Experience How It Works

Our Vibrant Faith research points to an important shift in how we support and equip parents in their primary role as faith-nurturers in their kids’ lives… Parents, just like the first disciples, learn best when they’re “on the way” with Jesus. That means we need simple, creative prompts that deepen parents’ faith, and give them easy ways to influence their kids’ faith, that “land” in their everyday rhythms of life…

That’s exactly what these short Parable Partners audio files are designed to do—simply drop into parents’ everyday life via email, text, or social media. Each one-minute audio experience immerses parents in the core takeaway of a parable Jesus told, and offers them practical, creative ways to live out that truth in their parenting relationship with their kids. While Parable Partners are intended for parents to listen to, then follow through on the creative parenting ideas in simple ways, some parents may enjoy listening to them together with their kids. The simple engagement ideas are flexible, and can be morphed to any environment.
