Encouragement For This Season

Leading family devotions can feel super intimidating, especially when kids are wiggly or schedules are packed. Take heart that God does not expect you to run a formal lecture at the kitchen table. Instead, He wants you to build small, cozy, conversational moments that weave His love naturally into your daily routine.
