Families determine so much and Dr. Kimmel, in his winsome, humorous way, will put forth a convincing case for the benefits of building strong families.

Someday our children will grow up to leave our homes and they’ll have to stand on their own. It’s our job as a parent to make sure that we’ve done all we can to prepare them for what lies ahead. God, the perfect parent, has actually left us with a plan to do this and do it well. It’s called Grace-Based Parenting – treating your children the way God treats his children. Grace-based parenting happens when we apply God’s love to four key areas of our children’s live. We meet their three driving inner needs, we offer them four essential freedoms, we build character into their hearts and we aim them at a future focused upwards and outwards. With passion and humor, award winning author, speaker, and founder of Family Matters, Dr. Tim Kimmel, also known as the “Guru of Grace” will show you how to raise kids who love God, live for Him and make an eternal impact in their world. Based on the Gold Medallion winning book, Grace Based Parenting.

They say that marriages are made in heaven. Unfortunately they have to be lived out here on earth. That’s why we might want to enlist God’s help when it comes to fulfilling our commitments and making the most of the love that convinces us to say “I do”. Not all marriages are hurting, but it’s hard to find one that isn’t hassled because very few couples come to the altar with a clue of what they’re up against. With passion and humor, award winning author, speaker, and founder of Family Matters, Dr. Tim Kimmel, will give you a definition of love that you can take to the bank, even when there’s no “like” in your “love”. With heartwarming wit and uncanny insight, Dr. Kimmel will share specific and intentional ways we can invest in our marriages in order to maintain a calm and confident love in the middle of our crazy lives and be deliberate about loving our spouse the way God loves His bride. Based on the newly released book, The Grace Based Marriage.

You’ll think Dr. Tim Kimmel has been reading your mail, because he nails the diagnosis of this pervasive challenge that we all face right on the head. Whether it’s stress at work or in the home, the hurried lives that we all navigate can rob us of our joy and productivity. In his lighthearted but deadly serious way, award winning author, speaker, and founder of Family Matters, Dr. Kimmel will hit you right between the eyes with conviction and solutions to turn the stress that takes us down into strategies for a more meaningful, purposeful life. Based on the best selling book Little House on the Freeway, (over 800,000 sold).

Dr. Tim Kimmel, award winning author, speaker, and founder of Family Matters, will share insights regarding the kind of personal legacy we are each leaving. Contrary to conventional wisdom, legacies that make the greatest impact are not the ones founded on money, status, influence, or acclaim. Lasting legacies are born out of purposeful investments in the lives of those around us—especially the people closest to us. And the bonus is that a strong relational legacy makes our other achievements much more meaningful. With heartwarming wit and uncanny insight, Dr. Kimmel will share specific and intentional ways we can invest in the lives of others and, in the process, create relational legacies that will far surpass the impact of any monuments our efforts might leave to our existence.

What if you spent all of your life checking items off your spiritual bucket list only to find out you had the wrong list? The average evangelical “gets” grace when it comes to “saving” grace. But once a person has put their faith in Jesus, we distill what follows down to a checklist of acceptable behavior. This obviously pollutes our relationship with God, but it also pollutes our relationship with the people closest to us, because we put them on the same performance basis. .
This flawed view of our relationship with God robs us of the heart connection that God longs to have with us. With compassion and conviction, award winning author, speaker, and founder of Family Matters, Dr. Tim Kimmel, gives you another list to consider. The Grace List. A whole new way of living and loving the God who gave His all for us.
