D6 Family Ministry

One of the things I love to do is to serve local churches. I get to do that daily by training future church leaders. But I also like to help train current church workers. Looking forward to this event coming up soon:

It’s time to stop doing #discipleship the way we’ve always done it. Start doing it backward. Backward Discipleship releases today and is landing in mailboxes and on doorsteps everywhere. Have you ordered your copy?

Some faith fades quietly over time. Some exit after middle or high school. That should concern every leader and parent. Backward Discipleship offers a clearer path forward. Be among the first to read it and grab a free sample chapter. tinyurl.com/D6-BackwardDis…

👏🏼 Thankful for our D6 Curriculum writers

This book helps you plan backwards for the destination ahead. Dr. Hunter uses the faith-forging five approach to help you reconnect what was never meant to be separated: the church and the home, belief and daily practice, and parents and spiritual family.

“God’s desire is to turn the hearts of parents to their children and children to their parents. Generational discipleship begins with hearts turning toward one another.” —Lissy Bailey @visionaryfam 📍D6 Conference Northwest 2026

“If our God is a global God, then we must live as disciples with a global vision and raise disciples with a global vision.” —Carissa Potter, Director of Via Families 📍D6 Conference Northwest 2026

Backward planning is found all throughout Scripture. We must also backward plan for our kids in discipleship because the end matters. Preorder Dr. @ronhunter’s new book, “Backward Discipleship.” 📍D6 Conference Northwest 2026 bit.ly/4aEwxGv

D6 Family Ministry CEO, @ronhunter, shared how to backward plan for discipleship. He used “the faith-forging five” to explain how discipleship happens in daily rhythms, but it has to be intentional. Think with the end in mind. 📍D6 Conference Northwest 2026

It was so great to hear from Jana Magruder as she shares Lifeway recent studies and trends about teens and kids. She encouraged church leaders to “Flip the Script” to reach the next generation. 📍D6 Conference Northwest 2026

“Discipling families is not one team’s assignment. It’s the calling of the whole church.” —Dr JJ Jones 📍D6 Conference Northwest 2026 | Reimagining Church As Family Panel
