21: The Five Ways of Jesus | Multiplication

On this episode of the Hey Parents! Podcast, Lee Taylor sits down with missions pastor Brian Fox and a special guest serving overseas to talk about multiplication—what it means to raise kids who don’t just follow Jesus, but help others follow Him too. Together they explore how everyday moments—running errands, sharing meals, practicing hospitality, and praying as a family—can become opportunities for discipleship. Parents will be encouraged to model a faith that is lived out, inviting their kids to see their homes, schools, and neighborhoods as their own mission field.

19: The Five Ways of Jesus — Why Community Matters

In this episode of Hey Parents!, host Lee Taylor is joined by first-time guest Pete Buhls and Jordan Wilkes for a thoughtful and fun conversation about biblical community—the second of the Five Ways of Jesus. The episode kicks off with plenty of laughter (including a birthday reading party complete with tacos) before diving into why real, Christ-centered community matters more than ever for families today. Together, they explore how biblical community goes beyond simply showing up to church and invites us into lives of vulnerability, shared rhythms, and doing everyday life together with Jesus at the center. From multi-generational groups and disciple-making dashboards to modeling belonging for our kids, this conversation offers practical wisdom and encouragement for parents who want to cultivate faith-filled community in their homes and beyond. If you’re longing for deeper connection, healthier rhythms, and a clearer picture of how community shapes spiritual growth—for both you and your children—this episode is for you.

18: The Five Ways of Jesus

Hey Parents is back for Season Two! In this kickoff episode, host Lee Taylor is joined by Logan Grantham, Jack Dodge, and Dylan Evans to reset the heart behind family discipleship and remind parents and grandparents why the home is the primary place faith is formed. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, the team talks honestly about what it means to disciple kids intentionally—not outsourcing faith to the church, but living it out in everyday moments. They introduce the Five Ways of Jesus—worship, community, service, generosity, and multiplication—as a simple, memorable framework for what a healthy, growing disciple looks like. From car rides and dinner tables to bedtime routines and Sunday gatherings, this episode offers practical, realistic ways to make worship a shared rhythm rather than a once-a-week event.  Johnson Ferry Baptist Church is located just north of Atlanta, GA, and is a healthy, vibrant church committed to helping people find truth, belonging, and purpose in Jesus.

17: Disciples Who Make Disciples

In this episode of Hey Parents, host Lee Taylor is joined by Bryan Hanson and David Anderson to wrap up our series on spiritual milestones in the lives of kids. Together, they unpack the final milestone: multiplication—raising children who don’t just follow Jesus, but also help others follow Him. They talk about what it really means to live as a Great Commission family, and how disciple making is more “caught than taught.” From everyday moments like conversations around the dinner table, praying together, and asking curious questions, to intentional practices like serving neighbors, participating in mission opportunities, and using simple disciple-making tools at home, Brian and David share practical ways parents can model a lifestyle of evangelism and discipleship for their kids.
