Welcome to the Courageous Parenting Podcast.

Hey guys, today we are talking about the importance of how to practically encourage your kids to be a member of the body of Christ.

This is more important than ever.

We're in a unprecedented time.

The confusion that's potentially going to be caused in the future with AI and everything like that,

you've got to be instilling real faith in your children, disciplining them, but also serving with them and experiencing God together and pointing them to

the Lord. And there's lots of different ways to do that. So we're going to give some practical answers

to that. Yeah. Going to church on Sunday, while it's good and we're told not to neglect the gathering

is not what saves us. Jesus justified us. Nothing we do saves us,

and our kids need to know that, but there will be a fruit that you can see in your kids and

in your family if you give them the opportunity to serve. And when they love Jesus,

they're going to want to serve.

We're diving into real faith here, how to really instill that. You can't save

your kids, but there's so much you can do as parents to point them to Christ, to disciple them,

to do everything you can, to help them experience God and to serve others and so forth. So how do you

do that, though, in the modern church? How do you do that with the modern rhythms that people have,

families have?

It's very busy.

It seems like it's hard to evade that busyness.

Yeah, and it also seems like there's a lot of programs already in place when you step into a church.

And the thought of maybe your kids being able to volunteer and serve might be complicated or you think they

won't be valued or invited to participate. So we're going to talk about some really practical

things. But before we do, we have some scripture we want to dive into with you today on this
