We hope that these tips and resources can be helpful in creating a meaningful and fruitful experience in making room for God's Word to direct your families life.
Make it Visual
Find ways for God's Word to capture the eye of your children. Hearing the Word of God is important and visually seeing Scripture provides support. With our little ones this might look like find a picture bible to using typography to capture the attention of our preteens. Having our kids draw what they hear or journal their thoughts can help bring them to a better understanding of scripture and the ability to articulate what they are learning and understand.
Know the Story
The Bible is not just a collection of books, it is God's Story with Jesus as the central focus throughout the Old and New Testaments. Take time to know the central themes through scripture and try to draw back to those often in your discussions.
Read it Together
Its great if everyone finds time to have their personal bible reading time or reading the bible to each child before bed. But also make sure to read Scripture together. This goes for you adults too. Sharing in the hearing of God's Word and having our kids take turns reading out loud emphasizes the importance of sharing it with others.
