Episode Synopsis

In this episode of “Desert Well,” we delve into the true essence of discipleship beyond just prayer, Bible study, and church attendance. Join us as we discuss the concept of discipleship in regular life and how being a disciple of Jesus encompasses all aspects of daily interactions and roles. We also explore the importance of family discipleship, sharing practical ways to weave faith into everyday family rhythms. Whether you have young children or teenagers, this episode provides valuable insights into fostering a Christ-centered life at home. We challenge you to take the next step towards intentional family discipleship. We have linked two very insightful resources that we touched a bit on today Habits of the Household https://a.co/d/6AmO4RZ and Teach Your Children Well https://a.co/d/d4ocVqe . We feel these resources will aide you in discovering how God wants to use your family's story as part of His greater narrative. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction00:20 Reflecting on Last Week's Discussion02:22 Beyond Traditional Discipleship03:51 Living as a Disciple in Everyday Roles05:34 Being a Good Neighbor08:38 Hospitality and Neighborly Love09:19 Personal Stories of Neighboring14:02 Transition to Family Discipleship14:37 Experiences of Family Discipleship18:50 The Role of Parents in Faith Formation25:30 The Importance of Scripture in Daily Life26:49 Teaching Faith Through Everyday Moments27:56 Parenting Challenges and Faith Conversations31:28 Practical Faith Practices for Young Children33:17 Incorporating Faith into Family Routines35:47 Resources for Faith-Based Parenting41:26 The Role of Parents in Faith Formation44:27 Encouragement for Overwhelmed Parents45:31 Conclusion and Invitation to EngageBe sure to join us here every Friday to catch the latest episode from Desert Well.
