The nonprofit utilizes parenting workshops and family discipleship resources, including Dr. Chatmon\u2019s best-selling book, <i>Do Your Children Believe? Becoming Intentional About Your Family&#8217;s Faith and Spiritual Legacy<\/i>. Victorious Family\u2019s Master Family Champion program has trained and certified more than a hundred coaches to help families deepen their spiritual formation at home.<\/p>\n<p>The need for a family discipleship movement at this time has never been greater. The number of families in the U.S. who have a \u201cbiblical worldview\u201d has eroded from 12% to 4%, according to the America\u2019s Values Study recently done by <b>Dr. George Barna<\/b>, director of research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University. Nearly half of Millennials today are what Dr. Barna refers to as \u201cDon\u2019ts\u201d \u2014 they either don\u2019t believe, don\u2019t know, or don\u2019t care if there is a God.<\/p>\n<p>However, many Millennials are reviving their family-centered faith in God, and some contributed their voices to the Victorious Family Special Section. The Akers family of Georgia are one of the families who share about their parenting in the modern era.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strive for our children to be ambassadors of faith, equipped to spread God\u2019s love, compassion, and grace among their peers and the larger community,\u201d shared the Akers couple. \u201cThis means helping them discover and develop their unique abilities and talents, while instilling an understanding that these gifts are to be employed for noble and virtuous purposes. By encouraging them to utilize their time wisely, pursuing endeavors that contribute positively to society, and utilizing their talents to uplift others, they will exemplify the principles of faith in a practical and meaningful manner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Victorious Family\u2019s discipleship movement seeks to renew families\u2019 personal connections to God and Holy Scripture, assist parents with raising their children as godly people, and resurrect family-centered faith that can resolve societal troubles and create a better world.<\/p>\n<p>Victorious Family is also initiating a new educational and training facility near Atlanta. The <b>Research &amp; Equipping Family Discipleship Institute<\/b> is designed to be the hub for the family discipleship movement and house Victorious Family\u2019s growing nonprofit operations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to <b>Dr. Terence Chatmon<\/b>, contributing authors of the Victorious Family Special Section include <b>Dr. George Barna<\/b>, director of research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University; <b>Dr. Gary Chapman<\/b>, author of <i>The 5 Love Languages<\/i>; former NFL tight end and family values activist <b>Benjamin Watson<\/b>; Hobby Lobby President and Board Chairman of the Museum of the Bible <b>Steve Green<\/b>; Arizona Christian University <b>President Len Munsil<\/b>;\u00a0 Arizona Christian University Professor <b>Dr. Tracy Munsil<\/b>, <b>Dr. Richard Blackaby<\/b>, president of Blackaby Ministries International; Christian self-help author <b>Dr<\/b>. <b>Henry Cloud<\/b>; <b>Dr. Ted Baehr<\/b>, publisher of Movieguide and chairman of the Christian Film &amp; Television Commission ministry; and Perimeter Church <b>Senior Pastor Jeff Norris<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>U.S. Sen.
