Family Discipleship a Blessing to Families
D2D Parenting Day took place on February 5 with around 15 family units in attendance.
Parents in SW Washington received discipleship training through interactive family sessions. According to parents, the intergenerational approach created a “good combination of kids & adult activity,” Some parents did mention the approach was a bit distracting. The trainer, William Hurtado, believes having children present creates opportunities to educate children about the parent’s role in their lives, and to normalize discipleship conversations in the household. As a way to balance intergenerational time, children can separate into a special program to give parents focused time to dive into discipleship.
What did parents enjoy most? Here are some parent remarks.
- “Learning about parenting styles.”
- “Bible verses and the paper and the handouts.”
- “That God’s goal for our family is holiness”
- “Biblical foundation–good reminders”
William Hurtado is looking forward to future events where parents can go deeper into family discipleship!
