The Bible isn’t just for Sunday mornings—it’s for breakfast tables, car rides, bedtime snuggles, and messy moments. In this episode of Training Them Wisely, Rene and Rebekah encourage parents to open God’s Word consistently and meaningfully with their kids—no matter their age or stage.

You’ll hear real-life stories, practical tips, and biblical wisdom to help make Scripture a normal, joyful part of your everyday family rhythms.

• 📖 Why the Bible should be the heartbeat of your home (2 Timothy 3:16)

• 🛠️ Simple ways to read Scripture as a family—even in 5 minutes a day

• 🗣 How to turn Bible time into a conversation, not a lecture

• 🌀 Encouragement for when it feels messy, inconsistent, or hard

• 🏡 How God’s Word can shape your family culture and language

• 🙏 Practical steps to start small and stay faithful

• 2 Timothy 3:16 – “All Scripture is God-breathed…”

• Isaiah 55:11 – “My word… will not return to me empty.”

• Colossians 3:16 – “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.”

• Start your day by reading one chapter at breakfast

• Let each family member choose and share a favorite verse

• Use a child-friendly Bible for younger kids—like The Action Bible or Bible in Stories

• Ask open-ended questions like, “What does this show us about God?”

• Display Scripture around the house (mirrors, fridge, lunchboxes)

• Pray Scripture out loud together during family prayer time

• Keep going—even if your kids are coloring or interrupting!

You don’t need a seminary degree to lead your kids spiritually.
You just need a Bible, a little time, and a heart that says, “Let’s grow together.”

Takeaway Thought:
Start where you are. Open the Bible. Ask a question. Pray together.
God promises His Word will never return empty—and that includes your living room.
