About this episode
Adam Griffin, Chelsea Griffin, and Cassie Bryant are joined by Andy Crouch to talk about what family discipleship looked like in the Crouch household and how commitments around technology played a part in that. Questions Covered in This Episode: If I asked one of your family members to describe you, what kind of things do you think they would say, and, if it’s different, what kind of things would you hope they would say? What did following Christ as a family look like for y’all? What were the rhythms of discipleship for you as a dad? How did being a dad impact the way you view God as our Heavenly Father? What scriptures did y’all lean into as you thought about what your hopes were for your family? Would you be willing to share about any times that were particularly difficult for you as you led your home toward Christ? Why is it so important for families to be conscientious about technology? Can you talk about how waking up before devices and going to bed before devices worked and why you recommend that? Were any of these commitments around technology ever points of contention for your kids or did they accept them easily? What are some ways that we can pray for you?
