Thesis (Ed.D.)--Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2019.

The task of discipleship is first entrusted to the parent. There are countless passages in Scripture that call the parent to "train" their child(ren), to "teach" their child(ren), and to "instruct" their child(ren) (Deut. 4:9, 6:4--9, 11:19; Prov. 22:6; Joel 1:3; Eph. 6:4). This call to family discipleship that God has placed upon the parent(s)' life is both commanded (as seen in the texts cited above) and demonstrated throughout the entirety of Scripture. The theological framework for family discipleship is also affirmed throughout the larger narrative of Scripture as God relates to the nation of Israel as His children (Deut. 14:1; Jer. 31:20; Ez. 16:4--14) and grafts Gentile believers into His family through spiritual adoption (Isa. 42:6; Rom. 11:11--31; Gal. 3:29). To make things even more clear, God's stated desire for godly marriages is His desire for godly offspring (Mal. 2:15) and Christ explicitly commands His disciples (which would include Christian parents) to "make disciples" (Matt. 28:19--20). In The Large Catechism included in the Book of Concord , Luther (2002) taught that marriage is not simply a function as a safeguard against sexual sin but that the primary purpose was to raise godly offspring (p. 406). Unfortunately, the current makeup of the home does not fit within the traditional household as various causes had led to the majority of children spending a portion of their childhood in a single-parent home. According to Quinn (2011), "nearly 60 percent of America's children will spend part of their childhood in a single parent family in one form or another" (p. i). There is much writing (of popular orientation) that has been done highlighting the unique role both parents have in the spiritual development of their child (Baxter, 2010; Lytch, 1999; Tripp, 2005; Westminster Catechism, 1647). Yet, there seems to be a gap within the resources and literature concerning family discipleship within the single-parent home (Quinn, 2011). Quinn states, "Past research has shown that faith can and does affect the way people perceive the world and influences both their mental and physical health...In fact, no studies to date have examined the mediating effects of parental religious commitment to their faith and their children's success factors in single parent families" (p. 3--4). This research served as a contribution to narrowing this gap as it answered the research question: What consistent and common themes emerge from the intentional discipleship practices of single-parent-disciple-makers whose children have maintained faith unto adulthood. The four major themes that were found were: a strong Christian community, disciplined Christian practices, selfless Christian service and regular Christian conversations.
