Family devotions actually working for us now

Just wanted to share a win. We started doing 10 minute devotions after dinner instead of trying to do some big long thing on Sunday. My 7 year old asked ME a spiritual question yesterday completely unprompted. He was thinking about what we read two nights ago. My wife and I looked at each other like wow, this is actually sinking in. Not trying to brag but if you've been struggling with consistency like we were, maybe shorter and more frequent is the move.

This is awesome. The fact that it's actually working and the kids aren't complaining means you found the sweet spot. A lot of families struggle with getting kids to engage in something meaningful.

10 minutes after dinner is genius honestly. You're catching them when they're fed and kind of settled but not deep in screens yet. That timing is way better than trying to force a whole family meeting vibe.

I've been trying to get my family to do something like this. The consistency is the hard part though. How do you keep it from feeling like a chore after a few weeks?
