loves Character Qualities seminars
by Barbie Poling and Marilyn Howshall
These hour long seminars will provide you with a thorough explanation and discussion of one of love’s character qualities taken from Scripture, such as patience, faithfulness, kindness, and so on. Barbie Poling provides an expanded definition taken from the dictionary, and uses many clear illustrations of what a particular love’s action would look like worked out in your family relationships.
Each seminar concludes with how God expresses that particular love’s action toward us. It’s our hope to bring conviction to your heart and inspiration for taking positive love actions toward your family. As God corrects and instructs you toward becoming the loving parent He wants you to be, Lifestyle of Learning™ will work for you just as it does for us and many other moms who’ve been making these same changes.

“Listening to even one of the Love's Actions audios will enrich your walk with the Lord and open up your eyes to see the ways of Jesus walked out in everyday situations down to the finest detail with your children and spouse, and also between you and the Lord. Barbie brings a copious amount of practicality filled with examples in a very clear and precise manner to illustrate every point made in her presentation. Once you have listened to one audio, you will not want to miss out on hearing all the rest of them. These audios are not something you want to pass up!”

Blessed by Real and Specific Teaching
"I am learning from the Love's Actions audios how much more there is to loving my family than I ever have known before. I am so blessed by Barbie's teachings that are so real and specific, not theory. They are so life changing. This is real education in the things that really matter. Each time I listen to one, I see how far away from loving I have been, and it grieves me so much. Yet, I am filled with so much joy, because Barbie tells not only what we are to stop doing, but what we should start doing instead. Specific, practical. There is life and hope here. Don't miss it! Thank you so much, Barbie!" ~ Michelle G
Transformational!
"The Love's Actions audios have been transformational for me. My husband and children have been telling me what a difference they see in me. Thank you Barbie! I cannot wait to hear the newest one as well as read and highlight the transcript." ~ Sharyn K
Dear Fellow Parent,
“I want to make the subject of learning how to love much and well as practical as possible. I've heard many exhortations to love in various messages or sermons, but I'm left with the impression that love simply means to smile a lot, be nice, and avoid conflict. I'm so thankful that God's kind of love is so much richer and deeper, and that we can become Christlike as we learn how to love like He does!”

Marilyn's ministry empowers parents to become competent working in the heartbeat of their family. She shows you how to break through the barriers that prevent heart-level relating between family members. You will come to understand how you compensate with self-focused behaviors instead of doing the hard work of lovingly addressing heart-level relating habits in yourself and in your children. Your whole family will experience reconciliation with one another and with God. The Christlike character that results leads to deeper bonds in your relationships so you can write the best possible family story for the Lord. Marilyn's ministry is on-line as well as in her local community in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
