Maybe this is the jumpstart you need to be more intentional with discipling your family...
Of course we hope you love this and want the full version... but more than that we want families to
HAVE A FIRE LIT TO START.
We pray that this devotional sample will light that fire.
This family devotional is a resource for families seeking to grow in their faith and build stronger relationships with one another. Each week, focus on a scripture-based value such as love, patience, honesty, humility, etc.
Through scripture, Biblical readings, age-specific discussions, and practical application exercises, your family will be inspired and equipped to grow in faith and character.
We're the Jeske Family! Devoted Family started in 2018, when we were expecting our first baby. As we prayed and thought about all of the things that we wanted (and needed) to teach him and the young man that we hoped he would become, it was overwhelming. We knew we couldn't do it without God. It was then that we began to develop resources - for ourselves!
At some point we looked at each other and said, "Other people would probably benefit from these resources, you know? And I know they could use some encouragement if they are in the stage we are in!"
Since then, God has been writing this story — we're just trying to stay faithful to the vision that He continues to unfold, which has admittedly grown rapidly. We have had 4 kids in 5 and a half years (from birth to birth). With each child, we have only grown in our dependence on the Lord. (We have some fiery personalities!) We have also become increasingly aware of the high stakes and critical importance of the family unit within the Church.
No one is doing this perfectly, but Jesus fills the gap! We are asked to be faithful and do what we can with what we have been given. We hope that you will join us as we try to do just that and equip others to do the same.
We pray a blessing over your family, in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus. AMEN.
