Your church has a biblical calling and responsibility to equip and strengthen families. Does your church have a family ministry action plan? In this special edition of Family Vision, Rob Rienow shares a powerful conversation from the D6 Podcast. Whether your church is just catching the vision for family discipleship or looking to go deeper, this episode will give you practical tools and theological clarity to build a family-equipping culture.

Rob unpacks why family ministry is not just a parenting program—but a biblical call to equip every believer to live out their faith first in the home. You’ll also learn how to start strong, how to avoid burnout, and how to make family discipleship more than just a trend. From pastors struggling with their own families to parents overwhelmed by family worship, this is an encouraging, hope-filled conversation you don’t want to miss.

- How to build your church’s theology of family ministry

- Why family ministry is about more than parenting programs
