Voddie Baucham’s Family Driven Faith is as challenging to the local church, the idea of “youth ministry”, as it is to my family.
The theme repeated throughout the book is that it’s my job as a parent to disciple my children. Matthew 28:19-20 says “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Dr. Baucham repeatedly talks about the importance of making sure discipleship is happening within the home.
Dr. Baucham has challeneged the established order within our home encouraging us to adopt a family worship time. It’s interesting to think through what this could look like, and how it might shape our family.
There is still a lot to think about, but right out of the box this is a book to recommend that all Christians should get their hands on.
