Shaping Families- Parenting after divorce

Kirsten’s parents divorced in a time when Mennonites rarely split, and she is now a divorced parent herself. But she points out that doesn’t mean “single” parenting.

Kirsten, featured on this week’s Shaping Families radio program, writes on the topic and has conducted seminars to help other divorced parents work together to raise children.

Shaping Families is now entering its fourth month of weekly broadcasts serving 12 radio stations. The broadcasts, transcripts, study guides and other resources are also available weekly at www.ShapingFamilies.com , produced by Third Way Media, a division of Mennonite Mission Network.
