As I watched I certainly thought a lot about my kids, but I was struck with how well Paul and Elyse articulate the essential approach to making disciples - a relationship of love whereby I communicate the character and knowledge of God to someone else. Just about everywhere they reference "parent" and "child" you could substitute "discipler" and "disciple" respectively.

The Gospel, God's Love, and Family
A friend recently shared this video with me. It is a 20 minute "round-table" discussion about the Gospel, God's love, and family. Much of what they discuss is in the context of parent-child relationships, but I am convinced most of what they say can and should apply to our relationships in our church family. And by "church family" I do mean family because that is what the church should be - a spiritual family united in Jesus.
