Three Models Of Family And Mission
- Families often drift between 'family and mission' or 'family as mission' without integrating both intentionally.
- Jeremy argues the healthiest model is 'family on mission' where the whole team plays together towards a shared scoreboard.

- Write a short family mission statement to create a clear 'scoreboard' everyone can rally around.
- Use that statement to align daily choices and measure whether your team is scoring toward shared goals.
Early Years: Discipleship And House Churches
- Jeremy recalls their early mission phrased as 'make disciples, grow the body and release the fivefold ministry.'
