In Episode 12 (Season 2) of "C.A.R.s, Coffee, & Christ", the team jumps into a core value of the company: Building vehicles with our children again. In a culture where not only apprenticeship, but even parenting has been set aside, neglected, and forgotten, the team talks about the importance of retrieving both the concept and practice of vocational apprenticeship and relational mentoring, with the primary focus being on our children.

For several members of our team, working side-by-side with dad, grandpa, or another family member, was extremely formative and impactful, creating core memories and impressing identity and even future vocation on them. But this practice has mostly been lost. Due to advancement in vehicle complexity, technology that now seem to distract our children from an interest in hard work on vehicles (or from work at all), and overwhelming young people with voluminous activities and experiences, children are missing out on the opportunity of creating memories with their family and the importance of learning to build.

Finally, the team shifts to discuss how the concept of apprenticeship has been embedded into our very nature. To be human means to need apprenticeship. We see this in the ministry of Jesus, as He calls His first two sets of disciples (Matt. 4:18-22). He calls them from one apprenticeship (fishing with dad), to one like it, but greater (fishers of men with God). In the Kingdom of God, knowledge alone is not sufficient to grow – apprenticeship is necessary to flourish, and every disciple must grow into a mentor to build other people, into disciples who do the same.
