Brent and Katie Kruithof, experts in Biblical celebrations, share insights on intentionally integrating the seven Biblical holidays into family life. They discuss how these festivals, linked to Jesus, enrich children's understanding of God's story. From unique Christmas practices to the significance of Passover, they highlight engaging ways families can celebrate these holidays. Their personal anecdotes and traditions inspire listeners to foster deeper spiritual connections and community through purposeful celebrations.

Today Jeremy and April discuss one big change they've made in their discipleship model that has turned each of their disciples into disciple-makers themselves, which has created a reproductive, "multi-generational" effect, creating tons of new disciples and disciple-makers.
