a wife, and remember the glorious roles God has given me in this world. They are not to be done half-heartedly but with purpose and strength. And I am reminded that I do not have to draw on my strength alone.” - Marqui B.
