Who We are
We’re Kari Trent Stageberg and Dr. John Trent, a father-daughter team on a mission to help you strengthen your faith, deepen your relationships, and create a legacy of blessing that impacts generations.
Our journey hasn’t been perfect. Like most families, we’ve faced deep struggles and pain. But, through God’s grace, we’ve walked the path from “broken to blessed.” And we know firsthand that healing and restoration are possible through Christ.
No matter where you are in your journey, we believe that redemption and transformation are possible for you and your family. And we’re here to walk with you. With faith-based resources, tools, and coaching, we provide practical solutions for strengthening the most important relationships in your life.
At StrongFamilies, we offer biblically-based resources, practical tools, and coaching services to help you strengthen your faith, build deeper emotional connections, and create lasting bonds with your family. Our five core services are designed to address the most important aspects of relationships (including your relationship with the Lord and yourself):
We All Start From Broken to Blessed
Your past doesn’t have to define your future. No matter where your journey has taken you, healing, and a future filled with God’s love and blessing is possible. And it begins with Jesus.
Build Loving Attachment Bonds With The Blessing
The Blessing provides a powerful, biblical, and practical way to ensure your loved ones know they are deeply valued, chosen, and loved unconditionally.
Understand And Value Your Own and Other’s Strengths
With Lions, Otters, Golden Retrievers, and Beavers, you’ll learn to value differences, improve your communication, resolve conflict, and build thriving, joy-filled relationships.
Whether you’re struggling with communication in your marriage, feeling disconnected from your children, or wanting to grow in your faith, we are here to help you. With resources, coaching, and God’s grace, you can move from frustration to joy. From disconnection to unity. And from broken to blessed.

Meet The Team
Kari Trent Stageberg
President
Working at StrongFamilies is deeply personal to me. Not only do I have the blessing of working alongside my dad, Dr. John Trent, but I’ve also experienced the power of our resources firsthand.
At 20, I walked away from faith and family and found myself trapped in an abusive relationship. But God rescued me, and through His grace, I surrendered my life to Christ. He began healing my heart and restoring my family, transforming our lives in ways I never thought possible.
I’m now passionate about helping others experience that same redemption and healing—no matter what decisions they’ve made or what life has thrown at them. Through Jesus, and aided by resources like The Blessing, LifeMapping, and coaching, I believe everyone can find their purpose and experience healing.
I’m blessed to have been able to write, speak, and train all over the country. But my biggest blessing is being married to my incredible husband, Joey, and being a mom to our two amazing sons.
Dr. John Trent
Founder
Every morning, I wake up excited about the opportunity to help people build stronger relationships and deepen their faith. I get to do this alongside my oldest-daughter, Kari, and I couldn’t be more thankful.
Growing up in a single-parent home, I know what it’s like to search for something more. When I found Jesus, everything changed. I discovered The Blessing—the biblical foundation for creating lasting relationships—and it became the foundation of my work. Through The Blessing, I’ve been able to help thousands of families heal and experience deep connection.
Through God’s grace, I’ve been able to create other incredible tools as well like: The Animal Personality Test (Lion, Otter, Golden Retriever, and Beaver), and LifeMapping.
While I’ve been honored to write, speak, and train all over the world, my biggest honor is being married to my wife of almost 50 years, Cindy, being a dad to my two daughters (and bonus dad to their husbands), and a grandfather to my four incredible grandkids.
