  • Yay for a new season!

    This podcast energizes me + makes me even more excited for what God can do with a family and some intentionality. So grateful to get to listen in on these thoughtful conversations.

  • Can’t wait for season 2!

    2025 Update: A podcast that even the ads are enjoyable?! That’s right. This podcast is packed full of tips, resources, admonishments, encouragements - you will grow as a parent and your family will grow in Christ-likeness through the topics discussed on this podcast.

    Binged this podcast after I found it around Christmas (I was searching for different perspectives on how to do “Santa” in our home). Anxiously waiting for season 2 to drop! Such wisdom shared in each podcast episode.

  • So thankful for FDP!

    I’m a long-time listener and frequent recommender of this podcast. I always walk away encouraged with helpful ideas to consider for the discipleship of my own family. I was recently so blessed by the Mother’s Day interview as I need reminders of the freedom we have in Christ and the blessing that children are as I prepare for the arrival of my third baby. Thank you Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie for your ministry!

  • Calling me forward!

    My wife & I love this podcast. More than anything, just hearing the personal examples from the lives of the hosts and guests really just calls us forward in our walks with Christ and our desire to love/lead our family well! So grateful!

    With that, kind of a random question, but… when will guys be putting out a curriculum or work book for some of these things? I’d love to see y’all (with your infinite free time) create a resource similar to the Deep Discipleship Program but for parents/spouses!!... more

  • So good!!!

    I have loved this podcast for a while now, but this season on marriage has been particularly helpful. I feel like the topics are so common to marriages, but not what is commonly talked about. It’s given language for things that we’ve needed to discuss. Thank you so much for all the wisdom you’ve shared!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#138 – How to Fix "Church vs. Home" Kids Ministry with Marty Machowski
Q: Where should a pastor or church start if they want to adopt this home-and-church discipleship model?
He suggests starting with lightweight, Advent-focused curriculums to cast vision, involve families, and build a sustainable rhythm, then scale up as the church and families grow more aligned.
#138 – How to Fix "Church vs. Home" Kids Ministry with Marty Machowski
Q: What has being a family pastor taught you about the challenges parents face in leading their kids spiritually?
Marty explains that while parents want to disciple their children, there is a big gap between desire and actually knowing how to do it. He emphasizes practical strategies, resources, and modeling, including sharing a unified curriculum approach and family devotion routines that align with church teaching.
#136 – Raising Kids with Christian Courage with Sinclair Ferguson
Q: What do you see as important for the spiritual leadership of a home?
Parents need to rear their children to outthink their peers in a culture that lacks clarity, and live in a way that shows they are grounded in their faith.
#136 – Raising Kids with Christian Courage with Sinclair Ferguson
Q: What inspires you to write a children's book about John Knox?
I wanted to bring the whole gospel to children, showing them the stories of heroes of the faith like John Knox, who exemplified courage and faith.
#135 – God's Colorful Kingdom with Dr. Esau McCaulley
Q: How are you as a dad discipling your family to say, this is the very heart of God?
I engage my children in discussions about their experiences in school, especially regarding respect and dignity for everyone.
