FaithCoach

Meadowbrook Baptist Church (Discipleship Team)
Welcome to the FaithCoach podcast! We believe that parents are the head coaches when it comes to helping kids grow in their faith. The purpose of this podcast is to give you ideas you can use to coach your child’s growing faith. We believe God’s plan is to talk to our kids about our faith as we go about the daily routines of life. Therefore, our focus is to give you tips and tools you can fit in with the routines you already have. You are the head coach; we are here to assist! Together we can coach your child’s growing faith! FaithCoach is a ministry of Meadowbrook Baptist Church and is hosted by Amy Castello (Family Pastor), Marshall Simpson (Student Pastor) and Marcy Smith (Children's Pastor).
