“We appreciated the genuine and honest approach Mark presented in parenting teens in today’s culture. The weekend conference gave us a sense of renewed hope to face the challenges ahead and to trust in the Lord to change our boys’ hearts towards Him. We both recognized that it was us as a couple that first needed to change and as we shared this with our sons one of them said, “Hey, I like this conference. Maybe you should go again!” Thanks for everything — it was a real help for us in many ways. It was a huge blessing.”

"I can't even begin to tell you how loved and cared for we felt by all of the staff. Truly you all are in our hearts and the ministry even more so. We do feel some hope for our relationship with our oldest son."

“Mark’s unique ability to connect with parents who are frustrated and defeated is truly a gift. Mark has his hand on the pulse of this generation of young people and offers biblical insight, godly counsel and practical steps to help parents and leaders alike. Families have been healed and lives have been changed as a result of his faithful witness and testimony. Mark is the real deal and will give you a new perspective when it comes to parenthood.”

I cannot thank you and everyone at Heartlight enough for our experience last weekend. Not only do we feel we now have some tools to start using to help our daughter, but we also feel that talking through things together, with other parents, and counselors helped strengthen our marriage. And, of course, it's hard not to love Mark Gregston.

"My husband and I attended this retreat and it changed our lives and the lives of our children. Things didn’t get perfect, but they did change and our family is stronger for it. This program–wow, tears just filled my eyes–not only repaired our relationships with our kids but with each other as well. We will forever be grateful that God lead us to Heartlight."
