Summary
This is a question we get asked often.
How do I introduce/share/read the Bible to my family?
Sharing the Bible with your kids is extremely important, but in such a busy world, it's often one of the things that gets pushed to the backburner.
We highly recommend putting some real time and energy into this...not many things are more important.
This is part 1 (the Pryor family experience with younger and older kids). Part 2 comes next week when the Akrami family will give us their best tips.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
2:11 Reading the Bible as a family with little kids
9:53 Morning Bible time
13:47 Literacy level
17:56 Sabbath rhythm for Bible reading
22:04 Bible reading plan

| 0:11.6 | through the book. All the work that people do to translate the Bible into languages, |
| 0:16.9 | think about the amount of work it takes to go to a village of people and not only learn that language and translate the Bible into the language, but you also have to basically make the entire tribe literate in order for them to have access to the Word of God. |
| 0:32.4 | And each one of us is in that same situation as a Bible translator. |
