What Others Are Saying...
Bryce and Brooke Blomberg
"When parents ask us the one piece of advice we can share that has been most valuable in having children, we agree together every time that it was taking the Training Hearts Biblical Parenting Class. We feel equipped to handle and thrive through the various stages of our children's development with anticipation and without dread!"
Pastor Tony and Bre Wood
"With one child having developmental and social disorders, our life wasn’t just hectic, it was overwhelming. However, we believe that ‘training hearts’, through Christ, has done what psychology and medication couldn’t have done, and allowed our little guy to love God and love others..."
Pastor Nate and Christina Rosales
"Training Hearts for Jesus has been a tremendous blessing, not just for our children, but for us as parents! The Lord used Mario and Sharon mightily to show us how to navigate His Word faithfully with eternity in mind..."
Sharon Cannavo has combined the biblical parenting wisdom from Shepherding a Child's Heart by Pastor Tedd Tripp and Child Training Tips by Pastor Reb Bradley. The result is Training Hearts for Jesus®, a 14 week biblical parenting class and curriculum.
As our culture radically changes, Mario and Sharon are more devoted than ever to the mission of helping parents gain confidence and understanding in Christian parenting.
The Cannavos have witnessed hundreds of homes growing in greater relationship, both in the family and in their walks with Christ. They often hear parents express their appreciation as they consider what might have been without this life changing course.
