Many grandparents find themselves “parenting” their grandchildren or being the primary spiritual influence in the lives of their grandchildren and they are looking for help. Pastor Mark Holmen surveyed over 200 grandparents and asked, “What is preventing you from being a spiritual influence in the lives of your adult children and grandchildren?” What surfaced were two tactics and five specific roadblocks that Satan uses to keep grandparents out of the game as spiritual influences in the lives of the children and children’s children. Pastor Mark then asked grandparents to provide practical ways they have overcome these roadblocks and tactics which he then reveals. Faith @Home Grandparents identifies the problems grandparent face and provides practical solutions, that other grandparents have used, to become effective spiritual influences in the lives of their adult children and grandchildren.

As a parent you are leaving an impression on your children that is going to last them their lifetime. The question becomes, what type of impression are you leaving and is that impression going to lead them towards or away from having a lasting faith in Jesus Christ? At the end of the day, the most important thing we can lead our children to have is faith in Jesus Christ because through faith in Him they can have eternal life. So, how do we lead children to have faith in Christ? That's what Pastor Holmen will reveal based on the work and research he has been doing for over 15 years. Pastor Mark's desire for parents to be "impressive" parents who succeed in leading their children to have faith in Christ is evident as he shares many practical ideas as well as personal letters at the end of each chapter written to a parent who was struggling, as all parents do, to practice this in daily life.

Faith @Home Focused Church FORWARD BY GEORGE BARNA The Faith at Home movement is changing church in North America and across the world. As more and more leaders realize that lasting, lifelong faith is less taught in Sunday school, but is mores caught and taught from parents - they are shifting their focus and resources to equip families for spiritual formation. Faith at Home Focused Church is a revision of Church + Home and is the essential blueprint for church leaders who want to make the change count eternally.
Pastors, children's workers and youth ministers and lay leaders will learn how to reestablish the home as core to discipleship, how to build bridges between church and home, and envision and implement family ministry in their church. Most of all, they will find practical tools for weaving family ministry into the DNA of their church community. |
Faith @Home Revealed
What's really happening outside of church FORWARD BY GEORGE BARNA In this book, authors Mark Holmen and Brian Siewert give us an “inside look” at some key survey results as they focus on faith practices (attitudes, desires and behaviors) of more than 6000 people who participated in the ongoing FaithLife Survey. Discover what’s truly happening outside of church - especially in the homes.
The Faith@Home movement aims to help people go from being one hour per week consumers of church to 24/7 followers of Christ. The authors believe that God wants to use His church to equip parents to be the primary influencers in the faith development of their children. Drawing on the results of their own FaithLIFE survey as well as numerous other studies, they reveal some important trends and takeaways that ministry leaders can use to give the parents in their congregations help where they need it most. |
