“As parents and followers of Christ, few areas of our lives can prompt more guilt, insecurity, and anxiety than discipling our children,” writes Brian Dembowczyk. “We want to disciple. We try to disciple. But more often than not, we fail to disciple.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Dembowczyk about why we fail to disciple our kids and how we can begin to do so effectively.

He was previously the managing editor of The Gospel Project, a Bible study curriculum used by over 1.6 million adults, teens, and children each week, and he has also been a pastor, discipleship pastor, and family pastor. He is author of Family Discipleship That Works, published by InterVarsity Press, as well as “No Place Like Home: Equipping families for children's discipleship” in the fall 2024 issue of Influence.

The latest season of the New Yorker’s podcast In the Dark explores what happened in Haditha and how the U.S. military justice system often fails to hold its members to account. Host Madeleine Baran spoke with Apple News In Conversation’s Shumita Basu about this expansive investigative reporting.

The truck was abandoned by the driver who is still at large, INM added. The migrants came from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, INM wrote. Of the 148 people rescued there were women and men traveling solo, 23 unaccompanied minors and 44 families – which consisted of 115 people.  

So far, 105 Palestinians—about half of them militants or alleged attackers—were killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank and east Jerusalem since the start of 2023, according to an Associated Press tally.

Every church has students with a variety of special education needs, but our youth ministries are often under-equipped to appropriately minister to these students and their families. What should youth workers know about special education and how can they be better equipped to serve these young men and women?  Discussion includes: How can youth workers think theologically about the reality of special needs?  How can youth workers better care for students with special needs - especially regarding youth with mild/moderate disabilities.  Within the dynamics of regular youth group programming, how do you encourage students to welcome struggling learners? What are some basic modifications we can make?  What does ministry look like to students who are on the autism spectrum or have another more significant diagnosis? How can we best care for and disciple them? How can youth workers minister to and support parents of students with disabilities?  Resources mentioned: ldaamerica.org - Learning Disabilities Association of America.

The village of Angakuei(Baidit Payam) was raided by the bandits alleged to be from the Greater Pibor region in South Sudan. According to Biormaduk, the youth leader in Angakuei, a large number of the armed group emerged from three directions of the North and the Southern side of the village.

Children's ministry leader Michayla White challenges church leaders to assess if they're striving to create space to embrace the inclusion of children as full members of the family of God. 

Children and young people have historically been seen as passive and incapable of participating in the decisions that affect their lives. But as society has become more aware of child's rights and the importance of inclusive citizenship, opportunities have arisen for children to become involved and considered in decision-making processes.  Dr Ben Lohmeyer is a writer, researcher and lecturer in social policy at Flinders University. Much of his work has focused on children and young people, and popular discourse which has minimised or disqualified their potential contributions to social policy. In this episode of the Emerging Minds podcast, he discusses society's ‘exclusionary' attitudes towards children and young people, and looks at the ways in which practitioners, organisations and institutions can collaborate with children to make their views, preferences, hopes and concerns a central part of decision-making and problem-solving approaches. Ben is interested in the ways that children and young people have become increasingly involved in activism – around climate change, for example. He believes there are still many ways that children's voices get minimised or disqualified by society but is deeply interested in the ways that children have persevered and been able to make protest, despite these obstacles.  In his work as a social policy lecturer, Ben is committed to the ethic of inclusion. This moves away from the traditional, ‘banking' notion of teaching, where wisdom and truth are owned by the teacher (or the most powerful), towards learning strategies that focus on the student's own know-how, reflections and preferences. In this way, Ben hopes that these future social workers will themselves favor practices with children and young people that are based on principles of co-creation and privileging the child's voice.   In this episode you will learn:   the dangers of excluding children's voices from important decisions like social policy, overcoming problems, or creating safe and nurturing spaces (05:59) how moving towards more participatory teaching and service intervention models can benefit children and enhance your engagements with them (10:49) how the voices of people with lived experience are now being prioritised in research and co-design processes (21:18) how to create spaces for children and young people to provide feedback; and the importance of adults being able to accept feedback that might be difficult to hear, or uncomfortable, or even unexpected (27:32) the importance of understanding the different ways of communicating that children and young people have, and using their own reference points, rather than judging them from your own point of view (32:18).

In this edition of Fresh Hope for Mental Health Pastor Brad interviews Dr. Steve Grcevich.  Dr. Grcevich is the author of Mental Health and the Church: A Ministry Handbook for Including Children and Adults with ADHD, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Other Common Mental Health Conditions, which be released this week (February of 2017).  Pastor Brad believes that this book is a must read and must use book for any church that wants to include people who struggle with mental health issues. The church across North America does a weak job of welcoming and including families of children, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions or trauma. One obstacle is the absence of a widely accepted model for mental health inclusion ministries for kids, teens, adults, and their families. In Mental Health and the Church, Dr. Stephen Grcevich seeks to put forth a model for a mental health/trauma inclusion ministry of sufficient flexibility to be implemented by churches of all sizes, denominations, and organizational styles. This model is based upon an understanding of seven barriers that families of kids, teens, and adults with common mental health conditions face if they seek to regularly attend a local church: ADHD, anxiety disorders, attachment disorders, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and difficulties with social communication/interaction. The model includes seven broad inclusion strategies for helping persons with common mental health conditions and their families to overcome barriers to active engagement in the full range of ministries offered by the local church. Dr. Grcevich is the principal author of Church4EveryChild, recognized among the Top 15 children’s ministry blogs in 2013 by Ministry-To-Children.com, and serves as the Program Committee Chairman for Inclusion Fusion, Key Ministry’s Disability Ministry Web Summit. In March of 2013, he was recognized by Sharecare as one of the top ten online influencers in children’s mental health. Dr. Grcevich is a physician specializing in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in practice in Chagrin Falls, OH. He is a graduate of Northeastern Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) and trained at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Case Western Reserve University. He is a faculty member at both Case Western and NEOMED and has extensive research experience evaluating the safety and effectiveness of medications prescribed to children and teens for ADHD, anxiety and depression. He has been a featured speaker or presenter at over 35 national and international medical conferences and is a past recipient of the Exemplary Psychiatrist Award from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and the “Psychiatrist of the Year” award from the Ohio Chapter of NAMI.

Professor John M Davis, Professor of Childhood Inclusion, delivers his inaugural lecture entitled Including Children in Scotland: Concepts, Structures, Relationships and the Common Weal.With the referendum to be held in 2014 in Scotland there has been great debate concerning the type of society we want to live in. Professor Davis draws from over 25 years of collaborative research, practical work with children and eventful encounters to discuss what a more child focussed, inclusive and socially just society might look like.This lecture contains infrequent uses of strong language.Recorded on 13 May 2014 at the University of Edinburgh's Old College.
