HELPING PARENTS ENGAGE IN SPIRITUAL FORMATION

Even in the midst of having good motives as a ministry leader, sometimes we pursue the wrong efforts. Families have the greatest influence on a child’s life. We must focus on reaching the family if we want discipleship to go beyond Sunday School or youth group. Jim Burns shares with us how to empower parents and the effect it can have on their families and churches.

HIRING D6 MINISTRY STAFF AND RECRUITING D6 VOLUNTEERS

Whether hiring ministry staff or recruiting volunteers, the people we recruit to forward our mission and vision will either propel us to new heights or keep us from being all that God wants us to be as the local church. Making disciples by equipping families is an important move of God in the church today. Hiring through the lens of values allows you to shape new staffers for strategy with the momentum of shared drivers.

Hiring carefully and avoiding common mistakes allows you to recruit people that will champion the cause for the long haul, giving you the ability to taste the fruit of D6 ministry in the next generation. We are only as great as our team of leaders. Staff well!

FW4 & SW4: CAROL BARNIER

PARENTS AND PRODIGALS

Carol is a humorist and speaker, frequent radio guest and author, wife and mother, Pastor’s kid, Christian… and former atheist. In this talk, she’ll take you inside deep inside the mind of an atheist, of a prodigal who walked away from faith, church and family for thirteen years. When your prodigal declares there’s no God, or wants nothing to do with your beliefs and values. . . what should you do? What should you not do?

And when their journey down the path of their newest philosophy comes to an end, and they’re ready to consider something else, will they look back home? This talk lets you view prodigalism from the inside out—what factors can lead to this journey, and what factors can impact a return. Don’t miss this unique perspective on a walk away from and back to God.

THINGS I WISH I’D KNOWN BEFORE WE BECAME PARENTS

If churches would share these insights with expecting couples they could greatly reduce the stress of parenting.
