Summary

Adam Griffin is joined by Phil and Diane Comer to discuss their story of how they desired to raise their children to love and follow Jesus.Questions Covered in This Episode:
  • What did it look like for your family to follow Jesus daily?
  • How did y’all customize discipleship for each one of your kids?
  • How does God disciple and raise us and how does that affect how we should raise our kids?
  • Did y’all do anything intentional to help your kids love the body of Christ as y’all raised your kids?
  • How do you have non-negotiables around spiritual disciplines in your home raising your children (requiring them to read their Bibles, attend church, etc.)?
Guest Bio:In 2004, Phil & Diane Comer, along with their son John Mark, planted Solid Rock, A Jesus Church (now known as Westside: A Jesus Church), in Portland, Oregon. Over the years, God moved powerfully and other churches were planted across the West Coast including Bridgetown Church, where John Mark Comer served as Founding/Pastor of teaching and vision for ten years before launching “Practicing The Way”.  After raising four kids who are all walking with Jesus, Phil & Diane were commissioned by the elders with the task of teaching parents how to raise passionate Jesus followers.Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Let this Mother’s Day be a reminder that she deserves care, too.
