Our family started doing Bible study together and it's amazing

3w ago1 min read

Just wanted to share something that's been working great for us. We started doing a 15 minute Bible study before dinner every night with the kids. Nothing fancy, just reading a passage and talking about what it means. My oldest asked the deepest question yesterday about why God lets bad things happen, and we had this incredible conversation. My kids are actually engaged and asking questions instead of just tuning me out. Feels like we're building something real here. If you're looking for a way to lead your family spiritually without it feeling like a chore, I can't recommend this enough.

This is something we've been thinking about doing as a family. How old are your kids and did you have to adjust the material based on their ages?

We started doing this too and it's been one of the best decisions we made as a family. Game changer for our household honestly.

That's awesome man. 15 minutes is such a sweet spot too - long enough to actually engage but not so long that everyone loses focus. What translation are you using?

That's awesome man. We tried something similar but with shorter 10 minute devotionals before dinner. The consistency is what really matters. How old are your kids? We found that the older ones actually engage more when we keep it conversational instead of just reading straight from the book.

I love hearing this. We started something similar and honestly it's become my favorite part of the day with the kids. Something about having that consistent family rhythm just hits different.

This is great to hear. My wife and I have been talking about starting something like this but honestly weren't sure how to begin or if the kids would actually sit still for it. Love that you're sharing this works.
