Are you ready to be the catalyst to make God-honoring ripples in your family and home?

Overview

Family. Home. Words that deeply impact us. Family is a non-negotiable core to who we are and who we cherish. We will always have home, defined differently by all of us. And what do we do in the busyness of our lives? We become complacent and lose the fact that both family and home, truly blessings from God, deserve our fresh eyes and action steps.

Ripples. Legacy. You will never look at your home and family in the same way after reading Family Prayer Ripples: A Journal of Heart & Home. Not only will you experience the depth of praying for your family and home, you will also physically walk through five interactive partnerships with Jesus that will allow you to visually capture your desires to create family ripples.

PARTnership 1: Ripple Reflections teaches you how to embrace events and relationships in your past so that you recognize how they equipped you for the future in order to partner with Jesus.

PARTnership 2: Blueprints teaches you how to analyze the rooms in your home so that you may make them more practical, joy-filled, and God-honoring.

PARTnership 3: The Walk-Thru guides you on a prayer walk through each room in your home with the goal of dedicating your entire living space to the One who provided it for your family.

PARTnership 4: The Legacy Punch List provides 31 prayer topics to re-visit each month prompting you to talk to Jesus about the topics that matter most to your family. (Click on the Resources tab to download your FREE Legacy Punch List printable!)

PARTnership 5: Own it! provides a plan to maintain and maximize what you have learned in Family Prayer Ripples.

– Sibyl Towner, Co-Author of Listen to My Life (www.onelifemaps.com), Co-Director of The Springs Retreat Center (thespringsindiana.org)

“If you have been longing for a seasoned mother, wife, and Christ-follower to take you under wing, that is what you will find in Family Prayer Ripples. With beauty, depth, and personal stories, Debbie Briggs invites you to live an intentional, prayer-filled life. This was a timely read for me, and is a wonderful resource for women of all ages.”

– Jessie Minassian, blogger at LifeLoveandGod.com, and author of four books including Family: How to Love Yours (and Help Them Like You Back)

“I am so touched by the journey ‘Family Ripples’ took me on. The stories and examples Debbie shares immediately opened my heart to realize this is a woman who loves the Lord and loves her family. She gives an honest and realistic evaluation of the Christian life. Life is full of blessings and can also be filled with heartache. Yet through all the circumstances of life she trusts the Lord, and He has not failed her. Mothers will be encouraged by her honest examples of the joys and challenges of parenting! Grandmothers will learn the blessed influence they can have on the lives of future generations.”

– Gay Williams, Counselor, Ministry Coach, Fire Chaplain, Mom of 4 boys

“Debbie has written a unique and faith filled ‘one of a kind’ book for all women who are concerned about things they can’t control. You’ll be encouraged by her raw authenticity, inspired by her godly example and challenged as you pray and apply the truth she presents. The prayers she has written and the sections for courageously processing and journaling will become invaluable to all who read and use this practical guide.”

– Susan Willard, entrepreneur and business owner and speaker on the FamilyLife Weekend to Remember Marriage Conference team. She and her husband, Chris have been married over 30 years and have 3 adult children.

“Reading Debbie’s book, I felt like a welcome, treasured guest in the home of her life. Because I know her ‘Colorado Briggs’, I have seen the amazing ripples of Debbie’s answered prayers, but now, through this book, I see the blueprint of her prayers themselves. What a gift! This beautiful book is a must read for every mother and one that I will revisit time and time again.”

– Tosha Lamdin Williams, co-founder, Vanguard Church of Colorado Springs and co-author of Real Marriage: Where Fantasy Meets Reality

“Debbie Briggs is not just a great articulator of what it takes to faithfully love your family through intentional prayer; she authentically lives her message, too. I know this because I’m one of her sons. You may be tempted to think that I strongly recommend this book simply because she’s my mom. But read this book and you’ll realize for yourself why I recommend it so wholeheartedly.”

– J.R. Briggs. Debbie’s son. Pastor. Founder of Kairos Partnerships. Author of Fail: Finding Hope and Grace in the Midst of Ministry Failure

“My Mom has shaped my faith, my life, my parenting and my prayers in every way imaginable. She had no idea she was raising two pastors. Each week her prayers still sustain me, my wife and my kids. I know I’m a tad bit partial, but her words in Family Prayer Ripples will carve deep paths in your life.”

– Alan Briggs, Debbie’s son. Pastor. Ministry Coach. Author of Staying is the New Going and Everyone’s A Genius

Design Team Testimonials

Although the Family Prayer Ripples Design Team is made up of a teacher, a nurse, an occupational therapist, stay-at home moms, business owners, a graphic designer, a university educational advisor, ministry heads in a mega-church – they would prefer to be known for their first loves: their extreme passion for Jesus, followed by an intense love for their families and homes. My utmost love and respect go out to these ladies who for seven weeks, in the intimate setting of my family room, spoke into the final stages of Ripples. As for Kristen Utley… no words. Kristen’s talents of graphics and organizational skillset allowed us to work together as intentional Kingdom-builders.

Humbled to be His,

Debbie

“Debbie has been an incredible example of how to live out a life of a Christian wife, mother and friend. I have been blessed to learn from her loving example through her stories and prayers through this amazing journal. During your journey through Family Prayer Ripples, I know your life will be touched and impacted through the life that Debbie has lived and how she has prayed that God will be the center of your family as well.”

– Shanna, mother of three

“Debbie Briggs has written an engaging book revealing her wisdom gained from the Lord and personal life experiences. Her book is an invitation into a deeper relationship with Jesus. She provides space to experience praying to the Father while thinking of your hopes and dreams for your family and neighbors in a fresh creative way. It is a challenging adventure with the potential to influence those you love for generations to come and to be personally transformed in your mind and heart. Spiritual growth and discipleship are at the heart of this journal. Enjoy!”

– Christy, mom of two

“At a time when my family was about to move into a new home, Debbie taught me the importance of praying for each room in our new home with a purpose. Inviting God into each room, each conversation, and each interaction has allowed us to partner with Him to work in my family in ways I could not have imagined! I can’t wait to share this with my family and friends!”

– Kristie, mom of three

“As a mother, it is my deepest desire that my children love Jesus with total abandon and will invite others to do the same. With wisdom and grace, Debbie lovingly points to the One who can turn us all into ripplemakers for generations to come.”

– Hayley, mother of two

“My prayers for my husband and children used to be generic in content and most times would be geared towards something currently going on in our lives. This study has given my prayers a direction – prayers that will last beyond my lifetime . . . truly the best gift I can give my family.”

– Jennifer, mom of three

“Debbie Briggs and her husband have been an amazing influence on us, our marriage and our prayer life – helping us to cultivate a habit of praying for our children’s well-being, development and even their future spouses. Praying through our home has allowed us to witness God’s blessings in very specific aspects of our lives by giving us a focus on the activities that occur in each room and how God influences them through prayer.”

– Cristina and Jordan, parents of three

“Family Prayer Ripples is an amazing tool that inspires me to be intentional about praying for my most important ministry – my home and family. It is unlike any other resource out there. No matter how big or small your home, Debbie has truly captured a unique and beautiful technique of praying through each and every space.”

– Kandis, wife and mom of three (not pictured)

“It has been an unbelievable privilege and journey being a part of making Debbie’s dream for this book come to life. I knew from the beginning that God was both in it and, undoubtedly, calling me to it. I will forever be grateful to have been a part of this Kingdom work.”

– Kristen Utley, Graphic & Book Designer

About Debbie

Debbie Briggs has been an educator in public and private education for over forty years as both teacher and Dean of Faculty. She blends both visual and kinesthetic learning styles in her unique teaching of partnerships to encourage readers to become actively involved in their learning so that information is easily processed and retained.

Debbie is married to Dave Briggs, who leads the financial ministry at Central Christian Church in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Dave speaks and partners with churches both locally and nationally with the message of biblical stewardship. She and her husband have two sons, both pastors, authors and founders of organizations who have passions to multiply the church and mentor and grow the hearts of pastors. Her daughters-in-law work for organizations that promote foster care, adoption, and the growth of young lives to impact their communities. Debbie states that she learns more from her children and six grandchildren than they learn from her, as they bring God stories into the hearts of their family and to others.

Debbie loves to begin her day biking at sunrise to witness the majestic orange sky as the backdrop to the rugged Arizona mountains. Quite often you will find her in or around water, preferably with family. For years, she has actively practiced and taught the principles from Family Prayer Ripples and has a deep passion to pass them on so that the busyness of life does not squeeze out the opportunities to create lasting godly generational ripples.
