Invest in what matters most: Your marriage. Your family. Your legacy.

This May, Focus on the Family invites you to step into something deeply meaningful – parenting and marriage events hosted by Hettie and Louis Brittz, a couple who don’t just teach family life, but live it with authenticity, joy, and faith. Married for 33 years, Hettie and Louis bring a rare blend of wisdom, warmth, and real-world experience. They know the beauty and the battle of marriage. They understand the weight parents carry in every season – from raising young children to navigating adult relationships and becoming grandparents. And they have a gift for helping people rediscover God’s design for family in a way that feels hopeful, practical, and deeply encouraging.

Why attend? Because this isn’t theory – it’s lived!

Hettie is a trusted voice in Christian parenting worldwide. Through Evergreen Parenting and her acclaimed tree-type model, she equips parents to understand their children’s God-given design and parent with clarity, confidence, and grace. Her teaching is rich, relatable, and anchored in Biblical truth – offering tools you can actually use in everyday family life.

Louis brings the heart of a worship pastor and the creativity of a global worship leader. With decades of ministry experience across continents, he speaks powerfully into marriage, identity, and purpose – helping couples reconnect not just with each other, but with God’s bigger vision for their lives together.
Together, they create spaces that feel safe, honest, and full of hope – where couples are refreshed, parents are equipped, and families are reminded that transformation is possible, no matter the season they’re in.

Hosted by Focus on the Family, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping families thrive according to God’s design, these events are an invitation to pause, realign, and build stronger foundations – rooted in faith, love, and Biblical values.

This is for you, if you’re longing for:

  • A stronger, healthier marriage
  • Fresh perspective and encouragement as a parent
  • Practical tools grounded in Scripture
  • A renewed sense of purpose for your family

Join Hettie and Louis Brittz this May – and be inspired, equipped, and reminded that God is deeply invested in your family’s story.
