Dave and Sydney Clayton share a practical framework for aiming discipleship efforts at the family, outlining five key principles—get away, set goals, establish guardrails, build community, and embrace your role as spiritual guide. They mix personal stories, concrete examples, and long-term vision for raising kids who know and follow Jesus.
This episode offers simple next steps to apply in any season: take time away to hear God, set small measurable goals, protect your family with boundaries, create a discipling community, and consistently guide your children with humility and intentionality.
