 9-Week Parenting on Purpose Video Series


by Dr. Bob Barnes


We all know that children don't come with instruction manuals, and with today's barrage of seemingly opposing information and uncharted societal issues, parenting can seem overwhelming. The 9-week Parenting on Purpose Video Series seeks to help parents make sense of all the information through proven and practical parenting solutions created by Dr. Bob Barnes. Dr. Barnes has a doctorate in counseling and received his education at Maryville College and Florida Atlantic University.

Voices of the Village



Wisdom is defined as the ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. "Voices of the Village" is utilized to showcase wisdom from wise and wonderful parents.

Read an E-Book Week


March 2nd-8th is "Read an E-Book Week." Our founder, Dr. Latina Lightbourne Newsome, has just completed the audiobook for "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins and she recommends we should all read/listen to it as well. Join the Cleft of the Rock Foundation Family during this week and indulge in this e-book!


Episode 1: Rebuilding Your Village Podcast

 If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with where you are, the problem isn't you. The problem is the power you give to other people. Two simple words—Let Them—will set you free. Free from the opinions, drama, and judgments of others. Free from the exhausting cycle of trying to manage everything and everyone around you. The Let Them Theory puts the power to create a life you love back in your hands—and this book will show you exactly how to do it.

Movie of the Month

The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.

Support Sessions


Attention POP Alumni - We are committed to supporting each person/family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it's challenging to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. The good news is that we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS). Simply reply to this email to schedule your session today.

Calling All Volunteers

Cleft of the Rock is looking forward to even greater things in the coming year. We have been able to accomplish a lot over a short five-year period with the help of volunteers just like you! We are growing! Grow with us! Helping doesn't have to be complicated. Just use what you know how to do to help. That's called volunteering! We are always in need of new volunteers and would greatly appreciate your time in any way that you can contribute. If you have teenagers who need hours for school, any time they volunteer with us can count towards their goal...even virtually.


Volunteer today. Click on the link below to fill out the form, and we will contact you:
