How To Enjoy Family Discipleship Time With Toddlers... Yes, It Is Possible For Every Christian Mom!

Episode 183 // I know you want to help your kids follow Jesus. There is busyness and chaos in a normal family day, but at the core of everything going on, you want Jesus to be a priority!
 
But I also know that reading the Bible with your toddlers, teaching your squirmy little ones to sit still and pray, and figuring out what to do for family discipleship is really tough.
 
What better time to start practicing family discipleship, Bible time, and prayer than at Easter?
 
This can be the perfect season to try something new and start building that family habit of discipleship. Join me today for some ideas, and I’ll share what our daily family discipleship time looks like with 4 toddlers and a busy schedule!
 
Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings,
Jess
