Can a podcast really help transform family life?

In this episode, Gareth talks with Adam and Amanda about how their church used the Famalam podcast as the starting point for a parenting movement that has encouraged families to build their lives around Jesus. What began as listening together has grown into Sabbath rhythms, parenting workshops, school events, and intergenerational gatherings that are helping parents put faith into practice at home.

Adam and Amanda share how they adapted simple ideas from the podcast into practical resources for families, creating opportunities for parents, children, and grandparents to grow in faith together. They explain why keeping spiritual practices simple, accessible, and intentional has helped families engage without feeling overwhelmed.

The conversation explores how churches can better support parents through family discipleship, community events, and partnerships with local schools. Adam and Amanda also discuss the value of creating spaces where parents feel encouraged rather than judged, and why authentic relationships are at the heart of helping children and young people develop lasting faith.

Whether you're a parent, church leader, children's worker, youth leader, or volunteer, this episode is full of practical ideas for helping families encounter Jesus beyond Sunday services. You'll come away inspired to think differently about faith at home, church community, and how small, intentional practices can make a lasting difference.
