Built for Real Parents,
Real Conversations
Anchored gives you a simple, flexible framework to intentionally disciple your teen—no matter where you're starting from.
The Anchored Framework
Three books. Three developmental stages. One comprehensive approach that meets your teen exactly where they are.
Launch
Ages 12-14
Building the Foundation
The Launch stage focuses on establishing core beliefs and opening up communication. It's about creating a safe space for questions and starting conversations that will deepen over time.
Perfect for early teens who are beginning to form their own beliefs and need guidance navigating new social dynamics, emotions, and faith questions.
Navigate
Ages 14-16
Going Deeper
The Navigate stage takes conversations deeper, addressing more complex questions and real-world challenges. It's about equipping teens to think critically and apply biblical wisdom to everyday situations.
Ideal for mid-teens who are facing increased independence, peer pressure, dating questions, and need tools to navigate their expanding world.
Anchor
Ages 16-18+
Ready for Adulthood
The Anchor stage prepares teens for life beyond home. It addresses college, career, relationships, and how to maintain faith in a rapidly changing world with confidence and conviction.
Essential for older teens preparing to leave home, face new freedoms, and need to solidify their beliefs before stepping into adulthood.
48 Topics Organized by Focus Area
Every topic appears in all three books, but the content evolves to match your teen's developmental stage and real-world needs.

Make It Work for Your Family
There's no “right way” to use Anchored. Choose the approach that fits your schedule, your teen's personality, and your family's rhythm.
| Approach | Best For |
|---|---|
| Weekly Rhythm | Families who want consistent, structured time together |
| As-Needed | When a specific issue or question comes up in real life |
| Car Conversations | Busy families who do life on the go |
| Deep Dives | Taking your time to thoroughly explore a single topic |
| Mix & Match | Combining approaches based on the season you're in |
Why This Matters Now
The teen years are critical. Your child is forming beliefs about God, identity, relationships, and the world that will shape the rest of their life.
But between busy schedules, cultural pressures, and the digital world, it's easy to let these years slip by without the intentional conversations they need.
Anchored helps you make the most of the time you have—starting today.
The Biblical Foundation
“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
— Deuteronomy 6:6-7
You don't have to be a perfect parent to disciple your teen.
You just have to start.
