As we build family cultures centered around the Word and love for one another, our homes become a foretaste of heavenly joys.

Sometimes the most effective discipleship comes not in sit-down lessons or formal teaching times but in the creative, everyday, life-on-life moments we share with our kids.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all that we must teach our children, we can seek to faithfully steward each small opportunity God gives to pour truth into their hearts.

As a spiritual father to many in the early church, the apostle Paul gives us a model for how to instruct our children in a grace-based way.

Discipling our children in the gospel means laying a foundation of both truth and grace—cultivating minds of conviction and hearts of compassion.

We can creatively seek the Lord together as a family, even when our schedules make regular discipleship routines and church participation difficult.

Rather than settling for half-truths or little lies that our kids will one day outgrow, we can meet their big questions with Big Truths about God and his world.

We can use a myriad of tangible objects, experiences, and family rhythms to pass along to our kids the stories of God’s work in our lives—even from before they were born.

Whether or not we always see it, there are good things happening in our homes day to day because of the Spirit’s power and presence with us.

While it can be difficult to get our kids to open up—especially as they hit the teen years—we can take practical steps now to help facilitate communication and build connection.

Far beyond our own words or wisdom, Scripture ultimately speaks for itself—so we can give our kids freedom and opportunity to engage with it personally.

As God grows us into his likeness, so too our kids can grow in following our example—even when it’s not perfect.
