If your church feels “too old” or “too small” to reach young families, this episode is packed with simple, practical ideas you can try this week. 

We’re talking about how small churches can connect with young families—not by doing more, but by showing up differently. It’s not about flashy programs or keeping up with trends. 

It’s about presence, warmth, and creating spaces where tired parents feel seen, supported, and safe. Because maybe your steady, faithful little church is exactly what they need right now.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why waiting for young families to “wander in” doesn’t work anymore
• Where to actually find families in your community and how to connect with no strings attached
• How to welcome families once they walk through the door
• Why small, older churches might be the most relevant ones of all
