  • A must have

    I bought Dr Watson’s book about a year ago and just picked up on her podcast.......I know I’m a bit slow when it comes to technology, but this is a powerful tool and a must have addition to the collection. It expounds on the book and is so refreshing to be able to continue the journey with my daughters after reading the book. Thank you Dr. Watson!

All Stressed Up and Everywhere to Go (Interview with Gaylyn Williams)
Q: What are the first foundations you want dads to understand before they focus on the last step of fixing their eyes on Jesus?

All Stressed Up and Everywhere to Go (Interview with Gaylyn Williams)
Q: How did your book title All Stressed Up come to reflect the work you do with families?
