5 Ways to Disciple Your Children with God’s Word

June 19, 2024 By Peter Krol

Though family discipleship is hard work, Todd Hains has some great suggestions.

In family discipleship, we regularly sow God’s Word into our children’s hearts and into our own. It doesn’t take long to drop a seed in the soil, nor does it take long to read, pray, and sing God’s Word. In his grace, God takes our planting and watering and produces a harvest full of the fruits of his word—a harvest of faith and forgiveness and life everlasting.

His five suggestions are:

  1. Read God’s Word with your children
  2. Sing God’s Word with your children
  3. Recite God’s Word with your children
  4. Pray God’s Word with your children
  5. Set a routine of God’s Word with your children

He offers many practical tools and resources to help you in this crucial task.
