What the Church Gets Wrong About Children’s & Youth Ministry - Dr. Josh Mulvihill

Описание: Christian parents often assume their church’s children and youth ministries are solid—but what if that assumption is wrong?

Aby Rinella talks with Dr. Josh Mulvihill, executive director of Church and Family Ministry at Renewanation, about why parents must be actively discerning about what their kids are being taught at church—including in a very popular Sunday school curriculum that may be in your church. They discuss troubling research on biblical worldview among children’s pastors, the dangers of outsourcing discipleship, and why curriculum alone is not enough.

Dr. Mulvihill challenges parents to know:

What curriculum their church uses
Whether leaders actually hold a biblical worldview
If teachers are living out their faith beyond Sunday morning

This conversation is not about fear—it’s about responsibility. Parents are called to shepherd their children’s hearts and minds, even (and especially) within the church.

👉 Key takeaway: If you’re sending your kids to children’s or youth ministry, you need to be involved, informed, and discerning.
