Spiritual Formation for the Family
Spiritual Formation for the Family exists primarily to serve our CBC Family Ministry, but if you’re joining us from elsewhere, we warmly welcome you! At Central Baptist Church, our Family Ministry is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ—from the womb to the empty nest.
In this podcast, we’ll cover the teachings and practices we encourage our families to engage with on their journey of spiritual formation.
This podcast is produced by Central Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Texas, and hosted by Coby Duren.

In this first part of a two-part conversation, Coby isn’t just hosting — he’s sharing his own story while sitting down with three guests from three different generations to talk about their spiritual formation.
Larry Folden, a retired dentist and lifelong member of Central, was saved at a young age, but his spiritual formation really took shape later in life through the influence of a mentor.
Al Lambert, 43, came to Christ later in life after years as an atheist. He shares how his spiritual formation began and what he does now to keep growing.
Chesni Speaker, representing the college generation, reflects on growing up in Central’s student ministry and how that shaped her faith as a young adult.
Together, they talk honestly about faith, growth, and how God shapes lives in every season.
