Calling of a Parent & Encouraging Our Children
There is no greater calling than being a parent. Our words and our relationships with our children affect them for life in who they are.  Our children must know we love them unconditionally.  They must also know who they are in Jesus Christ. Our guest today is Coach Rick Andreassen of Saints International. Coach Rick will be giving us an inspirational interview on the love we should show our children and our spouses.


Coach Rick Andreassen has over 26 years experience as a Teacher, Coach, Lecturer and as a Children’s Minister. In 1997 Rick founded the Christian Homeschool Athletic Association of Florida, which currently reaches over 5,000 Homeschool Students per week throughout Florida, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nevada and has just launched it’s first out-of-the country program in Guatemala, and Kenya and Zambia, Africa.

Coach Rick is a Psychology Major with an emphasis on Early Childhood Development, and a Certified Minister. Rick has recently been inducted into the “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers”, a national recognition to honor the most respected teachers in our country...He is the first Homeschool Educator to ever receive this award.

The heart of Rick’s message is always “God is Faithful!!!” His prayer and goal is that the Lord would Inspire, Encourage, and Revitalize each and every parent, wherever they are on their Homeschool journey!!! Coach Rick has an amazing way of communicating from the Heart of God, to the Heart of a Parent, about the Heart of a Child. His passion and enthusiasm to see young people become all that God has created them to be, and his sincere love for the Lord, will be sure to inspire us all. Whether you are a “First-Time” Homeschooler or a “Seasoned Veteran”…Coach Rick’s daily reminder is “We must first put the oxygen mask on ourselves, before assisting others”...So please “COME AND BE ENCOURAGED!!!” Rick’s ultimate prayer is to Encourage, Encourage, and Encourage some more!!!
