Parenting with Boundaries
2025-01-22 09:15 - 11:15 | Keslinger, 3435 Keslinger Road, Geneva, IL, 60134, United States
Julie Robertson
“Parenting with Boundaries: Security and Sanity”
It is never too early to begin using the concept of boundaries in your family. Boundaries give our children a sense of security, and they can provide us moms with a sense of sanity! We look forward to sharing how boundaries can set your children up for success as they grow and allow you to confidently parent without the shame and guilt that so often overwhelm us as busy moms.
Julie Robertson is the mother of four children and passionate about pouring into her family and into the lives of other women. She and her husband have lived in 5 states during their 23 years of marriage, and she can relate firsthand to many issues that mothers face: marital stress, moving often with young children, anxiety, depression, children with special needs, school struggles, and pursuing God’s call on her life. Julie has been the Coordinator of Care Groups at Chapelstreet Church for over 5 years and became a C.S. Lewis Institute Fellow in June of 2024.

When Your World Crumbles - Jenny Caterer
2025-02-01 18:15 - 19:30 | Mill Creek, 1S455 S Mill Creek Dr, Geneva, IL, 60134, United States
Eight weeks after giving birth to her first child, Jenny was diagnosed with incurable cancer. One week later, she went paralyzed from her ribs to her toes due to the largest of the tumors compressing her spinal cord. She was not expected to sit up in a chair ever again, let alone care for her infant daughter. In that moment, her world crumbled, and her faith was put to the test.
In this seminar, you will hear Jenny Caterer’s remarkable story and learn practical ways to help others going through unimaginable trials of their own.
If you are in a season of pain and unanswered questions, this seminar is for you. You will be reminded that you are not alone, forgotten, or abandoned, and that there is hope for you! You will leave this seminar with tools to take the next (or first) step away from desperation and doubt and onto a path of hope and healing.

Lisa Naatz
“4 Behaviors That Can Make Or Break Your Marriage”
Did you know that couples often wait an average of six years from the time they identify problems in their marriage until they seek help? Research has shown that divorce proofing your marriage isn’t about how you handle disagreements, but rather how you engage with one another
when you are not fighting. Dr. Naatz will guide you through the six predictors of divorce and provide four behaviors you can learn immediately to divorce proof your marriage.
Dr. Lisa Naatz is the co-founder of Hesed Psychological Services and an adjunct professor at Wheaton College in the clinical psychology doctoral program. She has specialized training in clinical neuropsychology, particularly with pediatrics, working with individuals and couples, and training doctoral students from all over the world. Her organization, Hesed Psychological Services, has a missional component where she prepares students to plant Hesed clinics in underserved areas of our country where access to mental health services is unavailable. She has been married for 30 years to Jim and has two adult daughters and sons-in-law, and she is currently waiting patiently for grandchildren.

Keep Your Teen Talking
2025-02-12 12:00 - 13:00 | IL
Gretchen Gilbert
“How to Listen Well so Your Teen Keeps Talking!”
Have you ever had that moment when your teen starts talking, really talking? They are actually opening up and being vulnerable. It is like a lunar eclipse. This doesn’t happen every day. You wonder what to do. How should you respond so they continue talking? How do you keep the communication door open and encourage more real conversations in the future? And what shouldn’t you do that may turn your teen off from sharing with you in the future? Join us, as Gretchen Gilbert helps us to step inside the hearts and minds of our teens to know how to listen well, so your teen keeps talking.
Gretchen Gilbert lives in Batavia with her husband and 3 kids. Gretchen has co-led high school ministries here at Chapelstreet Church. She has a passion for teaching the Bible and finding joy in everyday life. She loves going on RV trips with her family, eating delicious food and spending time with friends.

Julie Robertson
“Boundaries with Teens: Untangling the Apron Strings”
Tween and teen years can be hard as our children start to assert their independence. How do you keep them safe yet not smother them? What are your teens responsibilities and what are yours as the parent? What decisions do they get to make and when do they still need to just do what they’re told? Learn how healthy boundaries can provide clear expectations for everyone in the family during these tumultuous years.
