Summary

Adam Griffin and Cassie Bryant are joined by JD Greear to have a conversation about what Family Discipleship looks like for the Greears!Questions Covered in This Episode:
  • If I asked your children to describe you, what kind of things do you think they would say, and, if it’s any different, what kind of things would you hope they would say one day? 
  • As you were raising your kids, what did following Christ as a family look like for y’all? What were the rhythms of discipleship for you as a dad?
  • What are some of your favorite memories of spiritual conversations in your own home?
  • How has your church been a blessing to your kids and your family?
  • Would you be willing to share about any times that were particularly difficult for you as you led your home toward Christ?
  • How do you answer the question, “I believe in God… why do I still struggle with anxiety?”
  • What does it look like in your home to have conversations about salvation, politics, sex, sin, etc.?
  • Do you have any encouragement for the pastors and the parents who are feeling insufficient to address all the questions of their churches and families?
  • Share with us how Christians might build a better vision for spiritual leadership at home and why that is important?

Which honestly, it wasn't that hard, but it was fresh. If Jesus is God, then who is he praying to in the garden? Because that was God too.
