Family Discipleship Conversation Guide
Why These Questions?
Discipleship happens best in the everyday moments of family life—at the dinner table, in the car, before bed, or on a walk. These questions are designed to spark meaningful conversations that point your kids to Jesus. You don’t need to have all the answers; your role is to listen, guide, and remind them of God’s truth.
How to Use Them
- Pick one or two questions a week—don’t rush through all of them.
- Be consistent—try to ask during meals, bedtime, or another regular rhythm.
- Encourage honesty—let your kids know it’s okay to share doubts, questions, or struggles.
- Point back to Scripture—read a verse that connects to their answers.
- Pray together—end your conversations with a short prayer based on what was shared.
