There Is No Junior Holy Spirit | The Secret to Raising Disciples | Focal Point Church
Episode notes
Welcome to the Focal Point Podcast: Real Talk. Real Faith. from Focal Point Church in Orlando, Florida.
Every generation wonders how to raise children who genuinely love Jesus.
In this episode of the Focal Point Podcast, Tony and Brianna sit down with Pastor Stacy as she reflects on 13 years of children's ministry, what she's learned about discipling kids, and why God is leading her into a new season.
From miracle stories and family discipleship to technology, busy schedules, and trusting God through life's biggest transitions, this conversation is full of wisdom for parents, ministry leaders, volunteers, and anyone navigating change.
One of the biggest takeaways?
There is no junior Holy Spirit.
Children aren't the future church—they're part of God's Kingdom today.
If you've ever wondered how to help your kids follow Jesus, or you're walking through a season where God is asking you to trust Him, this conversation is for you.
