In today's episode, I interview Brian Dembowczyk and we talk a lot about family discipleship. Brian has a brand new book out called Family Discipleship That Works and so we talk about how this format he suggests throughout his book could really work for a lot of families trying to establish home discipleship rhythms.
We explore the themes of gospel transformation in parenting, the importance of understanding image bearing in children, morality versus moralism, and the role of kids ministry leaders in bridging adult and family discipleship.
It is a jam packed episode that I know you will love.

Welcome to a new episode of the Kids Ministry Circle Podcast! This week, I had the opportunity to talk to Derek Altom, the director of events and development at D6.
Derek and I talk about how we can all get better at equipping parents and how it is not just a one time event, but discipleship happens in all areas of life. I loved the story about Derek’s son memorizing scripture in the car! So encouraging and so applicable to all parents.
Of course, I invite Derek to share his families Christmas traditions and talk through how to equip parents to add in a time of home discipleship during the Advent & Christmas season.
Derek was SO kind and gave you all a code for a discount for the D6 Conferences happening Spring of 2025.

I invited the part of the team from Wit.Co Creative to teach us best practices when it comes to decorating our hallways for Christmas.

Do you ever look at people and wonder how they do it all?
Josh & Sarah Denhart are two people who are serving the church, raising kids, caring for ministry leaders, and so much more! But, what I love the most about Josh & Sarah is their willingness to share how the hard seasons have shaped them and how they continue to put God at the center of all that they do.
In this episode we have an honest conversation about what life has looked like for Josh & Sarah as they have served together in ministry for over two decades! They share a few of the ways they continue to cheer on each other in their gifting and how they raised their own kids in the spotlight of ministry.
Today's episode is with a couple of my favorite leaders in the kids ministry space. Chuck Peters and Jana Magruder lead the team behind Lifeway Next Gen and help create some of our favorite resources.
Throughout this episode, they share how they work together united with one vision and they highlight the value of transparency, vulnerability, and grace in their professional and personal interactions.
We talk about the joys of launching a brand new curriculum and the importance of being culturally aware as we lead and serve kids and families.
I know you will love this conversation!
