Family discipleship, Christian parenting, and teaching toddlers about Jesus are at the heart of this conversation with pastor, author, and podcaster Adam Griffin, lead pastor of Eastside Community Church and co-host of The Family Discipleship Podcast. Adam shares the vision behind his new children’s board book, What Will You Teach Me?, and why the earliest lessons—colors, numbers, animals, and music—can all point children back to God.

This episode explores how parents can integrate faith into everyday learning, why discipleship doesn’t require seminary training, and how spiritual formation begins long before children can read or speak.

Highlights

• Why most Christian kids’ books miss an opportunity for deeper discipleship

• How everyday lessons like math, science, and language reveal God’s design

• The inspiration behind What Will You Teach Me?

• Why this board book is designed for babies through age four

• How repetition helps children learn truth through story and visuals

• What “family discipleship” really means—and why it’s often overcomplicated

• Bridging the gap between spiritual and secular education

• Why discipleship deserves the same priority as academics

• How parents can lead spiritually without being experts

• Adam’s vision for future family discipleship resources
