On this episode, Dr. Cooper is back, and he shares about his experience as a dad and how he realized that every moment is a discipleship moment. He opens up and talks about how they brought their kids with them on trips and missions opportunities and how those times bore lasting fruit. We also talk about how we don’t need to travel to the ends of the earth with our kids to seize disciple-making moments. It can happen even as we are scooping snow or serving our neighbors.
