Let's Parent on Purpose

Ep. 229 : Your Family Is Your Mission Field!

As we begin a series highlighting families that are on mission to impact their world for the sake of Jesus, we want to start with the reminder that YOUR family is your first and greatest mission field! Jay walks through Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:18-20 and applies it to family life. He then highlights the following advice for “teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you”: lead yourself well, learn to apply the gospel to the trials and challenges of life, lean into the power of conversations vs. devotions, be intentional with a few routines, let your children see you struggle, doubt, and repent.
