Bring Dr. John Trent to Your Community!
Thank you for your interest in bringing one of Dr. John Trent’s seminars to your church and community. More information follows about the exciting seminars with Dr. John Trent. We truly believe that there is more openness and a greater need for practical, biblical messages on building strong families more than ever before. We’re glad you’re considering becoming a rally point for strengthening families in your community. Strengthening families is the most powerful way we know to strengthen our churches and country.
At StrongFamilies®, we’re committed to providing biblical life-skills that couples, singles, single-parents, and seniors need to grow closer to their loved ones and to our Lord.
Dr. Trent was recently asked, “What do you hope audiences will take away from your presentation?”
Here is his response.
“I often talk about a verse in the Old Testament that sets a choice before each person, every day. That choice is "life or death, the blessing or the curse." The word "life" literally means to "movement towards someone" while the word "death" means "stepping back into isolation, separation." In other words, we have a choice each day to step towards our loved ones and add "life" to our relationships -- or to step away and see our relationship start dying inside. My talks and conferences are filled with small, specific, positive, biblical ways of helping people actively take steps towards their loved ones and their Lord -- even if they're like me and came from a background of subtraction and hurt.”
Dr. Trent speaks across the country at Fundraisers, Corporate Events, and a variety of Church and School Events as well. We’re praying for you as you consider hosting a StrongFamilies® seminar or bringing Dr. Trent to speak at your event!

Strong Families in Stressful Times™ Seminar
Discover life-skills to help build a strong family in the stressful times we face today. This seminar is available in two different seminar formats to best meet your specific needs. Our two most common seminar variations are the: 3 Hour Seminar, or a Full-Day Seminar. However, we are able to customize the material and the time length to fit with the type of event you are planning.
3 Hour Seminar Format:
Dr. Trent opens with a challenging, yet encouraging message that addresses head-on the heartache many men and women bring with them to the seminar. Many people today feel like they’ve either failed their family in some way, or come from a family that failed them (or both). Perhaps they came from a broken or hurtful home. They’ve experienced a broken marriage, or are suffering the heartache of a prodigal son or daughter in the present. They have spent far too much time at work, or failed to follow through on promises so many times that their spouse or children have lost any hope of real change.
Using powerful “pictures” and stories, each person is challenged to realize that no matter how stressed out their marriage, family or friendships – God’s love – can provide a “light for their path” and help them create a much needed “home of light” in a darkening world.
After this time of reflection and letting go of hurts, people are ready to hear about what they can do, instead of feeling badly about what they haven’t done.
The next extended session shares four keys to building a strong family in stressful times. These are:
- Discovering and affirming their own and their loved ones strengths;
- Making every effort to restore broken relationships and to “untie the knots” caused by anger;
- Strengthening their faith by “showing” their kids God’s love in five minute “pictures” as well as praying together as couples or singles;
- Having a follow-up plan when they get home from the conference can dramatically light up their home.
Full-Day Seminar Format:
The full-day seminar typically includes a short morning and afternoon break as well as a lunch hour.
The full-day seminar includes all the elements of the 3 Hour Seminar event plus additional “pictures of a strong family” as presented by Dr. Trent. Additional sessions include:
- Understanding how to be truly “present” in your loves ones life;
- Parenting from your strengths! Understanding your own God-given strengths and how to blend differences and build greater closeness in your home.
- How parents can meet a crucial need in their child’s life by giving him or her their “blessing.”
- Gain biblical tools to help couples increase their communication, help them keep “issues” from turning into arguments.
- Learn how to apply The 2 Degree Difference to families actually make short and long term positive changes.
