Summary

How can we share the truth of God's Word to our kids in their early years in a way that's enjoyable for them and doesn't cause us to turn gray so soon? This is a question we ask ourselves often and try to navigate in our own home. Why? Because it's inevitable that your kids will get bored when you try to read the Bible to them or want to talk about something else when you want to pray. Welcome to family discipleship :)

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the ways they're cultivating a spiritual growth environment for their kids and the lessons they're learning about family discipleship. Here are some highlights:

* The meaning of family discipleship and why we need to prioritize it* How to get creative when your kids feel bored* Why and how our own relationship with God overflows to our kids* The power of inviting your kids into your own spiritual disciplines
