I love brainstorming ideas on a whiteboard. I enjoy writing things down that I had previously only thought about in my mind. I like getting feedback. I like revising these lists. And I really like it when these ideas end up being useful, not only for me, but for others. I hope to offer these top 5 or top 10 lists often, for a variety of parent discipleship topics.
Here are five ways to point your kids to Jesus:
- Pray with your kids every opportunity you can find. Pray at breakfast. Pray before they leave for school. Pray when they are happy. Pray when they are nervous. Pray at the dinner table. Pray before going to bed.
- Take a walk as a family in the woods or at a local park. Talk about God as the creator of everything that exists. Explain that he is a good God that likes to give his children good things. Ask them their thoughts as you walk around.
- Read through an age-appropriate Bible or devotional. Our family has loved the Jesus Storybook Bible. Every story it highlights, whether in the Old Testament or the New Testament, points to Jesus as our redeemer.
- Share a Bible verse and ask the kids to draw any part of the story that stuck out to them. Give them time to describe their drawing to you.
- Go around the dinner table and ask everyone to share a God Sighting They Experienced during the day. It could be that God spoke to them in some way or showed them His love through another person or circumstance.
