Started doing family devotions and it's actually working

4h ago1 min read

We've been doing 10 minute devotions after breakfast for about 6 weeks now and honestly I'm shocked at how much my kids are getting out of it. We use this devotional app that keeps it short and age appropriate. My 12 year old asked me a question yesterday about faith that made me realize he's actually thinking about this stuff and not just going through the motions. My wife and I feel like we're finally leading our family spiritually instead of just dropping them off at church on Sunday. Highly recommend finding something simple that works for your family.

This is awesome. I've been meaning to start something like this. It's wild how consistent small habits can actually shift the whole family vibe. How did you get your kids to actually pay attention?

This is the kind of foundation stuff that lasts. Even if they don't remember the specific devotions, they'll remember doing it together as a family.

10 minutes is doable too which is smart. A lot of people think it has to be this long thing but consistency matters way more than length. What kind of stuff are you doing?

We're thinking about trying this. Did you do it with both kids or separate by age? Curious how you keep everyone engaged.
