Summary

Do you want to lead your home well spiritually but are not sure how? Do you need more creative and fun ideas on how to point your kids to Jesus? 

Today, Chris Pappalardo and Clayton Greene join me to talk about spiritual rhythms with our kids. They share plenty of ideas on creating a space for spiritual growth that doesn't need to be a checklist-driven, box-checking exercise. Their new book discusses establishing morning and evening rhythms that align with how God wired us to connect spiritually and practically with Him. 

We talk about modeling the gospel in a way that is authentic and free from unnecessary baggage for our kids to carry into the future. I get personal by sharing how my dad modeled this in my life—and that’s really what these habits create: our kids modeling the habits and behaviors we practice that point to Jesus.

We cover-

  • 6 Key Shifts for Building Lasting Spiritual Habits
  • Real-Life Examples: like how to practically walk out a spiritual habit with our kids
  • Navigating Different Seasons: Dealing with a spouse or teens who are not on board
  • And we each reflect on how we learned spiritual formation from our parents

Chris and Clayton from Goodkind. So a lot of what Clayton and I talk about is spiritual

0:28.6

disciplines can be a matter of responding to where God is moving, like notice what God is doing

0:32.9

and then follow him in it. It takes more work as parents to say, I really want to be responsive

0:37.0

to the spirit of God in my kid's life and then help when that happens. But I do think that's where
