A Parent’s Guide to Children’s and Youth Ministry | Biblical Discernment for Christian Families

Children’s and youth ministry has become the default approach in many churches, but few parents stop to ask what role it should actually play in the discipleship of their children. In this episode, Josh and Jen Mulvihill walk through the history of age-based ministry and explain the different forms it has taken over the years.

They offer a clear, Scripture-centered framework to help parents think carefully about children’s and youth ministry without dismissing its value. You will learn how family-first discipleship shapes healthy engagement with the church, why corporate worship matters, and how ministries should function as a supplement rather than a replacement.

This conversation equips parents to ask better questions, stay engaged, and take responsibility for the spiritual formation of their children. It is practical, thoughtful, and grounded in biblical priorities that help families navigate church life with confidence and clarity.
