They contrast program-heavy solutions with face-to-face mentoring and Titus 2 style coaching.

Episode notes
Churches Neglect Practical Intergenerational Discipleship
- Churches lack practical intergenerational discipleship, leaving younger parents without applied 'sexed piety' skills.
- Brian argues most sanctification is lived in daily household duties, so elders must pivot from only doctrinal teaching to hands-on formation.
Older Advice Often Fails Because Circumstances Changed
- Economic and social changes mean older men's advice (work harder, same timeline) often doesn't translate for younger generations.
- Brian cites housing and wage shifts over 15–40 years as concrete examples requiring updated counsel.
Program Overload Undermines Family Formation
- Program-heavy church models (youth groups, fragmented schedules) often undermine family discipleship by pulling parents and children into separate tracks.
- Eric and Brian link high program loads to higher apostasy and weaker household formation.
