Episode 58 - Parenting Homegrown Disciples: A Conversation with David Sunde
In this special episode of Peaceable and Kind, host Derek Vreeland steps away from his ongoing Nicene Creed series for a heartfelt conversation about parenting and discipleship with author and pastor David Sunde.
David shares insights from his new book Homegrown Disciples: Parenting Rhythms for Drawing Your Kids into Life with God. Together, they reflect on what it means to raise children who don’t just attend church—but truly encounter Jesus through the ordinary, everyday rhythms of family life.
From the challenges of raising kids in a pastor’s home to the joys of grandparenting, Derek and David explore how parenting is both a spiritual practice and a sacred apprenticeship. They unpack how rhythms like compassion, generosity, gratitude, and hospitality help form children’s faith, not through perfection, but through vulnerability, honesty, and presence.
If you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver longing to disciple the next generation with authenticity and grace, this episode will leave you encouraged, inspired, and equipped.
Key Takeaways
Parenting is a sacred apprenticeship—a hands-on way of showing kids how to follow Jesus in everyday life.
Spiritual leadership in the home isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being honest and present.
Rhythms like compassion and generosity make abstract beliefs tangible for kids.
Ordinary moments—mealtime, bedtime, drive time—are powerful opportunities for spiritual formation.
Kids learn best by watching us live the faith, not just hearing us talk about it.
Discipleship starts at home, in the real, messy, beautiful rhythms of family life.
Whether you're in the trenches of toddlerhood or navigating the teen years, this episode reminds us that God is with us—forming us as we form our children.
🎧 Listen now and discover the joy of parenting with eternal purpose.
