Oh how we underestimate the power of little habits! The secret to inspiring curiosity, creating connection, and becoming a confident Christian parent is found in small, sustainable, life-giving daily habits. In this episode, Christie Thomas invites you to explore faith alongside your children in a fresh, creative way. Just as a mighty oak starts as a seed, sprouts up and eventually grows deep roots and flourishes, you can disciple your family through small, simple steps. If you want to read the Bible in a way that clicks with your kids, find consistent times to share your faith and encourage them to trust in God. Christie Thomas is a mom, author and discipleship coach. Her devotionals and children's books help parents cultivate faith-filled moments. She lives with her husband and three boys in Canada.
