Have you wondered about the legacy you are going to leave? It’s time to go the second mile in your discipleship legacy.

WORK WITH THE PROVEN METHODS

1. Chronologically Teach the Bible

  • Teaching children isolated stories can teach moral lessons but possibly neglect God’s truth.
  • Prioritize a method of teaching your children the big picture of the Bible.

    • 2. Highlight Teachable Moments

    • Embrace the scheduled and spontaneous moments of family discipleship.
    • The most memorable lessons are often associated with a pivotal experience.

      • 3. Initiate Open-Ended Questions

      • Refrain from using leading or closed questions to ascertain a child’s real comprehension of spiritual matters.
      • Always display motivation and excitement when a child shows interest in spiritual matters.

        • 4. Live an Authentic Example

        • Children are able to ascertain the difference between a parent’s desire and a parent’s obligation.
        • If you wouldn’t be satisfied if your child imitated your example in a particular area, you need to make changes now.

          • 5. Decipher a Child’s Readiness

          • Beware of the danger of a child desiring spiritual growth due to peer or parental pressure.
          • Parents should continue to monitor progress over the years to reaffirm decision and discipleship.
