How do we limit screen time while giving mom or dad a chance to take a necessary phone call, get some work done or rest for a few minutes when needed without the house being burned down? As parents, it is our responsibility to ensure those times with limited parental involvement are promoting the physical and spiritual well-being of our children.

Prayer is the premier opportunity to address both the physical and spiritual needs of our children. But where to start? Here are a few things you can use to fuel your prayer time for your children’s spiritual wellbeing.
The Great Commission is not just a command to give the gospel. It is also a command to make disciples!

How do we do that gracefully without it feeling like we are just crashing into people as we fly through life? By merging into their lane of life with the use of some good on-ramps, or relationships.
