AT THE HOME // Vol 1 Issue 10

This month is filled with plenty of opportunities for you to choose from to form connections with your family, church community, and… fellow moms! (See our first launch of MOMS Gather below.)

WHAT we’re teaching +
There’s a reason lions are symbols of courage — even their roars (which can be heard up to five miles away) tell us how strong they are! And because of God’s promises, we can be as strong and bold as lions, too. In this five-week series, kids will learn important truths from the life of Daniel they’ll want to shout (or roar!), like how we don’t have to give up and don’t have to feel alone. Instead, we can keep learning and not be afraid, even when we don’t know the future. Why? Because God is with us!

+ PARENT TIP OF THE MONTH
Studying the Bible together can be such a great way to help your family grow closer to God. But actually keeping them engaged, excited, and curious can be frustrating. So instead of feeling like we must be the issue, let's explore a few ideas to make your Bible study more intentional than ever before.
Here’s a resource for you +
We don't recommend pulling this prank on a kid this year, but we do recommend watching this video to see the hilarious results. And check out Beleaf In Fatherhood for more funny, inspiring, and educational content!
