Join Matthew Wilbanks, youth minister at Trinity Baptist Church in Texarkana, AR, and Tim Rose, youth pastor at First Odessa in Odessa, TX, as they discuss family discipleship as the Bible teaches.

Preparing for Disruption

February 18, 2025 • Matthew Wilbanks and Tim Rose • Episode 111

Jesus makes it plain to His disciples that following Him will cause disruption. The world is against God wholeheartedly, and this affects every household to the smallest point of contention. Why would Jesus say He does not bring peace? In this episode, Tim and Matt talk about why this idea is important to keep in mind as parents search the Scriptures for what God says they should do. Along with this, Tim gives two resources that will add to parents' understanding of how to prepare for any disruption that may come their way.
