We explore the power of communication in shaping family culture and discipling children. Drawing from the Shema in Deuteronomy 6, we emphasize speaking God’s truth intentionally and consistently in everyday life. When parents prioritize authentic faith and regular conversations, they set their children up to love God deeply and walk in His ways.

QUESTIONS:

1. How did the communication style in your family of origin shape the way you connect with others today?
2. What intentional practices could you adopt to saturate your home with God’s truth in everyday conversations?
3. How can you model authentic faith for your children without slipping into legalism?
