Family Resources
God gives parents (or grandparents, or other guardians) the primary responsibility in helping their kids grow to know who He is and what He calls us to do. Ephesians 6, Colossians 3, Deuteronomy 6, and the book of Proverbs all instruct us that God’s primary means of discipling children is the Christian home. In order to help you as you raise your kids, we’ve made these devotional resources available so you can meet weekday mornings or evenings with your kids to read from God’s Word, pray, ask questions, sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and grow in your walk with Christ together. We hope these resources will be an encouragement to you!
