This is the message that started the "Family Driven Faith" firestorm. This exposition of Ephesians 6:1-4 challenges the very foundation of age-segregated ministry in the local church. The Bible makes it clear that parents (not Sunday school teachers, youth ministers, or teachers) are responsible for the discipleship of their children. Moreover, the church has a responsibility to avoid efforts that undermine this biblical imperative. Unfortunately, much of what we have done for the past several decades has worked against biblical discipleship in the home. There must be a reformation in this area. This message has been the spark for such a reformation in countless lives and local churches around the world.

I know some very welling meaning people that work in the youth groups and with the youth, I want to be very careful not to offend those people or act ungracious to their work. I think we've fallen so far as a society that we might not even realize that we are undermining the Bible's commands. Take a listen see what you think.

That's the book that started it for us, too! We take a stand on our children's education when we choose to homeschool them but then when we step foot in the local church, we all go separate ways and we, as parents, give up our responsibility and privilege of leading our children in the way they should go. Once that 2X6 of a revelation hit us, we promptly found a family-integrated church and it has a been a dream come true. We will never go back to age-segregated again! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful book & Wonderful message! Dr. Baucham has been such a blessing to our family. Thanks for sharing!:)
