Raising Disciples Together

Discipling in foster care is in many ways the rawest form of discipleship. It is messy, sacrificial, and imperfect and yet it teaches us so much about who God is and how His sacrificial love for us invites us into His family. There are so many biblical principles we can learn about parenting, discipleship, and the love of the Father that come from discipling foster children and within the foster care system. Join us as we welcome Chrissie Colmery and Kristen Neiditch as they share about what God has taught them through this unique means of discipleship.

Each child has their own imprint and is uniquely designed by God. No two children are the same and each one requires their own means of discipleship. While the general call to discipleship and the truth of Scripture remain the same, it is important to think through how each child receives instruction and how they respond to the various relationships unique to them. Join us as we hear from Brian and Christina Dillard about what discipleship looks like across various personalities and how God's Word speaks to that.

Experiencing and participating in all that family life has to offer can be so rewarding and bring so much joy. It also means that family life comes with lots of commitments to church, school, sports, music, and a whole host of other activities and pretty soon we can feel like we are drowning in extracurriculars. Many families are faced with a packed schedule shuffling kids from one commitment to the next and find themselves exhausted and unsure how to make room for discipling their kids hearts. On this episode, we will hear from Steph Moss and Reggie Austin on ways they intentionally structure their family's lives to prioritize discipleship while also supporting their kids pursuits of sports, theater, and other endeavors.

Discipleship in this season doesn’t look like deep theological training, but can instead be an opportunity to model the gospel for infants. On this episode, we will have a conversation with Steph Tokos and Martijn Doleman to discuss how they are seeing God work in this stage of parenting and talk about some of the challenges that come with the most physical season parenting has to offer.

We often hear that reading our bibles and prayer are the most important things we can do every day - and they are! But how do we prioritize this when the pressures of parenthood are closing in on us, the list of to-do’s is mounting, and our focus is strained? On this episode, we will hear practical advice from Joon Kang and Jacy Corral on how they prioritize their own spiritual maturity and how that impacts how they disciple their children.
