Chapter 3 contains practical considerations for how and why churches must equip parents to fulfill their role as the primary disciple-makers of their children.

Chapter 4 is an overview of the implementation phase of the project, including summaries of the planning, design, promotion, and implementation of the project.

Chapter 5 is an evaluation of the project, including theological and personal reflections as well as commentary on how the project will be leveraged moving forward.
