It all starts with the “Book of Faith” and I would love to see us all get back to it. It’s real, relevant, and needed in today’s world more than ever.
I have learned it is very helpful for a congregation to:

1. Become much more intentional then we have been in the past about placing the Bible in the hands of all ages.
2. Provide opportunities to read Scripture, learn it, and apply it every week in the congregation. Then set expectations to practice the same every night in every home.
3. Place tools in the hands of parents, encourage them, and uplift them as primary faith role models for their children.
4. Provide opportunities for all ages to share stories about where they feel God is at work in their lives. Hearing the stories of the people will change the way you do ministry.

Times are changing. If we want to grow the kingdom, it’s going to take lots of help!

When musician and songwriter Nate Houge heard Faith Inkubators was looking for Bible verses in song for the 120 theme “Bible Song” curriculum, he sat down with his friend Rachel Kurtz and knocked a dozen fresh works out in one sitting.

“He’s prolific!” says Rich Melheim, founder of the Faith Inkubators Music Guild, “and a lot of fun, too.”
