Statistics show 50% of people who profess Christianity in Australia are no longer connected to a church, with thousands of young people leaving the faith each year.
Drawing from Deuteronomy's call to impress the ways of God on the hearts of the next generation, this message is a rallying cry for parents, grandparents and the church community to prioritise activities and create spaces that inspire the younger generation to confidently embrace their identity in Christ.
Pat provides simple but powerful ways for every believer to be fruitful and multiply disciples in their daily lives. He outlines the "Blessed" framework of life practices - Bless others in prayer, Listen to their stories, Share a meal together, Serve them in love, and Share your own story of faith. This is a practical strategy for engaging those around us with the truth of the gospel through authentic relationship.
Pat also unpacks how the church is launching key initiatives like a rites of passage program for pre-teen girls, a discipleship track for high schoolers, and partnerships with local schools. These represent a multi-pronged approach to support parents in the critical mission of imparting spiritual foundations.
