31st August 2025: Sunday Service; Family Discipleship. By PBC Family Pastor, Phelista Kamau

Send us Fan MailThe fabric of family life is unraveling at an alarming rate across Africa, prompting God Himself to intervene with a powerful solution. Pastor Felista delivers a stirring message pinpointing family discipleship as the divine antidote for the toxins destroying our homes today.Drawing from compelling statistics, she reveals that 83% of people who come to Christ do so between ages 4-14, when children are still under parental authority. Yet many Christian parents have outsourced their children's spiritual formation, missing this critical window of opportunity. With Africa's youth population approaching 680 million—nearly half the continent's people—the stakes couldn't be higher."We need to apologize to the young people that we didn't pass the faith," Pastor Felista confesses, addressing the generational gap where passionate faith has been replaced by shallow religiosity. Many parents, pursuing demanding careers, have provided financially while creating spiritually orphaned children. The consequences are devastating: rising divorce rates, moral confusion, and young people declaring "marriage is a scam."The solution lies in reclaiming the family altar—creating spaces where authentic faith is modeled daily through Scripture, prayer, and honest conversation. Family discipleship means explaining not just what we believe, but why, equipping children to stand firm when their faith is challenged in university or the workplace.As the shofar sounds seven times, it announces a prophetic reset for families entering September—the ninth month symbolizing new birth. This isn't merely about behavior modification but spiritual transformation, uprooting destructive patterns and planting God's design for family life.Whether your family seems beyond repair or you're simply sensing the need for realignment, this message offers hope. Like a tree that sprouts again at the scent of water (Job 14:7), even the most broken family can experience supernatural restoration through intentional discipleship.Ready to reset your family according to God's blueprint?
