Made on Purpose
A free guide for Christian parents of middle schoolers. See your child, made on purpose, and yourself, the way God actually does.
"Your middle schooler isn't broken, and neither is your parenting."
I've wrestled with believing both were true.
What you'll learn
Why your child's changing body, brain, and emotions are part of God's design, not a warning sign.
How to stop taking the silence and distance personally, and see what's actually happening instead.
A simple practice for turning this week's hardest moment into evidence of design, not proof you are failing.
Hi, I'm Anthony.
I've spent the last 25 years working with and walking alongside youth. Whether in education or youth ministry roles, my life has revolved around helping students of all ages walk through identity, belonging, and purpose.
Currently I serve as a principal at a Christian middle school, sitting with hundreds of 11-to-14 year-olds every year. I also am a father of three boys, ages 18, 15, and 12 living through every stage this guide describes in my own home.
Inside the guide
Everything you need to start relating to your middle schooler and yourself.
Made on Purpose walks through the Bible's own grand story, Creation, Rebellion, Promise, Redemption, Church/Mission, and Restoration, and what each act reveals about the middle schooler in your home. This free guide is Act 1: Creation, the reminder that your child's changing body, mind, and emotions aren't a problem to manage. They're a person being made on purpose, right in front of you.
