Your Kids Are An ASSET On Mission (Not A Burden!) Here's How...

You're busy. You have young kids. You feel like you're barely keeping your head above water most days. How in the world are you supposed to fulfill the Great Commission as a family? This is the question that keeps so many Christian families stuck in survival mode, never stepping into the missional calling God has for them. Mark and Michelle Tiderman have cracked the code on this. With 4 kids ranging from 10 to 18, they've built a family culture where mission isn't an add-on, it's integrated into everything they do. And the best part? Their approach is so practical and accessible that ANY family can start implementing it today. In this episode, Mark and Michelle share how they've coached youth sports, served their neighbors, hosted open dinners, and built deep gospel conversations with people in their community, all while raising their kids to see mission as a normal part of life. You'll learn why your kids are actually an ASSET to your mission (not a liability), how to transition from serving people to sharing the gospel with them, and why focusing on faithfulness over impact changes everything. If you've been wondering what your family team is actually supposed to DO, this episode will give you the clarity and practical steps you need.
