(Any problems email me at jtrent@strongFamilies.com)WHERE DO YOU START in making a God-Honoring, wise, sustainable, fun, motivating, empowering First Step Towards Equipping Parents to be the spiritual trainers in their home!

It all starts with achoice

Like right now in getting in a group of 3!

I call heaven and earth to witness that I have set before you a choice. Life or death. The Blessing or the curse. So choose life. You and your descendants

Deut. 30:19So if youre ready to startDO YOU CHOOSERandal Houses model? Brian Haynes Milestone model? Tim Kimmels Grace Based Parenting model? Kurt Bruners HomePointe model? John Trents Model for creating a culture of The Blessing? Ryan Rushs Faith Breakthroughs Model? AWANAs new model? Etc.? Etc.?...

Or do you create your own model because as great as all those models are they just dont seem to fit your unique church!!So how GET STARTED?FIRST you made a GREAT choice in coming to the D6 Conference! Thats because here you can actually rub shoulders and ask questions to model builders! So meet them and apply Gods spirit and discernment in learning more about the CHOICE THEY set before you!So how do you choose?SECOND Starting means going to work! THERE IS NO SHORT-CUT! ITS LIKE LOOKING FOR A GREAT CAR THAT MATCHES YOUR FAMILYS NEEDS, YOU NEED TO lay SIDE-BY-SIDE a number of approaches, tools, methodologies, strategies BUT you need enough knowledge about cars (or models) to be able to evaluate them!So how do you choose?THIRD ONE way to build up a base of knowledge SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE A GOOD CHOICE AMONG MANY is by reading what we learned at the National Innovations Alliance 12 churches 2 years seeking a common language and urging people to come up with a MODEL that worked at their church!Where to you find all the findings on the Innovations Alliance?www.theblessingexperience.com/D6-conference-handouts

Plus other handouts Ive thrown in to try to help you!Plus write down my email address if I can be of help to you or your church!jtrent@strongfamilies.comSo thats your first step going to school to get strengthened with information to help you pray and evaluate different models

BUT FOR THE REST OF THIS SESSION HERES WHAT I REALLY PRAYED YOUD SHOW UP FOR

MY GOAL IS TO TEACH YOU HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN UNIQUE MODEL FOR YOUR OWN UNIQUE CHURCHif thats what Gods calling you to do!For example what if YOUR church wants to link spiritual formation for adults AND children together

1) Start by building a Family Intentionality DNA team

THESE ARE PEOPLE AT YOUR CHURCH YOURE DOING LIFE WITH WHO BELIEVE

EVERY KID, IN EVERY HOME, DESERVES TO KNOW THAT JESUS IS CRAZY ABOUT THEM

2) Teach them Storyboarding

2) Teach them StoryboardingWhy?Because storyboarding is the best tool Ive ever seen to take a huge, multi-piece project and turn it into something YOU CAN DO!

3) Together, YOURE GOING TO Storyboard out YOUR goals and dreams for YOUR unique churchs ministry to families -

4) AND WHEN YOUVE BUILT YOUR MODEL FOR HELPING FAMILIES and see God do great things in the lives of parents and kidsemail me at jtrent@strongfamilies.com and let Kurt Bruner and I add YOUR model to our list of champions and churches doing faith@home!

So lets Practice!!!Meaning TEAM UP WITH TWO OR THREE PEOPLE AROUND YOU!StoryboardingA creative tool to help you build out a big project in a powerful way!The year was 1927 and Walt Disney was working with a team of six other animators to createSteamboat Willy!
