Foreword

Within these pages is a clear plan to help kids, love God, mature their faith in Jesus, and stay in the church. Brett Levy is part of a growing movement of God that is helping parents and ministry leaders understand the best model for the spiritual formation of young people is when the church and family team up to intentionally focus on raising young Christ followers who build a firm foundation of faith and take that vibrant faith into their adult years.

I think one of the most positive movements in the church today is an emphasis on living out an authentic life of integrity through family ministry. We are seeing a major focus in family ministry of the church and parents are beginning to see the importance of being intentional with faith development in the home. All research shows when parents focus on discipling their own children, there is a much better chance of kids staying in the church. Not to mention the practical side of less drug and alcohol abuse, better grades, and less confusion about their sexuality.

This book is filled with his personal stories that make the book so relatable and even fun to read. Brett weaves in great practical ideas with biblical examples, prayer examples, and other spiritual disciplines throughout the book. From the beginning he brings his life experiences in front of us and some of them, well, just made me laugh out loud. He was raised by a single mom who taught him how to throw a baseball and now he throws like a 30-something woman with minimal baseball experience. And you will have read the book to find out what he forgot to bring on his honeymoon.
