| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Family Discipleship Podcast, a podcast of Training the Church. |
| 0:12.9 | This is Adam Griffin, and I'm here to conclude our seventh season of the Family Discipleship |
| 0:18.3 | podcast with a quick monologue episode. That means that |
| 0:21.7 | Cassie is not with me. Chelsea is with me. It's just me and you, the listener. And I'm here |
| 0:27.0 | to talk to you about something that's bothering me. So in the past, I've kind of done monologue |
| 0:32.9 | episodes that I hope have been helpful. We talk about kids ministry and we look for in kids ministry |
| 0:37.8 | or things like that. And I hope to do more monologues in the future. But I'm popping on tonight |
| 0:42.2 | with a little bit of unease in my soul about family discipleship. And so what better way to work |
| 0:49.2 | it out than with thousands of people who I can't look in the eye. So I want to talk a little bit about what's bothering me regarding family discipleship. |

But what I, what happens a lot when I go to these conferences or when I see books come out on family discipleship or I had the honor of |
| 1:28.6 | endorsing a new resource, which I'm always honored to do. I've heard this refrain now for |
| 1:33.3 | probably the last 10 years, but it seems more and more so lately. And that is this, that when a |
| 1:40.1 | book is written about family discipleship or when there is a podcast, for instance, about |
| 1:45.5 | family discipleship, or when somebody's giving a talk on family discipleship, there is a sentiment |
| 1:50.7 | from a lot of people that they would say, parents have enough pressure as it is. So they don't |
| 1:58.3 | need more by offering or talking about these things that parents already are stressed. |
| 2:04.2 | Parents already are anxious. |
| 2:06.7 | And so why would we add to their burdens by talking about spiritually leading their homes like this? |
