Episode 209-Raising Lifelong Disciples with Matt Markins

About this sermon

This episode of The Alex McFarland Show was recorded live at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville. Alex McFarland sits down with Matt Markins, President and CEO of Awana, a global leader in child discipleship. As a leading voice in children’s ministry and discipleship research, Matt has commissioned eight major research projects since 2013, including the Barna Group study Children’s Ministry in a New Reality. He is also the co-founder of the Child Discipleship Forum and the D6 Conference. Together, Alex and Matt discuss how parents and church leaders can effectively reach and disciple children with the Gospel of Christ—both in today’s culture and around the world. This conversation offers practical insight, encouragement, and a renewed vision for raising the next generation in faith.
