Why Discipleship Can't Be Outsourced to the Church | God's Design for Family

Many Christian parents have been told that discipleship is something that primarily happens at church. Drop your kids off in children's ministry, attend worship, and trust that spiritual growth will take care of itself. But is that really God's design? In this episode of The Family Room Mission Podcast, Ashley Tilford explores why discipleship cannot be outsourced to the church and why God has called parents to be the primary disciple-makers in their children's lives. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, Ashley discusses the biblical responsibility parents have to teach God's Word diligently, not just during church services but throughout everyday life. If you've ever wondered where to start or felt overwhelmed by the responsibility of leading your family spiritually, this episode will encourage you with practical first steps and a biblical perspective on God's design for families.
