This 10-week course is designed to help families reimagine their homes as the primary place where discipleship to Jesus happens. Rooted in the truth that parents must first be disciples in order to make disciples, this journey begins by redefining what success in parenting looks like—moving from behavior management to soul formation. Through biblical teaching, spiritual practices and intentional habits, parents will discover how everyday rhythms—like waking, mealtimes and even screen time—can become moments of spiritual formation. Each session invites families to slow down, embrace the way of Jesus, and cultivate a home where knowing, loving and obeying God becomes the center of family life.
