Ever felt like making family Bible time a regular thing feels a bit daunting? I totally get that. Between juggling schedules and keeping everyone’s attention, it can be tough. That’s why I created the Family Bible Time Sheets — a super manageable way to bring the Bible into your family routine without the overwhelm.

Here’s What’s In My Family Discipleship Time

I am no expert on 20 different ways to do this… but here’s what I’m doing, and I’d invite you along. 🙂

If you are looking for a plan that will let your family have a structured time with God without making it a planning nightmare, you’ll love this. Imagine… over the next year, your family will:

• Sing and learn 24 beautiful hymns.
• Memorize more than 170 uplifting Bible verses.
• Dive into 119 Catechism Questions that get everyone thinking.
• Discover inspiring tales of Christian heroes.
• Learn and pray 12 powerful prayers from history.

Family Discipleship Time features

• Hymns: There’s something special about singing together. It’s fun, and it plants deep truths into our hearts through melody.
• Scripture Memorization: It’s like stocking up an arsenal of guidance and wisdom that’s always with you.
• Catechism: These Q&As are a neat way to spark conversations about faith and what we believe.
• Christian Heroes: Their stories aren’t just exciting — they show us faith in action, through real lives from history.
• Historic Prayers: Connecting with prayers from the past ties us to the vast family of believers through the ages.

How It All Works

Here’s the cool part: the Family Bible Time Sheets link right up to YouTube Playlists we’ve put together at NewStart Discipleship. Each playlist matches perfectly with your weekly themes, so you can hit play, listen, discuss, and learn together. No prep needed!

Meet the Minds Behind these Family Discipleship Resources

It’s not just me on this! I teamed up with Dr. Matt Friedeman — he’s not only a pastor but also a dad to six amazing kids who are now grown and serving God. We both know the hustle of family life and the deep desire to pass on a strong faith to our kids. So, we crafted these sheets to make that as easy as possible for you.

The plan is Dr. Friedeman’s, from his book Discipleship In the Home. You can check out my review of that book here. The implementation and tools are mine. Personally, I think it’s a great synergy.

So, ready to give it a go? Let’s make faith a vivid part of our family life, one little step at a time. Your dinner table is about to get a whole lot more interesting! 😊
