Meet the Discussion Group Leaders

Cohort small groups are led by members of Rode Leadership and will take place after each live teaching session at the time you choose. Small Groups are designed to be a supportive, and confidential space where you can process what you're learning and receive encouragement.

What is The Parents of Young Children Cohort?

The Parents of Young Children Cohort is centered around three key components: Teaching, Q&A, and Small Groups.

Weekly Teaching

Weekly Teaching provides a rich opportunity to learn from trusted counselors and ministry leaders. Each session offers biblical wisdom, practical guidance, and encouragement tailored to the unique challenges of parenting.

Q&A

Each session will include dedicated time for Q&A, allowing participants to engage directly with that week’s featured teacher. This interactive time provides an opportunity to ask questions and gain deeper insight.

Discussion Groups

Get focused discussion on the topic from the most recent teaching, allowing for practical application and deeper reflection. Groups are about building a community of understanding and Christ-centered support, giving you space to breathe, reflect, and be encouraged.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Parents of Young Children Cohort?

The Parents of Young Children Cohort is an four-week virtual series designed to support, encourage, and equip counselors.

Each week, we’ll feature a live teaching from incredible speakers, followed by small group discussions led by hand-picked group leaders. This is a space to connect, grow, and be reminded that you are not alone in this journey.

When does the teaching session take place?

The teaching session runs from September 2 – 23, with weekly live sessions on Wednesdays from 1:00-2:00 PM EST. 

Can’t make it live? No worries! All sessions will be recorded and available to registered participants.

How do the discussion groups work?

Each participant will be in a small group facilitated by discussion group leaders. These groups will provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space for deeper discussion, prayer, and encouragement throughout the week.

What is the WhatsApp large group for?

In addition to your small group, you’ll also be added to a larger WhatsApp community with all cohort members. This is a space for sharing resources, encouragement, and updates throughout the four weeks. While the large group is more general, the small groups are designed for deeper connection and discussion.

Are there confidentiality rules in the groups?

Yes! Confidentiality is a top priority in both the large and small groups. What is shared in the small groups should stay within the group. We ask all participants to honor and respect each other’s privacy so that everyone feels safe to be open and vulnerable. Your cohort leader will send you a confidentiality form to sign. 

Who is this cohort for?

This cohort is for any parent of young children looking for encouragement, support, and community. No matter what your family looks like—whether you're in the baby and toddler stage, navigating the preschool years, or raising early elementary-age kids—you are welcome to join. This space is designed to meet you where you are, offering connection and guidance for the unique journey of raising little ones.

What if my group doesn’t fill up?

For a new group to be formed, there must be at least 4 participants committed to the same time slot. If your selected time does not fill up, we will give you alternative time options to choose from.

What if I want additional one-on-one support?

All cohort participants receive 10% off individual counseling through Anchored Virtual for 2026. If you’d like personal counseling sessions, you can book with one of their licensed, biblically grounded counselors at any time.

How much does it cost to join?

The cost to participate in the cohort is $275. This includes access to all eight live and recorded sessions, four small group discussions, a 2026 discount on continued counseling and the WhatsApp community.

How do I sign up?

Signing up is easy! Just click "Join the Cohort Now" anywhere on this page and follow the instructions. Once registered, you’ll receive an email with next steps, including details on your WhatsApp groups and the Zoom link for our live sessions.
