CONNECT YOUR FAMILY TO JESUS THIS LENT SEASON
Experience Jesus' incredible COMPASSION, his unexpected MISSION, and the holy sweetness of FRIENDSHIP with him.
You want to help your kids know Jesus and walk with God but you struggle to know where to start.
Because of this, neither you nor your kids have a clear picture of who God is and what he longs to do in your lives.
Hi, I’m Christie Thomas.
I was the Children’s Ministry Director at my church for over 10 years.
When my kids were young, it was fairly easy to do “devotions” with my kids because I had resources to help me make it fun and educational. I was reading Wise for Salvation most evenings with my two oldest boys and we loved it.
But then my eldest outgrew the book. I really started floundering when I knew he was too big for the resource I’d written. We started at least 5 devotional books but I kept throwing them away in frustration. None of them worked! They were too complicated or too metaphorical or too…much.
Not only that, but I wanted to do something with all my kids, not just one at a time.
That’s when I realized that I could just read the ACTUAL BIBLE with my kids!
It wasn’t always easy, but I started creating questions and other totally simple hands-on ways to interact with each day’s reading, and a new habit was born: one of reading the actual Bible with all 3 of my children, 5 years apart in age.
If we want our kids to walk with God,
they have to move past devotionals at some point, and read the actual Bible.
And the BEST place to start is with the Gospels.
Why?
Because the best way to get to know who God is…
is by falling in love with Jesus.

“Reading through what you have provided has helped us to read through the gospel of Mark with a fresh perspective (my husband and I both grew up in Christian homes and have done a lot of Biblical studies over the years). We really appreciate in this reading of Mark, that you consistently asked us to look for how Jesus’ heart and actions reveal what God is like.” – Elissa

I normally only post Scripture references rather than quotes. There are no quotes in the 40 Days with Jesus study. In the “Lead Me to Jesus” Easter Experience, I use the NLT for some verse quotes on the last day.
Absolutely!
