Relationships between aging parents and adult children can grow complicated as careers, marriage, grandchildren, retirement, health changes, caregiving, independence, and old wounds reshape family life. Megan will explore how both generations can see one another more clearly without reducing conflict to the question of who is right.

Drawing from her own lived experience, Megan will share practical communication tools, reflection questions, and a biblical framework for navigating changing family relationships with greater understanding and grace.

God does not waste broken stories
What struggle can you bring before God today and trust Him to shape into something beautiful?

Brokenness can make us feel defined by sin, struggle, or the painful parts of our story. In tonight's presentation, Kyle will reflect on the hope found in Godโ€™s transforming grace: He does not abandon us in our pain, but has redeemed it for a higher purpose. As he shares experiences from his years in Thailand, Kyle invites attendees to see their lives through the lens of Godโ€™s faithfulness. Together, we will consider how God can bring beauty from what feels broken and use our stories as part of His mission in the world.

About The Speaker
Kyle Tumberg is the Director of Recruitment for Adventist Frontier Missions and holds a Master of Ministry degree. He is passionate about helping others experience the joy of becoming involved in Godโ€™s end-time mission to the world. Kyle spent 10 years church planting in Thailand, where he was part of a team that helped establish a church in an unreached city. His cross-cultural ministry experience and personal testimony inform his approachable perspective on faith, brokenness, and Godโ€™s redeeming work. Kyle is married and has two daughters. Outside of ministry, he enjoys traveling and spending time outdoors.

The anxiety, pressure, conflict, and the disconnection you keep experiencing may be learned patterns your mind and heart have practiced for years.

Many of us spend our lives reacting without realizing what is driving those reactions:
Why do certain conflicts keep happening?
Why does anxiety take over even when we know weโ€™re safe?
Why do we withdraw, strive, people-please, or try to control when we feel pressure?

Sometimes what looks like a problem on the surface is connected to something much deeper: our beliefs about ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜†, ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ต.

What happens when:
โœจ Reaction becomes intentional choice
โœจ Anxiety gives way to greater mind-heart coherence
โœจ Biblical truth begins reshaping the patterns underneath our behavior

Ken Knoechel is a licensed professional counselor in Ohio and Tennessee and the founder of Desirable Mind coaching. As a therapist and clinical Christian coach, he helps individuals and married couples break free from attachment patterns, reactivity, and anxiety by integrating biblical wisdom with an understanding of the nervous system, desire, and safety. His work is grounded in graduate training, psychiatric-hospital experience, and a deeply personal conviction: when we recognize what is shaping us beneath the surface, we can make choices that transform our relationship with ourselves, others, and God.
