Launching alongside Barna

As part of the RelateForward launch, the Barna Group will introduce the program to its audience of pastors and church leaders. These are limited-time launch events — not products for sale, and not part of the curriculum.

Launch webinars

Barna will host a live webinar for its audience, connecting the Flourishing Families research to RelateForward with a panel of guest experts. The Boone Center will host a second conversation for its own audience with Barna representatives.

Podcast episodes

Two episodes on a Barna pastor-focused podcast channel, introducing RelateForward to church leaders during the launch window.

The outcome

Strong relationships. Vibrant, lasting faith.

Through RelateForward, parents will learn how to create strong parent-child relationships and use those relationships as a vehicle to cultivate vibrant and lasting faith in their children.
