You're listening to the Family Discipleship podcast, a podcast of Training the Church.

Hey, this is Adam Griffin, and I'm so excited to get started with you, the first episode ever,

or the first season ever of the Family Disci discipleship podcast. But first, let me introduce

you to my lovely co-hosts. First, the incomparable Cassie Bryant. Cassie, how you doing today?

Oh, good. Just holding back my cheers. I felt like a cheer section should have just come in right there

when you said. Please don't hold back. Oh, okay. So I'm bubbling over with excitement. This is so great. That's awesome. And then my favorite co-host, no offense, Cassie, my wife, Chelsea Griffin. Chelsea, how you doing? Never been better. Here I am. Never better. Are you feeling a little nervous today? Yeah, I don't belong on a podcast. That's not true. That's not true. Why would you say you don't belong on a podcast? I don't know. I might say something offensive. That's her biggest word. It's her unpredictability. Here's the good news. We have, this is not live. So when you inevitably say something offensive, we'll just cut that out. And then we'll make that premium content that people can pay for a... Oh, a Patreon. We call it an unrated version of the Family Discibleship. Yes, Family Discipleship uncensored. NR. People like that. That's needed. That's great. Well, we are looking forward to getting started with this first episode and all those to

come.

So thanks for joining us today for the first episode of the Family Discibleship Podcast.

Here we go.

All right.

The most important question we have to cover first.

Why should people listen to us?

I mean, why us?

Why are we doing this?

Are we parenting experts?

Are we the, I don't know, like what makes us special?

I don't know that there's anything, but since there's not really a reason that we are on a pedestal compared to other parents,

let's at least talk about who we are and why we're doing this podcast together.

Cassie, you've got years of experience working with kids and families.

Tell us a little about you and why you're excited about this.

Yeah, so my name is Cassie Bryant, and I'm coming up on 17 years in ministry with children

and families.
