Lessons from the Trenches - Church Planting with Young ChildrenLessons from the Trenches - Church Planting with Young Children

In the second part of this conversation, Kyle and Christina Kroger, full-time missionaries with Taproot Church at the University of Texas at San Antonio, talk about planting a church while raising a young family. They reflect on the hard and good parts of combining family life and ministry, from childcare and housing to showing the love of Christ through their home.

The Krogers talk about how their family-centered approach affects college students, why community partnerships matter and how to balance counseling with multiplying disciples. They share practical advice for anyone considering ministry with a family and lessons from their years of service. The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer shaped the Krogers' approach to rest and Sabbath; you can find it on Amazon.

The Nate Land Podcast offers light-hearted, clean comedy that Christina finds refreshing amidst the challenges of ministry. You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts.

The Addictive Brain by Thad Polk, an Audible Great Courses audiobook, helped Kyle understand the science of addiction and habits.

Anchored Hope Counseling, an online counseling platform, has been a lifeline for Christina, offering convenience and Christ-centered support. Learn more at their website.
