Hello, Forest Home Families!

We are Intentional. It’s Nice to meet you!

At Intentional Parents, we resource parents with biblical hope and practical help so you can lead your family well, one intentional step at a time.

In a world filled with increasing noise and pressure, most of us wonder if we’re leading our family well. The fear of falling short and the longing for deeper relationships often leave us feeling isolated.

But no parent or couple was ever designed to navigate parenthood alone.

Through faith-driven resources, transformational events, and a globally recognized podcast, we create spaces where parents can experience spiritual formation and lead their families into a deeper understanding of faith, all while navigating real-life challenges with confidence.

Discover a clear path forward that strengthens your faith, deepens your relationships, and equips you to lead your family well.

— Brook + Elizabeth Mosser and Phil + Diane Comer

 

Intentional Resources to Check Out

The Intentional Parents Podcast

Each week, we invite you into a conversation about biblical formation on the Intentional Parents Podcast — offering wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for raising passionate Jesus followers. As an intergenerational team that is also family, we bridge the perspectives of different life stages, drawing from both decades-long experience and fresh insight on the topics of parenting and marriage. From vulnerable Q+R sessions to insightful guest interviews, we explore real-life stories of both steady formation and radical transformation — unpacking how God is shaping our lives and the lives of those around us.

The Intentional Film Series

We created a 9-episode film series to help parents in their God-given task of raising and making disciples of their children. Our hope is to give parents the tools we couldn’t find — yet so desperately needed — when we first set out to raise our own kids in the way of Jesus. You can access the series instantly by purchasing a digital download or order the digital download box, which includes a copy of our book Raising Passionate Jesus Followers, a film series notebook, a prayer journal, and more.

Motherhood Retreat 2025

This fall, we’re hosting the Intentional Motherhood Retreat 2025 in Portland, Oregon from October 23-25! This weekend will not be focused on tips and tricks for how to be a better mom. Instead, we are going to press into how motherhood gently leads us to spiritual formation, how relationships are essential for the journey, and how our connection with God spills over to our connection with our families.

The retreat is for women who desire to be mothers some day, all the way to grandmothers, and everyone in between — mothers of babies, toddlers, young children, teenagers, and adult children. This intergenerational gathering is a chance for all ages and stages of mothers to learn from one another, encourage each other, and simply be together. Because motherhood isn’t meant to be done alone.

 
 
 

Raising Passionate Jesus Followers

Like all new parents, Phil and Diane Comer were intimidated and unsure about how to take on the task of spiritually training their young children. But now, with all four of their children grown and establishing their own households of faith, they have embarked on a quest to help the next generation of parents raise passionate Jesus followers. Drawing on years of pastoral counseling, teaching, leading, and decades of watching families from the perspective of pastors and leaders in ministry, Phil and Diane instruct, guide, encourage, and offer hope and practical help to Christian parents.

Raising Passionate Jesus Followers is a manual full of practical, biblically based, and time-tested guidelines that parents will be able to turn to again and again through every stage of their children's development.
