WHERE DO YOU START in making a God-Honoring, wise, sustainable, fun, motivating, empowering “First Step” Towards
Equipping Parents to be the spiritual trainers in their home!

It all starts with a“choice”

Like right now in getting in a group of 3!

“I call heaven and earth to witness that I have set before you a choice. Life or death.
The Blessing or the curse. So choose life. You and your descendants…”
Deut. 30:19

So if you’re ready to start…

DO YOU CHOOSE…
Randal House’s model? Brian Haynes
Milestone model? Tim Kimmel’s Grace
Based Parenting model? Kurt Bruner’s
HomePointe model? John Trent’s Model for creating a culture of The Blessing?
Ryan Rush’s Faith Breakthrough’s Model?
AWANA’s new model? Etc.? Etc.?...

Or do you create your
own model – because as great as all those models are – they just don’t seem to fit your unique church!!

So how GET STARTED?


FIRST – you made a GREAT choice in coming to the D6 Conference! That’s because here you can actually rub shoulders and ask questions to model builders!
So meet them and apply God’s spirit and discernment in learning more about the
“CHOICE” THEY set before you!

So how do you choose?


SECOND – Starting means going to work!
THERE IS NO SHORT-CUT!
IT’S LIKE LOOKING FOR A GREAT CAR THAT
MATCHES YOUR FAMILY’S NEEDS, YOU
NEED TO lay SIDE-BY-SIDE a number of approaches, tools, methodologies, strategies… BUT – you need enough knowledge about “cars” (or models) to be able to evaluate them!

So how do you choose?


THIRD – ONE way to build up a base of knowledge SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE A
GOOD CHOICE AMONG MANY is by reading what we learned at the National
Innovations Alliance –
12 churches – 2 years – seeking a common language – and urging people to come up with a MODEL that worked at their church!

Where to you find all the findings on the Innovations
Alliance?

Plus other handouts I’ve thrown in to try to help you!
Plus write down my email address if I can be of help to you or your church!
jtrent@strongfamilies.com

So that’s your first step… going to school to get strengthened with information to help you pray and evaluate different models…

BUT FOR THE REST OF
THIS SESSION… HERE’S
WHAT I REALLY
PRAYED YOU’D SHOW
UP FOR…

MY GOAL IS TO TEACH
YOU HOW TO CREATE
YOUR OWN UNIQUE
MODEL… FOR YOUR
OWN UNIQUE CHURCH if that’s what God’s calling you to do!

For example – what if YOUR church wants to link spiritual formation for adults AND children together

1) Start by building a Family
Intentionality DNA team…
THESE ARE PEOPLE AT YOUR
CHURCH YOU’RE DOING LIFE
WITH WHO BELIEVE
EVERY KID, IN EVERY HOME,
DESERVES TO KNOW THAT
JESUS IS CRAZY ABOUT THEM…

2) Teach them
Storyboarding

2) Teach them Storyboarding
Why ?
Because storyboarding is the best tool I’ve ever seen to take a huge, multi-piece project and turn it into something
YOU CAN DO!

3) Together, YOU’RE GOING
TO Storyboard out YOUR goals and dreams for YOUR unique church’s ministry to families… -

4) AND WHEN YOU’VE BUILT
YOUR MODEL FOR HELPING
FAMILIES and see God do great things in the lives of parents and kids…email me at jtrent@strongfamilies.com
and let
Kurt Bruner and I add YOUR model to our list of champions and churches doing faith@home!

A creative tool to help you build out a big project in a powerful way!

The year was 1927 and Walt
Disney was working with a team of six other animators to create…
Steamboat Willy!

That’s when Disney remembered
DiVinci and created
Storyboarding!

So now you know how to write a book – make a relatively stress-free move – do your dissertation – start a new ministry or business – or even storyboard a wedding!

PURPOSE
Why launch a family ministry at your church?
(more ideas the better – then sharpen – then turn your purpose into a runon sentence!

Now what TOPPERS are the MAIN THINGS you feel like a faith@home program needs at YOUR church?
