This month we’re thinking through the idea of intergenerational discipleship where we surround our kids with people from older generations in order to give them a bigger picture of faith. We all know that it’s important to have our kids in Sunday school or in a small group at our church, but these groups alone don’t have to be the end. If our kids can be influenced by a group of significant adults who teach them, encourage them, and model a relationship with Jesus, there is a better chance of them developing a faith that will last a lifetime. This is intergenerational discipleship, and you, as parents, are in the best position to look for opportunities to foster these relationships in the lives of your kids. This month’s resources will help you better understand the importance of intergenerational discipleship and give you some practical ways to make it a part of your child’s spiritual journey.

In this month’s Parenting Class, we encourage you to embrace the power of intergenerational discipleship and work to surround your kids with people of all ages who can spur them on in faith. Church is a great place for the next generation to learn from and build relationships with past (and future) generations, but you, as their parents, can be proactive in helping your children have multiple influences in their lives. This video will give you a few ideas and steps you can take to make intergenerational discipleship a real part of your family journey.
