Building A Strong Family: Growing a family culture that inspires greatness

Written by Phil Strong

Narrated by Phil Strong

Raising kids while keeping your family relationships strong isn’t easy.

When life throws you challenges, it makes things all the more difficult. Nothing can prepare you for the roller coaster ride of family, but knowing how to intentionally build into all aspects of family life can lay the pathway for a strong future.

Lana is a long term friend who has walked through many seasons with the Strong family. When asked about them, she says:

"I admire their intentionality. It is easy for family life to just happen, and we become merely reactive parents as a result. Phil and Kathy's ability to plan ahead in all aspects of their family, and to intentionally build into their marriage, their family, and their kids, is inspiring."

In this incredibly honest collection of stories the Strong family share real life learnings of establishing a family culture where everyone wins. The stories are sometimes raw, often funny and shared with meaningful honesty that is easy to relate to. 

Expect to laugh as well as cry when you listen to this book. You’re likely to see your own family situation in many of the stories. But most importantly, the stories are an inspiration to become intentional in building your own strong family. 

The story begins in 2009 when Phil and Kathy took their two kids, Jackson and Grace, overseas for a year. They called this their Strong Family Adventure but it was really about rebuilding their family. 

Phil and Kathy have a desire to help others by being open and honest about their journey. As published writers they both regularly inspire others. Phil’s first book, Becoming Money Wise, is a New Zealand best-seller and has helped thousands of families to take control of their money.
