Encouraging Notes

This element of the study is truly sowing seeds. As a parent, leaving a note for your child in a place where they can see it on their own time and schedule is a powerful way to continue to plant the truth of God's Word into their minds.

Scripture Verse

It all ties back to The Bible...the true instruction book of life.

Conversation Starters

The conversation starters are simple questions that open the conversation. They can be as simple as a discussion in the car during the 10 minute drive to baseball practice or a longer conversation over dinner. The beauty of these questions is that it allows for discussion on how to apply The Word of God into every day life!

Prayer to Say over your Child

As we all know, there is power in prayer. Debbie Bailey shares prayers you can pray over your children asking God to help grow them, keep them, and strengthen them in the area of study.

Historically, we have never had more access to God’s word, scholarly input and biblical knowledge, yet we are fighting the challenge of Biblical illiteracy around the nation.

Topically, she addresses themes that are both cultural and current and then deftly fosters a conversation that leads to scripture.
