  • Maybe the best yet?

    This week’s episode with Dr. Albert Mohler might just be your best one yet, and that’s not intended as a sleight towards *any* other episode! It helps that I’m a fan of 99.759% of the things he says and the way he says them. Bravo to Ross & Matt!

  • The Timing Is Incredible!

    I think Awana may be tuned in to a very present need in today’s local churches. No great surprises here, given their track record of serving the local church!

  • If you love the church...

    This conversation is very important to those who love the church. The gospel we present to our children today will significantly affect the health of the church in 2050. The fearless future church will require Resilient Disciples of Jesus rooted in a culture of belonging, believing and becoming... we can provide that for our kids, but it will not happen if we are not intentional about it.

  • No Greater Calling…

    Great dialogue in the discussion of Child Discipleship. In my opinion, there is no greater calling than to raise up a generation of faith that is Resilient in a culture that is divided and growing increasingly hostile towards Christians. I am thankful to be a part of this conversation on making resilient disciples!
