How can parents become the primary spiritual leaders in their kids' lives—and why is it so important?

In this Father’s Day message from our Vitals series, Pastor Eric Kuykendall shares real data from a church-wide Spiritual Health Survey and uncovers a surprising gap: While 77% of individuals are reading the Bible regularly and 88% are praying daily, only 35% of families are doing these things together.

What does that mean for your home? What’s at stake when we don’t engage spiritually as a family?

Whether you’re a dad, mom, grandparent, mentor, or even an empty nester, this sermon invites you to embrace your God-given role as the primary spiritual influence in your children’s lives. It’s not a task to outsource—it’s a privilege and responsibility that begins with you.

You’ll explore:

• Why discipleship at home matters more than ever

• How spiritual leadership starts with God’s Word and prayer

• What Ephesians 6 reveals about parenting in a spiritual war

• How to lead—even when you don’t feel equipped

Key Scriptures:
Ephesians 6:4–18 · Psalm 119 · Matthew 4 · 1 Thessalonians 2

From the Vitals Survey:
✔️ 77% read Scripture regularly
✔️ 88% pray daily
⚠️ Only 35% do so with their families

Listen in and be encouraged to lead where it matters most—because your greatest discipleship relationship may be sitting right across the dinner table.
