Agree on seeing families and parents as an audience! As parents of toddler it's forefront on our minds how best to raise him in the coming years, both to instill the Christian faith in him but also to help him avoid the pitfalls of our modern culture.
These are great ideas. I think christian educators and spiritual leaders are a great audience.
I also think families are a great audience--specifically, parents. You hinted at this in your podcast near the end and how these topics (discipleship in the midst of a big tech world) is hard for parents and grandparents to help children.
To be honest, I think it would be more helpful to direct this content for families who are raising children. Like you said, curriculum change for christian institutions is hard, especially for those that have been around for a while. I think targeting families who are wanting to teach and shepherd their children would see quicker change than an institution like a congregation or seminary.
I could be wrong though. I am not very familiar with seminaries. But I am friends with those in ministry for protestant churches. I think they would want to learn how to shepherd their families faithfully first, and then look to shepherd those in their congregation. I think this is the right way to go about shepherding those under our care in both families and ministries.
Just my thoughts! I respect the mission and purpose of this newsletter. It has already helped me form my thoughts on how to shepherd my future family. So, thanks for that.

Nothing enters church live without the permission and help of the pulpit. How do suggest doing that?
