Replay: Devotions For The Real Family

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

We are talking about Family Devotions for the Real Family on this podcast.

You know REAL family devotions. The families with the toddler hijacking the deep discussion, the teens are daydreaming, and the mom is falling asleep because it’s been a long, long homeschooling day. Can you relate to family worship that looks like this?

Family worship can be trying for most families, and on this episode of Homeschooling in Real Life, we talk with a dozen dads about what it looks like in their homes. But we won’t leave you feeling like a failure! We want to encourage you to discover God’s glory with your family in a way that suits you best.

In this episode of “Homeschooling in Real Life,” we delve into the realm of family worship, a journey that can be both rewarding and challenging for most families. We sit down with a diverse group of a dozen dads, each bringing their unique experiences and perspectives to the table. Through candid conversations, we unravel the intricacies of what family worship truly entails within their homes.

The conversations are refreshingly honest, acknowledging the inevitable struggles that arise when striving to establish a consistent practice. Amidst busy schedules, varying ages, and divergent interests, these fathers reveal the hurdles they face and the creative solutions they’ve discovered. It’s an insightful glimpse into the reality of harmonizing spirituality within a family unit.

However, the purpose of this episode isn’t to accentuate shortcomings but to inspire and uplift. Instead of focusing solely on the difficulties, we aim to ignite a sense of possibility. Through these discussions, we highlight that family worship is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Rather, it’s an opportunity for each family to tailor an approach that resonates with their unique dynamics and values.

Ultimately, the episode is a call to embrace the journey of discovering God’s glory alongside your loved ones. It’s a reminder that the path might be winding, and the pace might vary, but the significance lies in the intention and effort. Whether through shared devotionals, musical moments, or simple conversations, there’s an array of avenues to explore. So, as you listen to these stories, may you be empowered to weave a tapestry of family worship that reflects the beauty of your own household.

MBFLP – Family Devotions (and how to get them done)

A Production of the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

MBFLP Family Devotions

What can be more Biblical than studying the Bible together as a family … after all, we all know you’re supposed to teach these things diligently to your children, and talk of them “when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” (Deuteronomy 6:7, NKJV)

But oh, how hard it can be, to just be consistent about it. What do you have to do just to get devotions done?

This episode, we’ll talk about some things we learned about having family devotions – not to add guilt, but give a hand!

RESOURCES WE MENTIONED

J.C. Ryle’s Expository Thoughts on the Gospels – a great way to learn how to read and explain a passage of the Bible

The Catechism for Young Children (Reformed)
The Catechism for Boys and Girls (Baptist)

NetHymnal has hundreds of familiar hymns with MIDI files to give you the tunes
The Trinity Hymnal page of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church includes some interesting historic hymns you won’t find elsewhere!
