Adam Griffin and Cassie Bryant are joined by Hunter Beless to discuss how you can lead your family in memorizing scripture and why it's important.Questions Covered in This Episode:
  • What does sharing your faith with your kids look like in your home right now?
  • What started your passion for teaching kids to memorize scripture?
  • You’ve got a great kids book called “Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It.” Will you walk us through how that framework helps kids to memorize scripture?
  • Have you seen adults set expectations for kids to memorize scripture without modeling this spiritual discipline themself?
  • What scriptures do you think are particularly great for families to memorize?
  • What encouragement would you have to offer to a family that is really struggling to get their kids to care about the things of God?
  • What do you hope the Lord does through your Journeywomen ministry?
Guest Bio:Hunter is the founder of Journeywomen Ministries, the author of "Read It, See It, Say It, Sing It!" and "Amy Carmichael: The Brown-Eyed Girl Who Learned to Pray," and she loves doing ministry in her local church context. Hunter and her husband, Brooks, have four amazing kiddos who memorize Scripture way faster than their mama! When they’re not reading, seeing, saying, or singing the Bible, you can find the Beless family camping, riding bikes, or snuggling up with a good book.

Griffin's here. Hey, Chelsea. Hey, Chelsea. A question for you. I'm ready. Favorite deep cut,

0:28.2

seldom remembered Bible story. What's a deep cut from the Bible? Like a deep cut meaning maybe a story

0:34.9

that we're not teaching to kids that you love or a story that most people who are

0:39.0

kind of familiar with the Bible wouldn't be aware of. I think it's hard for me to tell what is like

And then when they open the door, finally, they unlock it. And he is dead. Oh, man. Sad. Yeah, why aren't we teaching that to kids more?

Recently, there's a couple stories in Kings that I've loved that involved lions that I didn't
