  • 3 Tips for Quiet Time with Kids at Home
    Aug 28 2024

    Do you have a consistent habit of spending time with God? It can be so hard to do with kids at home. Yet, Deuteronomy 6:5-7 shows us that discipling our children starts with us loving God.

    It is from that love of God that our teaching, discipling, and nurturing the faith of our children flows. Otherwise, you will be trying to work for God instead of with him. This leads to burnout and your kids seeing through the inauthenticity.

    Here are 3 tips to help Christian mamas to spend time with Jesus and enjoy it!

    You’ve got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!
