Pastor Joel, please discuss your approach to family worship.

Great question. I like this one because it's practical and really fruitful for fathers and mothers.

So what we do, and this is kind of evolved over time as I am growing as a father.

But what we do at this point is we do our family worship. So I'm going to be pretty detailed,

as always. We do our family worship at the table. So for the longest time, so we started,

I'll answer that first, we started doing

family worship when my oldest daughter, who is now about to be five, Olive, when she was, I think,

like 14 months, a little bit over one year old. And so people have asked me, when do you start

family worship? At what age? When should you start? And I always tell them, we started when

our oldest was 14 months. And then they say, do you feel like you started too soon? And I always say,

I feel like we started too late. I think that really, I think I was always doing private worship.

And the moment that I got married, I started doing family worship with my wife without having

children. But then my wife and I, we continued doing some measure of family worship in our marriage,

but without our daughter being present, right? So maybe it's after bedtime or something like that.

And then we spend some time reading the scripture, doing this, doing, I think we should have

invited my daughter into that moment of family worship from the day that she was born.

And so that's when I would start.
