Hi, I’m Jen.
I offer support to strengthen the heart and hands of the special-needs parent through resources that will encourage and inspire hope.
“When we, as special-needs parents, feel tempted to give in or give up, Jen Forsthoff gives us page after page of Christ-centered encouragement and reminds us that ‘we must get ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and move forward.’ “
-Shauna Amick, Joni and Friends International Disability Center, Advocate for Sarah
“Jen beautifully unwraps the gift of what it means to be hand-selected by God to care for a special-needs child. While exposing the raw realities and tender truths of her own story, Jen’s biblical and hope-filled teachers continually point back to the Lord as the source of strength for every parent’s journey.”
- Becky Thompson, best selling author and speaker
“… this book will bring you an eternal perspective of parenting that will give you the fortitude, hope, and empathy you need as you journey out your day to day. You will also find an elevated perspective that will expand your heart and potentially make our world a better place.”
Jen Jones, author and speaker, Founder of Significant Conference, Advocate for Addie
Champion For Charlie: Rise Up and Advocate for Your Child
It’s time to rise up as the parent chosen to champion for your child. The calling to parent a special-needs child can make us feel weary and overwhelmed. We need the strength and enduring hope, only found in Christ, to equip us in our journey. Be inspired with biblical truths and practical help to advocate for your child as a champion!
Chosen For Charlie: When God Gifts You With a Special-Needs Child
In the journey of special-needs parenting, we need to know we are not alone. There is battle happening on the outside for our child, but also a battle within our hearts. We can take hold of Biblical truth to strengthen and encourage us in our faith. God has chosen us, and he will equip us to be the parent our child needs.
