Episode notes
The 18-Year Window Felt Personal
- Jerrad noticed a graph showing most parent-child interaction happens in the first 18 years and it made him emotional.
- He realized physical time with kids declines rapidly after they leave the home and that shaped his focus on home discipleship.
Home As The Primary Training Ground
- Discipleship mostly occurs within the four walls of your home through daily rhythms and ordinary moments.
- Jerrad calls the home sacred ground and a primary training place for spiritual formation.
Take A 30-Minute Prayer Walk
- Do find 30 minutes when the house is quiet and walk through each room to pray over it.
- Do pray specifically for each space because these walls are where spiritual battles and formation often occur.
