The Church at Home and the Art of Everyday Family Faith
Called to Lead: Pastoral Leadership for Today’s Church
In this episode of Called to Lead, Dr. John Rinaldo sits down with Leif Kehrwald, a veteran practitioner, author, and coach in family and intergenerational faith formation. Drawing on his extensive work with the Center for Ministry Development and Vibrant Faith, Leif challenges the long-held paradigm that faith formation is something that only happens inside a church building or a classroom. Together, they discuss how ordinary households function as the "primary soil" for discipleship. Leif offers practical, encouraging insights on how parents can spot "moments of meaning" amidst the chaos of daily life and explains how parish leaders can pivot from merely running programs for families to authentically partnering with them.
