So true.

What a gift it is to introduce our children to Jesus! Whatever age, whatever stage, we get the privilege and responsibility of teaching them the things of God, discipling them in Christ, and watching them grow.

Many parents reach out to us asking where to start and how to disciple their kids. Here are some pointers.

1.) Start in the Gospel of John!
John writes in a way that kids tend to connect with—with stories, dialogue, and straightforward language. Don't feel like you have to read huge pieces of scripture in a sitting.

2.) Meet them where they're at, but still *meet* them there.
Small kids don't need watered-down scripture! They can handle hearing the full text, but they will definitely need you to explain it to them in terms they're familiar with. If you have older children, ask them open-ended questions about what you've read, giving them room to respond thoughtfully.

3.) Connect one idea to daily life
Ask, how has what we've read taught us to trust Jesus more in our daily lives? How can it be applied to a recent event in our lives? Try to articulate as specifically as possible.

4.) Pray with them, inviting them to pray out loud.
Regardless of their age, our children need to be reminded that they can talk to God themselves and that what they pray matters. As you pray, think of it as a response to what God has said in the passage you've read for the day.

5.) Don't over-complicate it!
As a last pointer, it's helpful to remember that you don't need to over-complicate the above process. Find a routine that works for you and tweak as necessary. The main objective is to read God's Word together, discuss how it shapes us, and to ask for God's help in letting it do so (prayer).

Our greatest joys as parents happen as we show our children Christ. May we embrace and experience the full weight of our primary parental prerogative: to instruct our children in the things of God.

Stay fierce!

This really is our heart and what we are about. We endeavor to bring more good content to help support healthy families.

The work that happens in the home is some of the best work there is. It's in the small, seemingly in-between moments where character is shaped and our future is formed. The question is, what kinds of characters are we shaping and what kind of future will they inhabit?

Friends, we must be aware of the cultural water we're swimming in. Did you know that in 2019, people spent on average more than 10 times the amount of time watching TV as they did reading? In fact, watching TV is the 3rd highest personal use of time, ranking just after sleeping and working*. We sleep, we work, and we watch TV.

We don't share this to guilt anyone... but rather to get you thinking—to get us thinking. Not all TV is bad! And spending some time being entertained can be a positive thing, but...

How are our entertainment habits informing our hearts and minds? How are they informing our desires? Our relationships? Our knowledge of God and the things of God?

It's a convicting thought to say the least.

The good news is that we don't *have to* fill our eyes and ears with anything we don't choose to! Next to sleep (the amount of quality sleep is decreasing) and work (the amount of work is increasing), our next greatest use of time is our leisure time. How can we rearrange our leisure time to better reflect our priorities as God's people?

Instead of recommending "3 clever steps to stop watching TV", how about this: can we just pray?

As believers, we have the profound privilege of being able to pray and ask God to transform our hearts and desires and make us *hunger* and *thirst* for more of Him and His Word. Then, and only then, will we see sustainable change in our habits at home.

It's our prayer that the moments we get with each other and with our kids in the home would be filled with meaning—building bonds, learning God's truths, and enjoying *each other*. May we be mindful of the opportunities our at-home-life affords us, and may we steward them well for our good, our childrens' good, and God's glory.

Stay fierce,
Ryan & Selena
