7 Practical Objections to Family-Integrated Worship
Is family-integrated worship simply “too hard” to work in real life?
In this episode, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm are joined by Carlton McLeod to answer seven practical objections to families worshiping together in the local church. What about disruptive children? Can parents really listen while managing little ones? Drawing on decades of pastoral experience, they discuss how young children can be trained to participate in worship as families grow together in the meeting of the church.
We must not let perceived “difficulty” drive our approach, they explain, but let God’s Word reframe our focus: Worship is not a product we consume; it’s the church offering herself to God in the way He’s prescribed — which involves families, young and old, worshiping side by side.

Tune in to this new podcast as Justin applies the timeless wisdom of God’s Word to the very real challenges of parenting today. How do you raise difficult children, God’s way?

When a Father Opens the Bible, Everything Changes
What happens when a father opens the Bible and makes the worship of God a fixed priority in his home?
Hosts Scott Brown and Jason Dohm are joined by Joel Beeke to discuss the recovery of family worship and the profound influence it can have across generations. Drawing from his own childhood and decades of teaching on the subject, Beeke encourages dads to keep it simple: read the Word, discuss it with your children, sing, and pray. Their encouragement is this: Like a “steady dripping,” ten or fifteen faithful minutes each morning or evening will shape a child’s heart as God and His Word are made the center of daily life.
