Guest Bio: Dr. David and Amanda Erickson are the founders of Flourishing Homes & Families, a ministry that educates, empowers, and equips Christian parents to lead their families through parenting principles rooted in Jesus’ teachings. With David’s background in theology and Amanda’s love for child development, they’re passionate about helping parents find harmony at the intersection of Jesus-centered theology and modern neuroscience. David previously served as a pastor and spent fourteen years as a seminary theology professor. In 2023, he became president of Jacksonville College, where he guides the faculty and staff in preparing students to lead Jesus-centered lives that transform churches, communities, and the world. A former foster mom and pastor’s wife, Amanda is an artist with a free spirit and can often be found watercolor painting, sipping coffee on her front porch swing, making up silly songs for her two boys and dogs, and hiking the woods near their home on a little farm in East Texas. * Website: flourishinghomesandfamilies.com * Instagram: @flourishinghomesandfamilies * Facebook: flourishinghomesandfamilies Ready to dive in and learn more about the Framework?
