Intentional Family Discipleship in Your Church (feat. Jay Austin)
“Parents are meant to be the primary discipler of their children.”
Jay Austin is preaching his mantra in this episode: the church's role is equipping parents to be the primary spiritual leaders in their children's lives. He encourages us with personal experiences and strategies, focusing on milestones, mentoring, and moments to guide children from birth to adulthood. Learn practical steps to integrate faith into everyday life, and be empowered to foster a loving relationship with God and navigate modern challenges such as technology and identity with biblical wisdom.
