Homegrown Disciples: Parenting Rhythms for Drawing Your Kids Into Life with God

Teach what you know, reproduce who you are, and trust that God is at work in your family’s journey.

Christian parents long to instill a lasting faith in our children, but the challenge of balancing spiritual teaching with academic, extracurricular, and social demands can be overwhelming. Many feel inadequate or unqualified to lead their children spiritually. In Homegrown Disciples, David Sunde offers seven rhythms to help disciplemaking parents know God better, experience him more fully, and leverage their faith for the benefit of their children.

Find out how to reproduce a living faith in your kids’ lives through the seven rhythms of apprenticing, renewal, hospitality, community, compassion, generosity, and gratitude.

Learn how to:

• Experience God’s presence and grace through the highs and lows of raising children,
• Create a nurturing environment where faith can grow naturally,
• Use everyday interactions to reveal God’s heart and truth to your children,
• Embrace the idea that both you and your children are learning and growing together in faith.
