Family Bible Time: The How-To Guide for Fostering Unity and Faith

Show notes

About This Episode Family Bible time can transform a home, but it takes diligence. In this episode we share how we lead Bible time with our kids and why we believe it should be a daily, lifestyle-wide pursuit rather than a once-a-week event. Anchored in Deuteronomy 6, we talk about why parents need to be in the Word themselves, and visibly so, so their children see it. Then we get practical: how we read with our kids, the simple questions we ask to reinforce what they heard, and how we handle adult content in Scripture with young children. Most of all, we are reminded that God's Word is living and powerful, and it does the work.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.

In This Episode Diligence in Bible study — Making Scripture an intentional, consistent, daily pursuit. Deuteronomy 6 at home — Talking about God's Word when you sit, walk, lie down, and rise. Lead by example — Why kids need to see their parents in the Word, not just on a phone. Our rhythm — Reading about a chapter a day chronologically, with the kids in camping chairs. Simple questions — Short recall questions that reinforce the main stories and characters. Read with expression — An idea we took from Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. Navigating adult content — Skipping or simplifying passages and genealogies that aren't age-appropriate. The power of the Word — Trusting Scripture to grow faith in you and your children.

Scripture Referenced Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Hebrews 4:12 Romans 10:17
