The Connection: Where Hearts Meet came from the joint dream of Elizabeth Styffe and Karyn Purvis.
In 2012, they created an interactive, small group, facilitated study program based around 13 videos and a workbook. The Connection: Where Hearts Meet is based on Bible truths and research-based interventions. Though designed as a way for the church to help adopted and foster kids/families, it can bring healing to all people.In 2022, Elizabeth created an abridged version of the workbook for zoom classes.
Karyn Purvis was the Reese-Jones Director and co-founder of the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX., the co-creator of Trust-Based Relational Intervention® and co-author of a best-selling book The Connected Child by Karyn Purvis and David R. Cross. www.child.tcu.edu
Elizabeth Styffe co-founded the Global Orphan Care Initiatives with Kay Warren at Saddleback Church. Click Here to get to know Elizabeth.

The Out-Of-Sync Child by Carol Stock Kranowitz (book)
"If your feet are still planted on this earth, you're still in the journey of becoming glorious to increasing glory. And so, I want to encourage each of you to begin a journey, the journey that scripture tells us will lead us to healing. And interestingly, in the last 30 years, science caught up." -Karyn Purvis, Session 13
