In this sermon, AnDina Wiley, Director of Family Discipleship at Christ Community Church, shares a powerful message on how ministry is meant to be a shared calling, not a solo mission. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, Romans 12:4–6, and John 13:35, she shows how serving together reflects God's design for His church.Whether you're serving in youth ministry, leading a small group, or simply seeking deeper connection in your church, this message will encourage you to move from isolation to community, because the gospel is most powerful when it's lived out together.Key Themes:Ministry is a shared calling, not a solo actDiverse leadership strengthens connectionStudents learn faith through relationships, not just rolesModeling Christian community builds a lasting impactEvery believer has a vital role to play

I take my kids out, one-on-one, every week. It doesn't have to be anything fancy—sometimes, it's just ice cream or a car wash run with my daughter. Over time, these moments build strong relationships and make way for deeper conversations. Plus, we try to do family devotions and prayer time before bed. We're not perfect, but it's a constant effort. Absolutely. It's crucial to prioritize your kids and give them the best of you, not just what's left. Simple activities, like watching a favorite show together, can mean a lot. The key is to be present and make the most of these moments. Right. And it's never too late to start. Even if you've missed opportunities before, you can always begin now. Whether it's with your own kids, grandkids, or kids at church, just be intentional. God's grace covers it all, and He's more than willing to help us on this journey.

What if discipleship isn't something we outsource, but something we embody, right where we are? In this episode, I sit down with David Sunde for a grounded and hopeful conversation about raising homegrown disciples. We talk about parenting, presence, and the slow, incarnational work of forming our families in the way of Jesus. David invites us to move beyond programs and into apprenticeship, learning not by content alone, but by imitation, by presence, by love. We explore how ordinary moments, mealtimes, bedtimes, commutes, can become sacred spaces. And how the Spirit forms us not through performance, but through vulnerability, reconciliation, and belonging. The Spirit of God is already moving in our homes and formation begins not with perfection, but with presence.David Sunde has been involved in professional non-profit and pastoral leadership for 25 years. As a native of San Francisco, California, he grew up amid a melting pot of culture, class, religion, and thoughts that shaped an unassuming if not disarming approach to people and conversation. Leveraging that experience alongside doctoral training in semiotics and culture, David is a catalyst for church renewal and developmental relationships. He's the author of Small-Batch Disciplemaking and the new release, Homegrown Disciples: Parenting Rhythms for Drawing Your Kids into Life With God. David and his wife, Laurel, have two kids, Bjorn and Annika, and live in Austin, TX.David's Book:Homegrown DisciplesDavid's Recommendations:Decoding the DivineAdventSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

It's important for families to delight and rejoice in all the good things that God provides. Naturally, it's easy to want to isolate oneself from relationship with others. Whether it be singing around the fire pit, playing sports, going on trips together, or camping, spending time together is an invaluable and wonderful thing. Listen to this segment of Discipleship for Dads to get an idea of ways you can implement this in your family's life.This program includes:1.

In this segment of Discipleship for Dads, we visit the importance of church vs. family. The reality is that fathers, families, and churches need to be revived, but what should take priority? It's a both and - we can't have strong families without strong churches and we can't have strong churches without strong families. If both are important, however, what should this look like for Christian families? How can families serve in the church? Is hospitality important? When is it appropriate for a pastor to step down, for the sake of his family?This program includes:1.

As parents, we're not meant to raise our children alone. Community matters—partnering with schools, churches, and other families helps shape a shared vision and a strong culture for our children. Yet, in a world where busyness and digital distractions dominate, meaningful communication between home and school has never been more challenging.In this episode, Davies Owens and his daughter, Hannah, dive into the crucial but often forgotten element of classical Christian education: effective communication between schools and parents. Drawing from their experience with ZipCast and insights from national surveys, they explore how schools can better engage parents and equip families with the tools needed to raise the next generation.

In this first episode we go back to Matthew 28 to be reminded that our primary role as parents is to be disciples of Jesus making disciples in our home. One of the best ways to do so is in establishing regular rhythms of pursuing Jesus together and that's what "Time, Moments & Milestones" is all about. This episode starts the discussion on Time, what it is and examples of what it could look like in your family's schedules.Family Discipleship: https://www.amazon.com/dp/143356629X/?bestFormat=true&k=family%20discipleship%20matt%20chandler&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_11&crid=3P9RLOVRFXUVC&sprefix=family%20discHey Everyone!

When leaders step back, the enemy always steps in—don't leave your family vulnerable to spiritual attack. King Saul is dead. An arrow wounded him, and he took his life by falling on his own sword. Then this happened in 1 Samuel 31:7-10: And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. And the Philistines came and lived in them. The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. So they cut off his head and stripped off his armor and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines, to carry the good news to the house of their idols and to the people. They put his armor in the temple of Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan. — 1 Samuel 31:7-10 The fall of Saul was a catastrophic failure of leadership. The nation's first leader, chosen and anointed by God, was now lying dead, with his sons slain by him, and enemies were desecrating his body and legacy. In addition, the Philistines wasted no time capitalizing on his defeat. They cut off his head, stripped his body, paraded his armor as a trophy, and hung his remains in public humiliation. Nearby Israelites, seeing their king crushed, fled their homes, leaving entire cities to be occupied by the enemy. This should be a sober reminder of the importance of leadership and the consequences of its failure. Saul's perpetual disobedience and downward spiral left a devastating wake on everyone and humiliated the nation, and the enemy seized the opportunity to mock, defile, and advance their cause. While this was a catastrophic illustration, we see shadows of this type of failure today. One is the breakdown of spiritual leadership in the home. Speaking directly to the believing men listening today, when you, as a husband and father, neglect your God-given role to lead in the home, you leave yourself and your family vulnerable. Then, your wife and your children grow up without a strong spiritual foundation, leaving them susceptible to the enemy's lies about identity, purpose, and truth. It's not the church's responsibility to spiritually raise your family. It's your responsibility. Your passivity to obedience to God has the same effect as Saul's lack of spiritual leadership and disobedience to his family. This might be a graphic picture, but it is the truth. Someone is always discipling your family. If it's not you, it's Netflix, Disney, TikTok, and Snapchat, and they are very good at discipling your family. Then, one day, you look up to realize your family no longer believes in God; in addition, they act in defiance of God. Now you like Israel are looking at the devastation on Mount Gilboa. When we step back, the enemy steps in. Don't step back today! Step in! Step into spiritual leadership in your home, workplace, and community. One spiritual leader can make a home, workplace, church, and nation different forever. #LeadershipMatters #ObedienceToGod #FaithfulMen Ask This: Where are you most tempted to neglect spiritual leadership in your life? What would it take to step up today? Do This: Step in and step up in one place and one way today. Pray This: Father, help me to lead with integrity and faithfulness. Protect those I lead from the consequences of my failures, and guide me to always depend on You. Amen. Play This: War.
