Summary
- What are some examples of family discipleship milestones?
- How do you think our culture is thinking about manhood and womanhood and adulthood and how is it different from what we want for our kids?
- What are some of the harder and tougher things that can be milestones?
- What are some scriptural examples of God giving his people physical reminders of his faithfulness?
- Can you think of physical things or places that remind you of God’s faithfulness?
- Do y’all have any milestones you’ve already marked or any you are looking forward to?
- How can churches help make and mark milestones?
- Can you think of family traditions, adventures, or heirlooms that could help parents remind their kids about Christ?
- “For our good we create reminders of God’s faithfulness. We don’t want to fall out of love with Jesus and we don’t want to fall into sin. We have to stay reminded all the time. God knows that and that’s why the scriptures repeat again and again “Don’t forget, don’t forget, don’t forget!”” - Chelsea Griffin
- “The opposite of manhood is not womanhood, it’s boyhood. The bible says that when I became a man I put childish ways away. As our boys go from boyhood to manhood I want them to learn to serve others, I want them to have the courage to protect others, and I want them to put others first as they put themselves last. I want them to have the courage to follow God in a culture that does not respect that.” - Chelsea Griffin
- “Not all milestones are celebratory. It can be the loss of a family pet. Their first funeral. It can be failing a class or making a huge mistake at school. It is taking anything that your kid will likely look back on and remember, and wanting to make sure that in their memory of that time they remember you walking with them and they remember you pointing them to truth and how to think about that difficult thing in light of the gospel.” - Cassie Bryant
- “God seems keenly aware that we are a forgetful people and so he gives his people a lot of reminders. Our eyes need to see things to remind us that God seeks to dwell with his people.” - Chelsea Griffin
- “There’s something so special about going on a pilgrimage, going on a trip that has a spiritual meaning behind it.” - Adam Griffin
- “If you do not plan family discipleship milestones, they will not happen. There are really sweet things that come from a family sitting down and planning out how we are going to point out the goodness of God.” - Adam Griffin
- Every Moment Holy
- Light Their Way
- “Christ calls us to care for those living in poverty—including parents working hard for their children’s future.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Family Discipleship podcast, a podcast of Training the Church. |
| 0:12.4 | This is Adam Griffin, and before we get to our topic of the hour, let me first introduce my two lovely co-hosts. |
| 0:18.2 | First, the maestro of milestones, Miss Cassie Bryant. How you doing today, Cassie? I'm doing great. I love being a maestro. Mystro. Nothing I've ever aspired to be. I love it. I feel like it's like a conductor of many different things, right? It is. Orchestras. Orchestras, symphonies. Yeah. And the woman who made me a husband. |
| 0:39.6 | Chelsea Griffin. |
| 0:40.3 | How are you doing today, Chelsea? |
| 0:41.4 | Good. |
| 0:41.9 | Super happy that I made you be my husband. |
| 0:44.2 | You made. |
| 0:44.9 | I meant that to be less like a, sound like a forceful engagement, but more like a right of passage. |
| 0:51.7 | No, I kind of like the imagery of just kind of like capturing you and, you know, kind of forcing you into something. |
| 0:59.0 | Like setting a snare and then slamming a ring onto my finger. |
| 1:01.7 | Yes. |
| 1:04.4 | Well, today we're talking about milestones. |
| 1:06.4 | I thought it would be worth it to talk about for just a second. |
| 1:08.8 | Do you guys have a moment where you feel like you realized, oh, man, I'm a grown-up or now I know I'm an adult because, you know, fill in the blank. Something you bought, something you faced, something you felt. When did you start feeling like, yeah, I'm definitely a grown-up now? |
| 1:23.7 | Adam, I have these moments every day. It's like I wake up in denial and then a medical bill comes in the mail. |
| 1:31.9 | Or they call because it's come in the mail and I've set it aside. |
| 1:37.0 | Oh, man. I think the first time I remember actually, this is really sorry mom. I need to apologize. I got caught shoplifting when I was, |
| 1:47.4 | I had just turned 18. And so they didn't have to call my parents. I remember being so relieved |
| 1:51.9 | that I was considered an adult. But also, in order to pay the fine for it, I had to get a credit |
| 1:57.5 | card, which also was an adult milestone situation. So it wasn't a great |
| 2:01.7 | milestone? Can you tell us what you took? And did this happen at Clares? No, it did not happen. |
