What if your church’s parent ministry became the place families pointed to and said, “That’s where everything changed for us”? In this eye-opening episode, host Stacy Bellward sits down with Dr. Cindy Wilson, Connected Families Director of Education, Equipping, and Research, and Joe Dewey, Connected Families Director of Operations, two people who are also living out our Ministry Partnership Program inside their own churches. They pull back the curtain on what it really looks like when a church goes “all in” on equipping parents, the surprising cultural shifts that happen, and the simple first steps any ministry leader can take. Whether you’re a parent who wishes your church offered something deeper, a children’s ministry director hungry for trusted resources, or a school administrator searching for a unifying framework, this conversation will give you both the vision and the practical roadmap. Press play and discover how your church or school can become a place where families don’t just survive parenting, they thrive through it. Key Takeaways: Every church needs a parenting champion.
