Teach Them Diligently - How to Cultivate a Faith-Driven Family

How do we pass down a vibrant, lasting faith to the next generation in a world full of distractions? In this episode, we sit down with Angie Tolpin to explore the essential, everyday spiritual disciplines that help families build a lasting legacy of faith. Leslie and Angie will discuss what it truly means to cultivate a faith-driven home—moving past the screen and digging into the messy, beautiful reality of family discipleship. From the vital role of physical church attendance to practical tips for reading Scripture aloud with your kids, Angie shares actionable steps to help your children transition from simply knowing about God to truly loving Him within a biblical community. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Reclaiming the Local Church: Why watching a sermon online isn’t a substitute for being the hands and feet of Christ in person. Scripture in the Home: Practical strategies for reading, discussing, and normalizing the Bible with children of all ages. The Power of Praying Scripture: How to move past generic prayers and actively pray God’s Word over and with your kids. Worship and Service as a Family: The profound impact children experience when they watch their parents serve others and worship freely. Fostering Biblical Community: Building a network of accountability and authentic relationships that “stir one another up to love and good works.”   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Find out more about Angie Tolpin Get the Courageous Parenting Book on Amazon.
