Today’s conversation is all about “belong,” which we believe is the most important factor in resilient child discipleship. In part two of this episode, Josh Mulvihill and Mike Handler continue the conversation around belonging.

Matt Markins returns to the podcast to breakdown the “3Bs” discussed in Resilient: Child Discipleship and the Fearless Future of the Church. We desire to create spaces for children to belong through highly relational ministry led by a loving and caring adult. Through a deeply Scriptural ministry rooted in the truth of God’s Word and the power of the Gospel, we see children being to believe. These children will become who God made them to be through truly experiential ministry, designed to move them from simulation to real-world application of faith-based living.
