Living on Borrowed Time: The Nine Practices of the Proactive Parent
As a pilot for American Airlines, Steve was originally scheduled to be the co-pilot on the first flight to be hijacked on 9/11. He was bumped from that flight through extraordinary circumstances. Now, he tells his deeply moving story of God’s providence on that terrible day in our history. Discover how God now uses him to teach parents worldwide how to train their children with purpose and urgency as he introduces “The Nine Practices of the Proactive Parent.” Intensely practical and Bible-based, these practices give parents the tools and hope they need to build a Christ-centered and character-driven home environment.
Dr. Steve and Megan Scheibner have spent the last twenty years developing parenting, grand-parenting, and youth character development resources. In 2010, they formed Characterhealth.com to share their researched methods with parents worldwide. The Scheibners are biblical counselors with years of counseling experience. Steve received his doctorate in 2011, writing on the role of parents in the character development of children. Megan earned her master’s in Christian ministry in 2020. Years of research into character development have uniquely prepared them to equip today’s parents. With eight children, they offer practical tips and techniques that have undergone years of hands-on testing. Besides speaking at conferences and churches, the Scheibners appeared as guests on Family Talk with Dr. James Dobson, In the Market with Janet Parshall, the Glenn Beck TV show, and many other venues. Through seminars, books, podcasts, blogs, and articles, they have helped thousands of parents transform their homes and families into relationally strong models of Christian living. Join them as together we train a new generation of courageous, Christ-like and character-healthy leader.
