Living Stones International Inc.

What Living Stones International Inc. does

Living Stones International, Inc. (LSI) is a faith-based, non-profit family outreach organization founded in 2007 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, operating with a six-person team. Its mission is strengthening and building healthy relationships among family members, and its operations center on two flagship programs: The Stone Builders Hour, a faith talk show hosted by Pastor Gary and Elder Josephine (JC) Montgomery and distributed as both a radio broadcast and a podcast, and the Parents Engaged for Life Program, an eight-week curriculum that bundles the certified 24/7 Dad fatherhood module (licensed through the National Fatherhood Institute), Mom as Gateway, Married for Life, and short-form Parenting Snippets delivered via social media.

The underlying "technology" is not a software product but a content-and-curriculum distribution model: faith-based and evidence-informed parenting/fatherhood content is produced in-house and delivered through traditional radio, multi-platform podcast distribution (iHeart, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, SoundCloud, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, TuneIn), social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube), in-person certified instruction, and interactive online meetings. The organization does not maintain a proprietary technology platform, app, API, or software product, and holds no patents or trademarks in the source data.

Living Stones is funded entirely through tax-deductible donations (PayPal, Cash App tag $Lstones51, and real estate or other endowments) and through underwriting-style sponsorships of The Stone Builders Hour. Its customer base consists of individual parents, fathers, and married couples reached via community referrals, radio/podcast listenership, and community partnerships. No formal pricing exists, no commercial revenue contracts are disclosed, and no enterprise customers, institutional funders, or parent company are identified in the source material.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Focus on the Family: Focus on the Family is a much larger, established faith-based family organization offering parenting resources, marriage content, and broadcast programming. While it covers a similar mission space to Living Stones, it operates at national scale with a broader portfolio that includes advocacy, publishing, and counseling — making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct niche competitor.
• Catholic Charities USA: Catholic Charities USA is a large faith-based social services network offering family support, parenting programs, and marriage enrichment through local agencies. While much larger and broader in scope, it provides comparable faith-based family-strengthening services and represents a broad incumbent in this space.

Direct peers

• National Fatherhood Initiative: National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) is the originator of the evidence-based 24/7 Dad fatherhood program that Living Stones International is certified to facilitate. Both organizations focus on father-engagement programming, parenting skills, and family strengthening, making NFI the closest programmatic peer in the fatherhood space.
• The National Center for Fathering: The National Center for Fathering is a faith-informed nonprofit focused on equipping fathers through training, events, and resources. It is a direct peer to Living Stones' fatherhood programming, with a similar evidence-and-values approach to father engagement.
• Promise Keepers: Promise Keepers is a faith-based men's ministry that mobilizes fathers and husbands through conferences, men's programming, and resources for spiritual leadership in the family. It overlaps with Living Stones' fatherhood-engagement mission and faith-based delivery model.
• Marriage Today: Marriage Today is a faith-based marriage and family ministry delivering marriage-strengthening curricula, conferences, and broadcast content. Its Married for Life-style programming and faith-grounded approach make it a direct mission peer to Living Stones' Married for Life curriculum.
• MOPS International: MOPS International (Mothers of Preschoolers) supports mothers and parents through community-based groups, parenting curricula, and family-engagement programming. Like Living Stones, it focuses on equipping parents with relationship and parenting skills, though its primary persona is mothers rather than fathers.
• FamilyLife: FamilyLife is a faith-based marriage and family ministry that delivers marriage-strengthening curricula, parenting resources, and radio/podcast content (e.g., the FamilyLife Today radio broadcast). Like Living Stones, it combines faith-based messaging with structured relationship and parenting curricula across broadcast and in-person channels.

Others

• Family Research Council: Family Research Council is a faith-based policy and research organization focused on family issues, including marriage, parenting, and fatherhood. While it is primarily advocacy/research rather than direct service delivery, it operates in the same faith-and-family mission space as Living Stones.
• The Barna Group: The Barna Group is a research and insights organization focused on faith and culture, including parenting, family, and church trends. While it does not deliver direct family services, it is an adjacent ecosystem participant whose research informs the same faith-based family programming space Living Stones operates in.
