As you go discipleship

The term "as you go" means you can use your everyday rhythms as cues to be intentional about discipling your kids.
Every family has these 4 rhythms: Morning Time, Drive Time, Meal Time, and Bed Time.
Whether you have younger kids or older kids, here are some ideas for using the content on this page as a tool to help you win at
discipling your kids as you go throughout your everyday life.

LittleLIFE

god is greater than anything

Space stretches farther than we can travel. It’s filled with stars, planets, and endless wonder, but God is beyond even that!
Through our stories this month, kids will see that God’s power, mercy, and holiness go beyond every fear, mistake, or obstacle.
God has me, holds me, and fights for me. Israel often forgot the mercy and justice of our perfect God.
In the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal, we see God as greater than every false hope.
In the story of Jonah, we see God’s mercy far greater than Jonah’s desire for judgment.
The basis for our comfort and confidence is His greatness.
What a kind reminder this month of how great our God is.
God is beyond all creation, all limits, and anything we could ever face!

Monthly Memory Verse:

"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His
greatness is unsearchable." (Psalm 145:3)

56LIFE

A series on God's Kingdom

Jesus ushered the kingdom of God to earth—a kingdom so utterly unlike ours. As believers, we now live between clashing kingdoms: the temporary kingdom of this world and the coming kingdom of God, of which we're already citizens. To help us understand the way of God's kingdom, Jesus taught parables. A time is coming when God's kingdom will be revealed fully. Because we know our King-and because we are known and loved by Him—we can walk in hope until He returns. We can endure persecution because our King endured the worst of it. We can face physical pain and sickness because our King will heal us, if not here, there. We can face death and sorrow because our King entered into our suffering, wept over sin's effects, and redeemed us from the grave by lying in one made of stone. Our King offered Himself as broken bread and poured out wine, instituting a new covenant, where the Word is written on our hearts and the Holy Spirit seals us for eternity. Until then, we live with open eyes, alert and ready for Jesus's return. And when the world asks the reason for our hope, we can tell our story: "I was blind, and now I can see!" (John 9:25).

StudentLIFE

A series on worship

Have you ever stood in awe of a natural wonder—like a pristine glacier, a golden sunset, or the vast ocean—and been
amazed by its beauty? Moments like these remind us of the incredible God who created it all. So, what would it look like
to live every day in awe of our Creator? In this series from the book of Psalms, we’ll explore what it means to
worship—not just with songs or prayers, but with the way we live. Our lives are shaped by our response to the wonder
of who God is, and we’ll see that we worship because God is holy, God provides, God is faithful, and God can heal.

Monthly Verse:

"Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have
done wonderful things, things planned long ago." — Isaiah 25:1 (NIV)

Our #1 Parenting Resource:

Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.

  • Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
  • Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
  • Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
  • We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
