Join us at our next Men’s Breakfast on Aug 22, as Joey and Stephanie Ruyter offer up how to create family values, that in turn help you fight for margin in your life and the life of your family.
Fresh breakfast and hot coffee included.
There are so many decisions to be made, every single day. What to eat? Where to get coffee? Which way to the office? Who is picking up which kid up and when? These types of questions don’t even scratch the surface with the amount of decisions we make daily. Studies show the average person makes up to 35,000 decisions in a day.
My question: Do you have a grid, or a set of values that help you make all these decisions?
Joey and Stephanie have been together since their senior year of high school, and have been married 18 years this October. They have four children: two in high school, and two in elementary school. Besides being a wife to Joey, and a mom to her four kids, Stephanie is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate (Supervised by Deana Reed, LPC-S #68220). Using a Family Systems approach to counseling, Stephanie works with individuals with a variety of struggles including anxiety and depression. Among her areas of focus is helping couples navigate complex conflict situations.
Together, they are passionate about marriages and helping couples not just survive in their marriage, but giving them tools and resources to help them thrive.
Join them, and a room full of like-minded men, on Saturday, Aug 22.
