Raising Kids Who Don’t Leave The Church When They Leave Home PART 2 ::[Ep. 299]

Headlines say church is shrinking, but the bigger story is personal: will our kids still love Jesus when they leave our home? We tackle the myths and get specific about what actually keeps young adults rooted—starting with genuine salvation, daily Scripture habits, and real service that turns them from consumers into contributors.

We break down the difference between belief and belonging, unpack why 1 Corinthians 12 makes isolation a losing strategy, and show how Ephesians 4 equips families to grow through truth spoken in love. You’ll hear how clarifying research on church attendance and divorce reframes the narrative, why online stand-ins can’t replace embodied discipleship, and how small acts of service—yes, even running slides at eight—train courage, humility, and ownership. We make the case that local church community doesn’t just rescue marriages in crisis; it prevents crisis by surrounding couples with counsel, accountability, and friendships that align with Scripture.

If you want your son or daughter to keep meeting with God’s people, start now: ask for their testimony in writing, set Bible reading benchmarks together, and place them in roles that stretch their gifts. Model respect for volunteers, show your weaknesses, and invite accountability. Faithfulness is our call; outcomes belong to God. Listen, share this with another parent who needs a plan, then subscribe and leave a review to help more families build biblically healthy marriages and raise kids who stay rooted in Christ.
