What to Expect at Ready, Set, LEAP™

Ready, Set, LEAP™ is a three-hour, live workshop designed to equip you with practical tools for having meaningful conversations that matter with your kids.

Session 1: Ready

We’ll begin by exploring why conversations are so powerful. Why do they matter so much? Why are they needed now more than ever? And how can one conversation truly shape a child’s future? This opening session sets the foundation and reminds us of the incredible influence parents and caring adults carry.

Session 2: Set

Next, we’ll talk honestly about the obstacles that make tough conversations difficult. We’ll help you identify your role as a parent, better understand your child’s role, and clarify what belongs in your hands—and what needs to be surrendered to God. This session brings clarity, perspective, and relief.

Session 3: L.E.A.P.

In the final hour, we’ll teach the same L.E.A.P. conversation method TheHopeLine has used for over 30 years while working with students and young adults in crisis. This practical, step-by-step framework will give you confidence and direction when conversations feel uncertain or overwhelming.

A Comfortable, Encouraging Environment

Dress is casual.
Drinks and refreshments will be provided.
Breaks are scheduled between each session.
You will not be put on the spot, called on to speak, or expected to share personal stories.

The workshop is led by members of TheHopeLine team—experienced speakers who are also parents and who work daily with students and young adults in church, parachurch, and mental health ministries.

While we cover a lot of ground, the atmosphere is engaging, practical, and even fun. You’ll walk away with real tools for your parenting toolbox—and greater confidence for the conversations that matter most.
