Anna and Matt encourage parents to build one simple but powerful habit in their homes: regular Bible reading. Research shows that the single biggest predictor of long-term vibrant faith in kids is whether they regularly read the Bible while growing up—and the good news is, it doesn’t have to be complicated.

A recent Lifeway study found:

Only 29% of kids in Christian households regularly read their Bible.

The spiritual activity with the greatest long-term impact on faith was consistent Bible reading.

Here are simple ways to build a Bible-reading rhythm in your home:

📚 Use Age-Appropriate Bibles

🎵 Reinforce Throughout the Day

🏡 A Simple Daily Rhythm

Read. Pray. Sing.

Attach it to a moment that already happens—like bedtime.

💬 Phrases to Use Often

🙌 Encouragement for Parents

Ordinary moments—like a three-minute bedtime story—shape extraordinary faith.

You are not doing this alone.

You are partnering with the Holy Spirit, who loves your child even more than you do.
