Presenter: Joey Dean, Associate Pastor of Young Adult Ministries at Stonebriar Community Church
In his book Family Discipleship, Matt Chandler writes, “Your faith is your children’s best possible inheritance. Pass it on to them as often and thoroughly as you can.” Discipleship is the process of passing along our faith and helping our children grow into everything God desires them to be. In this breakout, we will learn a simple and approachable model of discipleship, helping us to better understand where we are spiritually and what steps need to be taken in order to grow. We will discuss tools that equip us to grow spiritually as we pour into our children, which helps unlock the transformative power of creating a discipleship movement within our homes.
