About this episode

The episode discusses the concept of family-integrated worship in the church with insights from Pastor Ben Seewald.

Scripture models a family-integrated church. Not youth church, old church, or middle-aged church— but one family growing together. That’s the pattern throughout God’s Word ( Deut. 31:11-13; Eph. 6:1–4). Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm discuss this biblical picture with Pastor Ben Seewald . Ben has not only led a long-established Southern Baptist church to drop age-segregated worship for this approach , but has worked with his wife Jessa to trai n their six children to participate in weekly corporate worship. Yes, t here have been awkward moments—for his family and others — but seeing every generation stretched and growing together has brought him great joy .
