Forward in Faith: A Family Guide for Growing TogetherNäide

Leading Spiritually at Home
Key Scripture
“Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” –Deuteronomy 6:7 (NLT)
Meditation
We don’t need a pulpit to lead spiritually—just a willing heart. God has entrusted parents and caregivers to be the first teachers of faith, but He uses each family member to encourage and inspire one another. Spiritual leadership starts with intentionality: reading the Bible together, asking questions, and sharing stories of God’s faithfulness.
Each day presents opportunities for us to notice and point out God’s creation, mercies, and ways. When we make them part of our conversations with those around us, we point to the leader of our lives and encourage others to allow Him to lead them, too.
And when we fall short, humility can be just as powerful as our teaching. Leading with love leaves a lasting legacy.
Reflection
- What small step can you take to lead your family spiritually this week?
- How can you encourage family members to identify their strengths and use them to honor God?
Prayer
Lord, help us to guide our family in Your truth. Give us wisdom to lead well and grace to learn as we go. May our home reflect Your presence in all we do. Amen.
Pühakiri
