WHERE DO YOU START in making a God-Honoring, wise, sustainable, fun, motivating, empowering “First Step” Towards Equipping Parents to be the spiritual trainers in their home!

It all starts with a“choice”

Like right now in getting in a group of 3!

“I call heaven and earth to witness that I have

set before you a choice. Life or death. The

Blessing or the curse. So choose life. You and your descendants…”

Deut. 30:19

So if you’re ready to start…

DO YOU CHOOSE…Randal House’s model? Brian Haynes Milestone model? Tim Kimmel’s Grace Based Parenting model? Kurt Bruner’s

HomePointe model? John Trent’s Model for creating a culture of The Blessing? Ryan

Rush’s Faith Breakthrough’s Model? AWANA’s new model? Etc.? Etc.?...

Or do you create your own model – because as great

as all those models are – they just

don’t seem to fit your unique

church!!

So how GET STARTED? FIRST – you made a GREAT choice in

coming to the D6 Conference! That’s because here you can actually rub shoulders and ask questions to model builders!

So meet them and apply God’s spirit and discernment in learning more about the “CHOICE” THEY set before you!

So how do you choose? SECOND – Starting means going to

work! THERE IS NO SHORT-CUT! IT’S LIKE LOOKING FOR A GREAT CAR

THAT MATCHES YOUR FAMILY’S NEEDS, YOU NEED TO lay SIDE-BY-SIDE a number of approaches, tools, methodologies, strategies… BUT – you need enough knowledge about “cars” (or models) to be able to evaluate them!

So how do you choose? THIRD – ONE way to build up a base of

knowledge SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE A GOOD CHOICE AMONG MANY is by reading what we learned at the National Innovations Alliance –

12 churches – 2 years – seeking a common language – and urging people to come up with a MODEL that worked at their church!

Where to you find all the findings on the Innovations Alliance?

Plus other handouts I’ve thrown in to try to help you!

Plus write down my email address if I can be of help to you or your church!

jtrent@strongfamilies.com

So that’s your first step… going to school to get strengthened with information to help you pray and

evaluate different models…

BUT FOR THE REST OF THIS SESSION…

HERE’S WHAT I REALLY PRAYED YOU’D SHOW UP

FOR…

 

MY GOAL IS TO TEACH YOU HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE MODEL… FOR YOUR OWN UNIQUE CHURCH

if that’s what God’s calling you to do!

For example – what if YOUR church wants to link

spiritual formation for adults AND children

together

 

1) Start by building a Family Intentionality DNA

team…

THESE ARE PEOPLE AT YOUR CHURCH YOU’RE DOING LIFE

WITH WHO BELIEVE

EVERY KID, IN EVERY HOME, DESERVES TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS

CRAZY ABOUT THEM…

 

2) Teach them Storyboarding

 

2) Teach them Storyboarding

Why?Because

storyboarding is the best tool I’ve ever

seen to take a huge, multi-piece project

and turn it into something

YOU CAN DO!

 

3) Together, YOU’RE GOING TO Storyboard out YOUR goals and

dreams for YOUR unique church’s ministry to

families… -

 

4) AND WHEN YOU’VE BUILT YOUR MODEL FOR HELPING FAMILIES and

see God do great things in the lives of parents and kids…email me at

jtrent@strongfamilies.com and let Kurt Bruner and I add YOUR model to our

list of champions and churches doing faith@home!

 

So let’s Practice!!!

Meaning – TEAM UP WITH TWO

OR THREE PEOPLE

AROUND YOU!

StoryboardingA creative tool to help

you build out a big project in a powerful

way!

The year was 1927 and Walt Disney was working with a team of six other animators to create…

Steamboat Willy!

That’s when Disney remembered DiVinci and created Storyboarding!

 

So now you know how to write a book – make a relatively stress-free move –

do your dissertation – start a new

ministry or business – or even storyboard

a wedding!

 

So let’s Practice!!!

Your TOPICDesign a

Faith@Home Program at your

church!

 

PURPOSEWhy launch a

family ministry at your church?

(more ideas the better – then

sharpen – then turn your purpose

into a run-on sentence!

 

Now what TOPPERS are the MAIN

THINGS you feel like a faith@home

program needs at YOUR church?

 

Pick ONE Topper and storyboard

it out
