Given normal conditions, all children laugh and play. No one has to teach them these traits. Why? Perhaps joy is hard-wired into us because it's an empowering force.

Education and activities shape our children's development. Just as significantly is the environment they grow up in. If it's one of joy, this will make them stronger and more resilient. If joy is more of an exception than the norm (or non-existent), children will pay a cost not only as kids but as adults.

Intentionally cultivating an environment of joy is like supplying oxygen to your child -- and perhaps to them adopting your faith!

Discover the connection between joy, strength, and what your children will seek as adults in today's episode!

What comes to mind when you hear the word, "Holy?"

If it's not "joy," it's understandable. But it should be!

Joy and holiness are mighty forces necessary to secure one's freedom.

See the parallels between the United States' celebration of the Declaration of Independence (July 4th) and the celebration of the Jews who had finished rebuilding Jerusalem's walls millennia ago under the leadership of Nehemiah and Ezra.

Let's be honest. "Family Bible study" can provoke more guilt than enthusiasm. It's something we know we "should" do and keep meaning to "get around to." Yet another week (year?) can go by and all we've accomplished is adding more items to our "parenting failures" list.

Today I share five principles and six practical application ideas to help you move from "I should/want to/meant to" to "I am." No guilting here; just encouragement and insights to move from theory to practice.

Getting God's Word into your kids is not only an imperative, it's possible!
