More Unforgettable Faith Lessons to Do with Your Kids

Maybe you’re like many Christian parents who want their kids to have a strong faith in God but don’t know how to help them develop one. Taking your kids to church and youth group is a great start, but the most significant spiritual influence in your child’s life is you.

One of the most meaningful ways parents can pass on their faith is through simple family devotions. While that idea may stir up even more uncertainty, let me assure you that there’s no one “right way” to do it. Jean preferred formal times of Scripture reading and devotion. Her degree is in biochemistry, so it fit her personality to whip up a lesson with the creativity and skill of a schoolteacher. My boys always responded well to that. I preferred to chat with my boys about the Christian faith during everyday activities, like driving them to school in the morning.

Author Tim Shoemaker is joining me on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly to equip you with practical ideas for building lasting spiritual foundations in your children through engaging family devotions.

Tim shares simple, yet memorable, ideas such as:

• Dead Turkeys Don’t Fly.

• Three-Legged Race.

• Fuel on the Fire.

• Money to Burn.

• Minute to Win It.

Tune in for even more creative ways to enjoy family devotions with your children on your local radio station, online, on Apple Podcasts, or take us with you on our free phone app.

We’ve also got a free parenting assessment available for you. It will quickly give you an overview of how your family is doing in several key areas. It also offers suggestions for improving the relationships in your home.
