About this episode
Adam Griffin, Chelsea Griffin, and Cassie Bryant are joined by Zack Eswine to discuss what family discipleship looks like in the Eswine home. Questions Covered in This Episode: Could you tell us a little about your family and your ministry? What resources shape you in parenting? Being a pastor and a father, where do you see your roles of leadership overlapping? Would you share some of your favorite moments of Christian conversations in your home? What do you mean by “double love”? What was it like being a parent of a “prodigal child,” and where did you find comfort in the Lord? What scriptures do you lean on in your role as a father? How can parents fight that temptation to be great or acknowledged either by a spouse, their children, or other parents? What can you say to the discouraged parent who wants to lead well, but right now, Jesus just doesn’t seem lovely? Can you unpack the temptation for us to be everywhere for everybody all at once and how it connects to the temptation for parents to do everything right all the time? Can you think of times when things did not go “according to plan” in the Eswine home? What role has the church played in coming alongside your family as you’ve discipled them? How did your family navigate the anti-Christian culture around your family or prepare your kids for it? Where do you find or look for joy in leading your family to follow God? What are some ways that we can pray for you? Guest Bio: Zack Eswine is the pastor at Riverside Church .
