Dr. Teresa Roberts

Imagine our 12- and 13-year-olds coming of age knowing exactly who they are in Christ, viewing the world through a biblical framework, sorting through questions and abstractly thinking — all with a trusted faith community beside them. Raising Disciples turns this vision into a reality, with practical guidance for anyone who finds themselves doing the most fruitful work of the church — child discipleship.

Raising Disciples provides an easy-to-use template for not only raising disciples but also

teaching your church how to raise disciples. Teresa has provided a timely and valuable resource for all Christ followers.

As a teaching pastor of a giga church, we are always looking for ways to maximize ROI. That’s

why we prioritize coaching parents in our kidz ministry. We realize what Dr. Roberts is

advocating in Raising Disciples is, hands down, the single greatest investment of our church to

secure the future for God’s kingdom. This is a resource you can’t afford to overlook.

Parents who are looking for a compassionate and compelling guide to nurturing their children’s faith in Jesus need look no further than Raising Disciples. Dr. Teresa Roberts masterfully

provides sound biblical principles and relevant stories that will help kids embrace Christ-

centered values. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone seeking to lay a powerful

spiritual foundation for their children.

Teresa Welch Roberts brings clarity on raising children who love Jesus. It's perfect for every parent, teacher, and grandparent. Her book, Raising Disciples: Guiding Your Kids into a Faith of Their Own offers biblical guidance, practical nurturing, and is a valuable resource for those who want to raise children of faith.

– LUCILLE WILLIAMS

Author of The Impossible Kid

Dr. Teresa Roberts shows that the first 13 years of life are  the most effective discipleship opportunity. I know no one better equipped to write about discipling kids than my colleague and friend Teresa. This book offers wise and clear help to anyone – church leaders, parents, grandparents – who wants to shape children into committed Christ-followers. My six kids are grown, but I’ll be recommending this book as they now raise my grandchildren.
