The Forge Resources: Your Church's Next Discipleship Toolkit

The people in your church know they should be discipling others, but most feel like they lack the equipping and encouragement needed to disciple others well. Yet, if just one person discipled two others across a year and those two discipled two the following year and that continued, more than two billion people would be discipled in just twenty years.

Join us in a multiplication movement by committing to focusing on discipleship in your church through five new resources inspired by the new Kendrick Brothers film, THE FORGE.

Define the Relationship: Building a Parent Ministry That Works (And Doesn’t Feel Awkward)

Ministry leaders, it’s time for the talk—no, not that one. We’re talking about defining the real relationship between your student ministry and church-going parents whom God’s called to disciple their kids.

Let’s be honest: most parent ministries (if they exist at all) feel either awkward, overly formal, or like a last-minute announcement about a chili cook-off. But what if there was a better way? What if instead of guilt-tripping or info-dumping, we actually partnered with parents in the discipleship journey? What does the latest Lifeway Research student ministry study tell us about the dynamics between parents and church leaders?
