This was the first part of a two-part S2S Event called “God’s Design for the Home” held on February 24, 2024.
Also, see part 2 “God’s Design for the Home – Marriage” by John Byler.
Strength to Strength welcomed John Byler to encourage healthy dynamics in raising our children into the fear of God.
Our children are faced with a world of challenges. Let’s take a look at our heavenly Father to understand how we can best prepare our children for life.
An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

John enjoys projects, a good song, walks at night to pray, camping trips, playing guitar and pretty much anything having to do with wood, leather, and coffee. He is a jack of all trades and enjoys work from construction to piano tuning.
He desires to be faithful in where God has him and is always striving for a deeper prayer life and walk with the Lord. John and his wife Beth live in Perry County, Pennsylvania with their nine children. They attend Perry Believers Fellowship in Elliottsburg.
