Dear Parents,

For some parents, the idea of doing "spiritual stuff" at home creates a knot of tension in the stomach. But yet there is something inherent in each of us that wants to make sure our kids know and love the God who created them. Deep inside, we all want to create a spiritual legacy in our families, but we're not always sure how to go about doing it. So let's embark on this journey together.  Below I've provided some great ideas and tools to help you get started, and I promise you're going to have a blast with your family.

Here is a Family Night built around a theme all kids love!
FAMILY FORT NIGHT. 

SPLINK is one of my favorite sites.  Sign up to receive a weekly email full of
fun, faith building ideas to use at home.  They're always simple, always fun and a great way
to open up conversations about faith with your family.

I could give you a list of great parenting books, but honestly I just can't say enough positive things about the book VISIONARY PARENTING by Rob Reinow.  This book has deeply impacted my own family.  It's the one book I wish every parent was given as they leave the hospital with their first born child.  Yes, it's that good!
