Podcast appearances and mentions of christina embree

The Kids Ministry Circle Podcast is back after a quick Thanksgiving break. Today's guest and I are talking about a little hot button in our culture right now so buckle up! Christina Embree is the founder of Refocus ministry. Refocus exists to help you identify the bridges and barriers to intergenerational ministry in your church and give you the tools you need to create a culture of generational discipleship and faith formation. A few weeks ago our guest today, Christina Embree posted an article titled “The Disappearing Church: What's to Blame” tackling this big and layered topic and I knew I had to invite her to join me on the podcast to talk more in depth, and boy do we!   This is such an important conversation and my encouragement to you is that this conversation cannot stop at the end of this podcast.  Resources Mentioned: Kids Ministry Circle Cohort Disappearing Church Article Refocus Ministry Website

This month, we invite you to join us for another episode that we recorded live at the D6 Conference in Orlando, FL. Our special guest for this podcast is Christina Embree. Christina is a church planter, New Gen Coordinator at Plowshares Brethren in Christ in Lexington, KY, and serves as the Minister of Generational Discipleship for the Great Lakes Conference of the Brethren in Christ. She earned a Masters of Arts in Ministry, Children, Youth and Family focus from Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University (IWU) and is currently a doctoral candidate of Ministry in Spiritual Formation at IWU. Christina has a heart to see homes as the primary place for faith formation and spiritual growth for kids, parents, grandparents, and every other member of the family. So, grab a cup of coffee and listen in as Kerry and Amy have a fun and incredibly insightful conversation with Christina about what churches can practically do to connect the different generations.
