Timing Is Everything

Sep 17, 2017    Matt Santen

In the opening message of the Modern Family series, Pastor Matt shares a powerful and deeply personal story about the faith of 17-year-old Luke Granger, whose short life pointed to a faith that was real, resilient, and heaven-focused. Luke’s legacy launches a broader conversation about parenting with purpose—not just managing behavior, but discipling our children toward a genuine relationship with Jesus. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, the message reminds us that we’re always discipling our kids—whether we mean to or not. The challenge is to be intentional: to model faith, talk about it in everyday life, and create rhythms that shape hearts. Whether you’re a parent or not, the invitation is clear—help raise a generation whose faith is their own.
