Welcome!

What if Jesus had had children of His own?  What principles concerning God, life, and the world would He have wanted them to learn?  How would He have taught them these principles?  In fact, how did He teach and instruct those who were His closest family, His disciples?  

Written by Pastor Hal Perkins,  "If Jesus Were A Parent" explores child rearing from the viewpoint of a lifelong disciple maker, applying the teaching and disciplining techniques Jesus Himself used with His disciples.  Making committed disciples of Jesus has been Hal Perkins passion since he first discovered this Biblical principle during his college years.  As a young parent his first and most important efforts in disciple-making were directed toward his own children.  He and his wife, Debbi, applied the disciple-making principles to the rearing of their own children with tremendous results and share these experiences with the reader in “If Jesus Were a Parent”.  A pastor and disciple-maker for 30 years, Hal has experienced first hand how making disciples of Jesus has helped hundreds of parents navigate the challenging and sometimes treacherous waters of raising kids.
