| "Equipping
Parents to Become Disciple-Makers: The 3 "T's" "
The Children's Ministry
Academy was very fortunate to sit down with Dr. Timothy Paul Jones
recently to discuss strategies for equipping parents to become
the primary disciple-makers in their children's lives.
After fourteen years in vocational
ministry, Timothy now serves as editor of The Journal of Family
Ministry and Associate Professor of Leadership and Church Ministry
at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
In this interview clip, Dr. Jones
outlines his "3 T" model (Telling, Training, Time) for
working with parents. Research suggests that 75% of parents have
never been TOLD that they need to become the primary disciple-makers
in their children's lives. For the parents who do understand their
role, very few feel they have had the proper TRAINING to properly
influence and educate their children. Finally, Dr. Jones suggests
that churches take caution when packing their calendar with church
related events. An extremely busy church calendar can sometimes
mean that parents don't have enough TIME to spend focused on discipleship
of their children.
