Discipleship in Families: Raising Children for Jesus
Explore God's design for discipleship in families, learning how to teach and raise children as devoted followers of Jesus.
đź“– Introduction
Discipleship in families is the heart of spiritual growth and legacy. God’s plan to nurture faithful followers begins within the home. Parents hold a sacred responsibility to teach their children to love, follow, and serve Jesus Christ. This journey isn't just about religious rituals or Sunday attendance—it’s about intentionally shaping hearts and minds to become disciples who impact the world.
From the earliest moments, children absorb the values, beliefs, and rhythms of the family environment. The Bible emphasizes this in verses like Deuteronomy 6:6-7, where God commands us to impress His words on our children, talking about them when we sit, walk, lie down, and rise up. Discipleship is continuous and relational; it flows naturally from daily living and genuine connection.
In this seven-day study, we will explore how families can cultivate discipleship by modeling Christ-likeness, teaching biblical truths, and encouraging obedience through love and grace. You’ll gain practical insights on training children to walk with God, helping them develop a personal faith rooted in God’s Word.
As you journey through these devotions, let your heart be open to God’s guidance. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or a spiritual mentor, His vision is clear: to raise a generation who truly follow Jesus. May this time inspire you to nurture faith-filled families that honor God and transform their communities.
