Kids Who Own Their Faith for Life | Dr. Josh Mulvihill

More than 60% of children who grow up in church will walk away from it in their young adult years, according to Barna. Why is this happening—and what can be done to reverse the trend? Dr. Josh Mulvihill, Executive Director of Church and Family Ministry at RenewaNation, joins us to unpack the root of the crisis: a breakdown in biblical discipleship. He shares a compelling vision for how families, churches, and schools can work together to raise children with resilient, gospel-centered worldviews—and why it starts with parents and grandparents reclaiming their God-given role’s as the primary disciplers.

Main Topics:

1. The Discipleship Disconnect – Why many Christian parents now believe it’s the church’s job to disciple their kids
2. The Three-Stranded Cord – How family, church, and education can align to build a strong biblical foundation
3. The Power of Grandparents – Why grandparents are overlooking their vital biblical role in passing down faith to future generations

Raising gospel-centered families isn’t about perfection—it’s about faithfulness, and the courage to make your home the frontlines of spiritual formation.
