Dad and Lad Podcast
Dr. Lawson Murray and his son, Jonathan discuss faith formation at home and at church. Listen as this dad and lad discuss Children’s Ministry, Family Ministry, Faith Formation at Home and how to connect children (and families) with Jesus and His Story.
How do we connect children and families with Jesus and His Story?
Dr. Lawson Murray sits down with his son, Jonathan Murray (father of 2 young children) to discuss parenting, children’s ministry, family ministry, life and faith.
If you’re a parent with a desire for your child to know Jesus Christ and have wondered “what can I do to give my child a lasting faith” this is for you.
If you’re a children’s ministry leader wondering “how can I better support and encourage the families in my congregation for faith formation at home” this is for you.
Listen in as dad and lad unpack what the Bible says about parenting, how to raise our children in the faith and what family ministry can (and should) look like here in Canada.
