   Building a Family Life Around Jesus | Live at New Wine 2026

   How do you build a family life that's genuinely centred on Jesus in the middle of busy, everyday life? Recorded live at New Wine Festival 2026, Gareth, Lizzy, Daisy, Toby and Lucy answer questions from families about parenting, faith, discipleship, and creating a home where children can grow to know and love Jesus. Drawing on their own successes, mistakes, and experiences, they share practical ideas that any family can start using today. Together they explore how everyday rhythms can shape faith, why children learn most from what they see modelled at home, and how parents can intentionally create moments that point their family towards Jesus. They also discuss raising teenagers, balancing busy schedules, building strong church community, and helping children develop a personal faith that lasts into adulthood. With plenty of audience questions, laughter, and honest reflections, this live recording offers encouragement for parents at every stage of family life and reminds us that discipleship happens in ordinary moments as much as extraordinary ones.

   Pastor's Kids Takeover: The Joys, Pressures & Funny Stories

   What is it really like growing up as a pastor's kid? This time, Gareth and Lizzy step back as the kids take over the podcast to share their own experiences of life in a ministry family. Joining them are Daisy's fiancé Ayomi and Lucy's boyfriend JP, who are also PKs. From funny childhood memories and embarrassing church moments to honest reflections on faith, family, and growing up in the spotlight, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the realities of being a pastor's kid. They talk about the unexpected perks of church life, the pressures that can come with being part of a ministry family, and the people and experiences that helped shape their faith. They also reflect on how their parents modelled faith, why church became a place of belonging rather than obligation, and the importance of involving children in church life without placing unrealistic expectations on them. Along the way, they share practical encouragement for parents in ministry, church leaders, and young people finding their own faith journey. Whether you're a pastor's kid, raising children in church leadership, or simply interested in authentic conversations about faith and family, this episode is full of laughter, honesty, and hope.

   Pastor's Kids Part 3: Raising Children in Ministry | Rich & Kath Johnson

   How can church leaders raise children who love Jesus without feeling crushed by the pressures of ministry? In the third episode of our Pastor's Kids series, Gareth, Lizzy and Toby are joined by Rich and Kath Johnson to explore what it means to raise children while leading a church. Drawing on years of ministry and family life, they share honest stories, practical wisdom, and encouragement for parents seeking to build a healthy home while serving others. Rich and Kath discuss the unique opportunities and challenges of raising children in a church leadership family. From funny moments to navigating church conflict, confidentiality, and public expectations, they reflect on how ministry can shape family life—for better and for worse. The conversation explores how parents can create healthy boundaries between church and home, protect quality family time, and help children develop a genuine faith of their own. They also discuss the importance of trusted mentors, supportive church communities, and giving children space to be themselves rather than feeling pressure to live up to unrealistic expectations. Throughout the episode, Rich and Kath remind parents that perfection isn't the goal. By modelling authentic faith, admitting mistakes, and trusting God with their children's journey, ministry families can create homes where children flourish both spiritually and emotionally. Whether you're a pastor, church leader, ministry volunteer, or simply interested in raising children with a resilient faith, this episode offers practical encouragement for building healthy families while serving the local church.
