Each Love’s Actions audio is around an hour long and includes a transcript for those who prefer to read, or read along. In each Seminar, Barbie Poling brings to you a thorough explanation and discussion of one of love’s actions taken from Scripture, such as patience, faithfulness, kindness, and so on. She 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—with your spouse, with your children, and in the relationship between siblings.
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.

Thank you so much, Barbie!” ~ Michelle H
