Summary

One of our favorite ways to disciple our kids - while having a ton of fun - is to celebrate the 7 Biblical feasts.

They're not just for Jewish people...they all prefigure Christ, and are an amazing opportunity to talk about the Gospel to our kids on an annual rhythm.

This month's focus in the Family Teams Accelerator is how to lean into the 4 Spring Festivals, and in this episode we give you a sneak peak into some of our tips and rhythms, as well as what to expect as you begin to celebrate things like Passover, Shavuot, etc.

On this episode, we talk about:

0:46.3

one of the things that's a little bit odd about, I think, a lot of people's spiritual life is that

0:51.1

as dramatic as these seasons are, for those of us who are fortunate to live in places

0:55.4
