Surviving Church With Children
If
you are a parent and regularly attend church you probably feel like Sunday
mornings are designed to kill you and your kids. The worship times are not favorable for naps, food, or your
child’s normal routine. Add in
some potty training woes, broken check-in computers, and the odd substitute
Sunday school teacher that you aren’t quite sure of, and you have a recipe for
disaster.

Finally,
whose responsibility is this anyway?
Should parents be the ones discipling their kids in the Gospel or is it
the church’s responsibility? Or is
it some partnership between the two? If you have attended church for any length of time I am sure
you have faced these questions.
Below
I want to highlight a podcast series Bryan Catherman of SaltyBeliever.com and I
just finished on this very topic of surviving Church with children. In this series we talk through a lot of
the topics I mentioned above. I
hope they will be of benefit to you and your family as you think about all
these issues.
Since
neither Bryan or I feel like we are experts on this topic (we are walking
through this experience with our own young kids right now) we called in an
expert. If you listen to any of
the podcasts below I highly encourage you to listen to the last two in which
Dr. Randy Stinson, The Senior Vice President for Academic Administration and
Provost of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, shares his wisdom with
us. Dr. Stinson is a good friend
and is very knowledgeable in the area of Family Ministry. He regularly teaches on Family and
Leadership at Southern Seminary and I think you will find his guidance very
helpful.
I
hope you enjoy this podcast series and that you will find some practical ways
to think about how to not only survive church with your children, but see your
children thrive in the Gospel. As
always we would love to here your feedback. Enjoy.
