-
helping families be more intentional and helping families be more intentional and then we're going to build a brand new then we're going to build a brand new then we're going to build a brand new ground up ground up ground up strategy family ministry strategy it strategy family ministry strategy it strategy family ministry strategy it became home point and so then okay what became home point and so then okay what became home point and so then okay what what were those keys really um it's what were those keys really um it's what were those keys really um it's really really simple it's really really simple it's really really simple it's how do we make it um uh really easy how do we make it um uh really easy how do we make it um uh really easy for families to be intentional we got to for families to be intentional we got to for families to be intentional we got to make it easy so they can they can be make it easy so they can they can be make it easy so they can they can be successful at it every time successful at it every time successful at it every time and then how do we make it more likely and then how do we make it more likely and then how do we make it more likely that they'll actually do it that they'll actually do it that they'll actually do it and and so it's really that those two and and so it's really that those two and and so it's really that those two simple pieces let's make it easy simple pieces let's make it easy simple pieces let's make it easy and let's make it more likely great what and let's make it more likely great what and let's make it more likely great what does that mean does that mean does that mean well to make it easy piece if you will well to make it easy piece if you will well to make it easy piece if you will is is is is let's let's pre-select the right is let's let's pre-select the right is let's let's pre-select the right tools the right the right resources the tools the right the right resources the tools the right the right resources the right right right uh ideas for families to go after and uh ideas for families to go after and uh ideas for families to go after and let's make them readily available let's make them readily available let's make them readily available um a lot of churches that we partner um a lot of churches that we partner um a lot of churches that we partner with have a physical resource center on with have a physical resource center on with have a physical resource center on their campus their campus their campus they have imprint resources that they have imprint resources that they have imprint resources that families can pick up of course with families can pick up of course with families can pick up of course with covid covid covid you know things shifted quickly and and you know things shifted quickly and and you know things shifted quickly and and so a lot of churches have shifted to so a lot of churches have shifted to so a lot of churches have shifted to having a digital having a digital having a digital uh resource center an online resource uh resource center an online resource uh resource center an online resource center we've created all kinds of center we've created all kinds of center we've created all kinds of digital digital digital online kind of tools as well but the online kind of tools as well but the online kind of tools as well but the whole idea is whole idea is whole idea is let's give them really simple easy tools let's give them really simple easy tools let's give them really simple easy tools let's make it easy for them to access let's make it easy for them to access let's make it easy for them to access it and then how do you make it more it and then how do you make it more it and then how do you make it more likely that they'll actually do it likely that they'll actually do it likely that they'll actually do it the biggest piece there is a couple the biggest piece there is a couple the biggest piece there is a couple times a year as a church you put some times a year as a church you put some times a year as a church you put some kind of call to action to it kind of call to action to it kind of call to action to it you you actually put some intentionality you you actually put some intentionality you you actually put some intentionality of calling your families to become more of calling your families to become more of calling your families to become more intentional and so intentional and so intentional and so we've created a whole series what we we've created a whole series what we we've created a whole series what we call campaigns they're really call campaigns they're really call campaigns they're really simple topics they're things like have simple topics they're things like have simple topics they're things like have meals together as a family meals together as a family meals together as a family let's put out a challenge to our
-
let's put out a challenge to our let's put out a challenge to our families actually have meals together families actually have meals together families actually have meals together and have some conversations about jesus and have some conversations about jesus and have some conversations about jesus around the dinner table around the dinner table around the dinner table and we'll give you the conversation and we'll give you the conversation and we'll give you the conversation starters we'll give you all the fun starters we'll give you all the fun starters we'll give you all the fun ideas creative ideas ideas creative ideas ideas creative ideas um to do that or hey let's put down our um to do that or hey let's put down our um to do that or hey let's put down our electronic devices electronic devices electronic devices and actually talk to each other face to and actually talk to each other face to and actually talk to each other face to face and so we've created a whole face and so we've created a whole face and so we've created a whole campaign around that campaign around that campaign around that where where we've given the families the where where we've given the families the where where we've given the families the tools to actually encourage them and tools to actually encourage them and tools to actually encourage them and equip them equip them equip them to do it and so the first part to make to do it and so the first part to make to do it and so the first part to make it more likely is a couple times a year it more likely is a couple times a year it more likely is a couple times a year do some kind of a call to action do some kind of a call to action do some kind of a call to action we create all the tools to help you do we create all the tools to help you do we create all the tools to help you do that and then the second part of make it that and then the second part of make it that and then the second part of make it more likely more likely more likely is what we call faith path and and faith is what we call faith path and and faith is what we call faith path and and faith path path path is 12 steps from when a child is born is 12 steps from when a child is born is 12 steps from when a child is born until they graduate high school until they graduate high school until they graduate high school and each step is either a a spiritual and each step is either a a spiritual and each step is either a a spiritual practice practice practice things like praying or spending time in things like praying or spending time in things like praying or spending time in god's word or serving or giving god's word or serving or giving god's word or serving or giving or it might be a milestone it might be or it might be a milestone it might be or it might be a milestone it might be things like things like things like uh a child you know baby dedication or a uh a child you know baby dedication or a uh a child you know baby dedication or a a child comes to faith in christ baptism a child comes to faith in christ baptism a child comes to faith in christ baptism you know first time in you know first time in you know first time in in big church or first communion kind of in big church or first communion kind of in big church or first communion kind of stuff stuff stuff and what we've done is we've like we've and what we've done is we've like we've and what we've done is we've like we've identified a identified a identified a a target age for each of those steps and a target age for each of those steps and a target age for each of those steps and then we've created a resource kit then we've created a resource kit then we've created a resource kit and and the idea with those is when the and and the idea with those is when the and and the idea with those is when the child reaches that age child reaches that age child reaches that age you as a church can can email that you as a church can can email that you as a church can can email that family text that family family text that family family text that family however you communicate with your folks however you communicate with your folks however you communicate with your folks and say hey we see johnny's turning and say hey we see johnny's turning and say hey we see johnny's turning three three three this is a great time to start the this is a great time to start the this is a great time to start the blessing stop by pick up your blessing blessing stop by pick up your blessing blessing stop by pick up your blessing kit or go to our website download your

-
circumstances circumstances and these are the challenges that and these are the challenges that and these are the challenges that families face things like families face things like families face things like uh you know financial difficulties in uh you know financial difficulties in uh you know financial difficulties in the home that's actually become a very the home that's actually become a very the home that's actually become a very um popular one over this last year if um popular one over this last year if um popular one over this last year if you will um you will um you will um things like addiction uh in the home uh things like addiction uh in the home uh things like addiction uh in the home uh i'm married to an unbelieving spouse and i'm married to an unbelieving spouse and i'm married to an unbelieving spouse and so so so those different challenges that families those different challenges that families those different challenges that families face we call it kind of the 80 20 rule face we call it kind of the 80 20 rule face we call it kind of the 80 20 rule you know we've identified sort of the 20 you know we've identified sort of the 20 you know we've identified sort of the 20 topics topics topics that cover 85 percent of the challenges that cover 85 percent of the challenges that cover 85 percent of the challenges that families face and so that families face and so that families face and so it's a very efficient strategy if you it's a very efficient strategy if you it's a very efficient strategy if you will will will and as a pastor and you know in a church and as a pastor and you know in a church and as a pastor and you know in a church what that does if you have what that does if you have what that does if you have those resources available in a resource those resources available in a resource those resources available in a resource center on your church website center on your church website center on your church website um most families can go and access that um most families can go and access that um most families can go and access that information and it's kind of a self-help information and it's kind of a self-help information and it's kind of a self-help opportunity for them it's also a great opportunity for them it's also a great opportunity for them it's also a great outreach tool outreach tool outreach tool because people in your community are because people in your community are because people in your community are facing those same challenges or dealing facing those same challenges or dealing facing those same challenges or dealing with those same issues with those same issues with those same issues and so it's a great opportunity for you and so it's a great opportunity for you and so it's a great opportunity for you as a church to leverage those as an as a church to leverage those as an as a church to leverage those as an outreach as part of your outreach or outreach as part of your outreach or outreach as part of your outreach or marketing strategy marketing strategy marketing strategy with folks in the community again it's with folks in the community again it's with folks in the community again it's going to land with the majority of your going to land with the majority of your going to land with the majority of your family family family and then as a pastor that frees you up and then as a pastor that frees you up and then as a pastor that frees you up um you know to spend time with the um you know to spend time with the um you know to spend time with the families maybe in a counseling session families maybe in a counseling session families maybe in a counseling session or those kinds of things or those kinds of things or those kinds of things that you really need to because you're that you really need to because you're that you really need to because you're not spending a lot of time not spending a lot of time not spending a lot of time answering the kind of questions that answering the kind of questions that answering the kind of questions that they could find answers to themselves they could find answers to themselves they could find answers to themselves you know working with these tools and you know working with these tools and you know working with these tools and resources resources resources yeah what is it it was not too long ago yeah what is it it was not too long ago yeah what is it it was not too long ago you guys pivoted you guys pivoted you guys pivoted to become more outward focused as well

and pastors like to grab onto that and pastors like to grab onto that our job is really to equip the saints our job is really to equip the saints our job is really to equip the saints it's interesting to me it's interesting to me it's interesting to me when you look at the word their equip when you look at the word their equip when you look at the word their equip whether you look in the whether you look in the whether you look in the english or the greek go back to the english or the greek go back to the english or the greek go back to the greek there's two aspects to that word greek there's two aspects to that word greek there's two aspects to that word there's there's the teaching aspect there's there's the teaching aspect there's there's the teaching aspect teaching or training aspect teaching or training aspect teaching or training aspect but then there's the the equipment but then there's the the equipment but then there's the the equipment or tools aspect to it or tools aspect to it or tools aspect to it and and we as churches we do a great job and and we as churches we do a great job and and we as churches we do a great job with the teaching with the teaching with the teaching aspect and it's interesting to me you aspect and it's interesting to me you aspect and it's interesting to me you know as as we all pivoted with know as as we all pivoted with know as as we all pivoted with covid um we pivoted really really well covid um we pivoted really really well covid um we pivoted really really well around the teaching piece of it we we around the teaching piece of it we we around the teaching piece of it we we ramped up ramped up ramped up you know digital platforms and video you you know digital platforms and video you you know digital platforms and video you know sunday mornings and video worship know sunday mornings and video worship know sunday mornings and video worship and messages and messages and messages even the bigger churches ramped up video even the bigger churches ramped up video even the bigger churches ramped up video children's and student ministry but it children's and student ministry but it children's and student ministry but it was really was really was really we're going to put our our children's we're going to put our our children's we're going to put our our children's pastor in front of a camera and they're pastor in front of a camera and they're pastor in front of a camera and they're going to teach going to teach going to teach and it's great we need that but where we and it's great we need that but where we and it's great we need that but where we slipped a little slipped a little slipped a little was the actual equipping giving the was the actual equipping giving the was the actual equipping giving the tools or the equipment needed for the tools or the equipment needed for the tools or the equipment needed for the job job job right and i think that's a that's a gap right and i think that's a that's a gap right and i think that's a that's a gap that we helped fill that we helped fill that we helped fill is as a church we come along behind your is as a church we come along behind your is as a church we come along behind your teaching teaching teaching and we actually provide tangible and we actually provide tangible and we actually provide tangible practical tools practical tools practical tools that you can give to families of hey that you can give to families of hey that you can give to families of hey this is how you walk this out in your this is how you walk this out in your this is how you walk this out in your home this is how you home this is how you home this is how you are intentional about passing faith to are intentional about passing faith to are intentional about passing faith to your children this is how you're your children this is how you're your children this is how you're intentional intentional intentional uh in your in the context of your uh in your in the context of your uh in your in the context of your marriage right we've actually got the marriage right we've actually got the marriage right we've actually got the tools behind all that tools behind all that tools behind all that um to help you so it's a great kind of um to help you so it's a great kind of um to help you so it's a great kind of one-two punch if you will
