Summary

Social distancing has given us a chance to really focus on the atmosphere of our home, both emotionally and spiritually. It's made us a little more intentional, but also has brought a lot more fun to our home as well.

In this episode, we talk about the practices we've been implementing in our home to cultivate our kids' hearts and foster a healthy spiritual environment for all of us.

Here are some highlights:

* The misperception that spiritual growth begins with instruction* Why the spiritual environment of our home rises and falls on modeling* The transmitting power of relational warmth * How listening and asking questions of our kids influences the environment * Why worship changes the atmosphere of your home* The ways we teach our kids to listen for God's voice* Why we need to take prayer seriously and be the spiritual covering for our kids

0:37.4	didn't get to
0:37.7	listen to that one you can go back and do that it's one of the most really just I think powerful
0:43.3	things that we can do the most transformative things we can do in our home to create an environment
0:48.5	of growth for our kids to open up to be themselves to be. And today we want to piggyback that with the spiritual
0:57.0	because we know they go hand in hand,
0:59.9	but we also know that it is different.
1:02.6	And for those of us who have maybe been raised in Christian homes
1:08.5	and those of us that have not,
1:10.0	this is sometimes a very
1:12.1	difficult environment to foster when we are so unsure ourselves. Or we're carrying some baggage
1:20.5	of how it was done in our home and we didn't like that. And so we often go to the opposite
1:25.2	extreme. So we just want to talk about that. How can we foster growth, the spiritual growth of our kids, in the environment of our home?
1:31.6	Well, and I think one of the reasons this is so critically important is because, you know,
