Head, Heart, Hands: Teaching for Life Change. For decades church leaders have operated under the presumption that if those in the pews just “knew” how to be an effective disciples of Jesus Christ, that would change the world. Adult educators, however, know differently. It’s not what we know, it’s what we put into practice that counts. This week, Drs. Kris and Bill explore effective adult discipleship that results in life changing practices.
It’s not now, nor has it ever been, the church’s job to make disciples out of children. From the beginning, that task has fallen to the parents.

Kris and Bill offer specific tips and tools for helping your church leaders train parents to disciple their children.
