The Dig - MGCB Roots Family Ministry
The Dig is a family discipleship tool for families at Mechanic Grove Church of the Brethren (and more!) to DIG into last week's learning as a church family and prep for what's to come next week.
Our goal is to empower parents and spiritual family members to DEEPEN their understanding and application of scripture, IGNITE curiosity for what’s next and GROW as fruit-producing, God-glorifying disciples.
Deepen. Ignite. Grow. The Dig.

Hey Church Fam!
During this season of “The Dig” we’ll be “digging” into the book of Ephesians! Each week we’ll drop three mini episodes - one to deepen our understanding of what we’ll be reading that week in Ephesians, one to ignite our curiosity about how that week’s scripture fits into the God’s big story and the good news of the gospel, and then one to help us grow as fruit-producing, God-glorying disciples!
This is a GROW Episode! Your challenge this month is to memorize Ephesians 2:8! Each month we'll be adding to that verse. By the end of the summer our goal will be to recite Ephesians 2:8-10!
RESOURCES
Welcome to the Dig Church Family. This podcast will serve as a way for the church and the home to connect outside of the church building, providing parents and spiritual families with the resource to dig into God's word together. As always, when we dig, we're deepening our understanding, igniting our curiosity, and growing as fruit-producing, God-glorifying disciples. During this season of the dig, we'll be digging into the book of Ephesians. Each week, we'll drop three mini episodes, one to deepen our understanding of what we'll be reading that week in Ephesians, one to ignite our curiosity about how that week's scripture fits into God's big story of the Bible and the good news of the gospel, and then one to help us grow as fruit-producing God-glorifying disciples. Today's mini episode is going to help us summarize our reading from this past week so that we can grow as fruit-producing God-glorifying disciples. This summer, while we're digging into the book of Ephesians, we're going to memorize some scripture together. One of our commands in scripture is to hide God's word in our hearts. And as we do that, we will grow as God-glorifying disciples when we commit to memorizing his word. This month, we're going to memorize Ephesians 2, verses 8. For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith. And this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. In order to help us hide God's word in our hearts, we need to get this verse in front of us all the time. Write it on an index card and hang it on your bathroom mirror at your kitchen sink or on your card dash. Put it in your closet, make a poster and hang it on your fridge or leave it on your kitchen table. Say it together as a family during a mealtime. Practice, practice, practice. Let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the free gift of your grace. Thank you for your son Jesus, because he shed his blood. We are saved. We have nothing to do with our rescue. That was all you. We praise you for that. Thank you, God, for accusing us. Thank you for marking us with your Holy Spirit. Help the world to see us as your possession and want to be adopted into the same family. We love you too. We pray. Amen.
