Discipleship begins in the home, and one of the best ways to do this is to study the Bible as a family. Creating a regular habit of spending time together in God’s Word invites children to learn through both their parents’ instruction and their personal experience how to read, interpret, and meditate on Scripture. Even imperfect family devotionals can have a profound effect on your children’s lives.
In this session from TGCW26, Michael and Melissa Kruger talk about the habits and strategies they used to make studying the Bible, learning the catechism, and praying for the world a regular part of their household routine.
