Summary

I’ve often been asked for guidance on how families can have group devotions. This can be challenging, especially as families with children can be pulled in many directions throughout the day. In this episode of Signposts I talk about what the Moore family does for dinner time devotions, and how each family needs to look for a method that works for them, rather than an unbending principle.

0:56.6	Someone asked me the other day
1:01.3	to talk about how we and our family do family devotions, family
