We want you to meet Chris and Anne Hogan. They have discovered a simple yet effective method for resolving conflicts that arise in marriages. It has been more than 90% effective!

In about three hours, couples who have deep hurts toward each other have been able to resolve them and enjoy a whole new level of oneness. The Hogans also use it to build harmony among their nine children!

For four and a half years, Lauren tried to have a deeper friendship with her dad. When her efforts failed, she gave up and built a wall around her heart so that he could not hurt it anymore.

One day, Lauren’s dad realized what she was needing. When he gave it to her, their entire relationship was transformed. At the seminar, Lauren will explain what her dad did that every other dad can do also.

In just ten hours, you can receive a wealth of powerful facts, practical insights, and time-tested steps of action. These steps have the potential to benefit you and your family for generations to come.

1. How can a couple achieve real oneness in marriage?

The best gift that a dad and mom can give their children is to love each other! When parents disagree, their children become insecure and often play one parent against the other in order to get what they want.

Chris and Anne Hogan have developed an interview with nine reciprocal questions. It is amazingly effective because it helps each partner see the other's point of view. Thousands of couples who were taught how to use this method now testify that their marriages were strengthened or restored. When you hear Chris Hogan's presentation, you will understand why it is so effective.

2. What is the main reason why teens “tune out” their dads?

Studies confirm that a dad's interaction with his children will have a greater influence on their lives than any other one relationship— either for good or for bad. For this reason, it is essential that the dad does not lose their hearts. Unfortunately, many teens tune out their dads long before the dads even realize what has happened.

A dad usually assumes that his children have taken up new interests with their friends, that they are busy, or that they are just going through a “growing up” stage. This tragic alienation is totally unnecessary. It could be solved so quickly and easily if the dad simply understood the one thing his children want most from him but are not receiving.

3. What are the seven basic needs of every teenager?

Every teenager has basic needs, each of which can be met in a right way or a wrong way. Our culture is pressuring them to choose the wrong way. By knowing what these needs are, you can guide your teens to fulfill them in ways that will give them purpose in life and fulfillment in their future. This is basic information for every dad.

4. How can dads change their teens' attitudes without speaking?

Your sons and daughters long for praise. Effective praise has three aspects: identifying a specific character quality such as diligence, punctuality, or cleanliness; explaining how you saw them demonstrate this quality; and telling them how their actions have encouraged you.

Most teens are very insecure; they fear rejection and long for approval. Therefore, they tend to be loyal to whomever praises them. If you do not, others will.

However, there is another way to change their attitudes that is even more effective. You do not need to say a word to them, yet you will usually see significant results. This principle will be explained and confirmed through testimonies of teens who have benefited from it.

5. How can a dad bond with the hearts of his teens?

Bonding occurs when a teenager feels safe in telling his or her dad about secret fears, failures, desires, and doubts. This is best accomplished when the dad sets aside time to be alone with that teen and ask precise questions. Fifteen insightful questions will be given that you can ask your sons and daughters. You will learn why these questions are important, what to listen for, and how to respond to each one.

6. What twenty-one steps can train children not to rebel when they are teenagers?

This information is worth the entire seminar! It is filled with rich insights and practical applications. For example, we will examine the myth of adolescence. This hoax is destroying American youth. It propagates the false notion that there is a period of time, between childhood and adulthood, in which youth should be given maximum freedom with minimum responsibility. The result is that teenagers become controlled by peer pressure, fail to develop a work ethic and skills, and have no real purpose in life.

7. What can a dad give his sons and daughters that they will cherish all their lives?

Most dads find it difficult to write letters for a variety of reasons—the time it takes, the difficulty in organizing thoughts, the challenge of not knowing what to say, etc. Yet a dad's handwritten letter that expresses his love and acceptance will be one of the most cherished possessions of any son or daughter.

After being given guidelines on what you could write and why it is important, you will have an opportunity to actually write a letter to your children.

8. How can a dad detect and resolve teen addictions, including eating disorders?

An addiction is a mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual bondage that cannot be broken without outside help. There are many kinds of addictions among teens today, some of which may involve anger, lust, and drugs.

Of all the problems faced by teenage girls today, anorexia and bulimia are among the most serious. There are root causes to these diseases that can be identified and eliminated. You will have an opportunity to discover these at this seminar.

9. How can a dad contribute to the total health of his family?

When a prominent physician lost his son to murder, he could not overcome his grief. Soon he developed cancer. He wondered if there was any connection between his stress of bitterness and the development of the disease.

With this in mind, he conducted a study of twenty thousand patients. Based on this research, he was able to find a correlation between specific types of emotional stress and specific diseases. When a patient's stress was resolved, his disease often cleared up!

At this seminar, you will learn the five basic causes of all diseases and how seven stresses directly affect seven systems of the body. You will then learn how you and your family can resolve them. This is revolutionary, new, and powerful information!

 

 

David’s dad asked him a question years ago that has influenced his life and given him purpose and direction. He wants to share it with you at the seminar.
Jordan’s dad is the majority leader of the Florida Senate. For years he has been using these principles with his family and colleagues. He has run unopposed in elections since 1984 and has recently had a highway named after him.

Jordan will explain how his dad shaped his life and character.
Jordan’s sister, Elizabeth, clashed with a younger sister regarding the cleanliness of their room. She applied the principle for changing attitudes and saw immediate results. Elizabeth will explain how it happened at this seminar.

When Janny was a teenager, her stomach stopped digesting her food. She consulted with doctor after doctor, but nothing worked. She was kept alive by liquid supplements until the doctors finally predicted that she would die.

Her father, however, had been trained in how to deal with crises. As a result of the action that he took, Janny was healed. Today, Janny enjoys helping other girls resolve the same problem that almost took her life. She will be at this seminar to share her testimony.
