We started doing 10 minutes of Bible reading together right after dinner with the kids and wife. At first everyone was resistant but we've been doing it for 3 weeks now and it's becoming this sweet thing. My kids are asking questions and we're actually talking about faith together instead of me just dropping them at church. Even my wife mentioned how good it feels. Small victories man.
That's beautiful man. Consistency is what sticks with them. Ten minutes might not sound like much but those moments add up to be the ones they remember.
Love this. My kids have started asking when we're doing our reading time now. It's become part of their routine instead of something we're forcing on them.
Dude this gives me hope. With a newborn and toddler I'm barely keeping my head above water but seeing families actually make this work is inspiring.
That's awesome man, consistency is key. We started doing something similar and my kid actually looks forward to it now instead of complaining about screen time cutoff.
Right after dinner is smart timing too. Everyone's already gathered and in a good headspace. How long did it take before the kids stopped complaining about having to do it?
This is really cool to hear. I'm not super religious but I've heard from a lot of dads that structured family time like this brings everyone closer together. The routine of it seems to matter more than the actual content sometimes.

That's awesome man. We tried something similar and honestly it's been one of the best decisions we've made as a family. Even just ten minutes makes such a difference in how everyone connects.
