Your family probably learns more about your faith by watching you than by listening to you talk about it.
They see how you respond when you're angry.
They notice whether you pray.
They see whether Scripture actually affects your decisions.
They watch how you treat people, whether you forgive, whether you apologize when you're wrong, and whether Jesus makes any practical difference in your everyday life.
In this episode, Raymond looks at Deuteronomy 6 and the responsibility we have to spiritually influence the people God has placed closest to us.
Leading your family spiritually doesn't require turning your living room into a church service. It begins by genuinely following Jesus yourself—and allowing your family to see what that looks like.
In this episode:
- What Deuteronomy 6 teaches about spiritual influence in the home
- Why your example may speak louder than your instruction
- Letting your family see you pray and engage with Scripture
- Why admitting when you're wrong matters
- Modeling forgiveness, service, worship, and obedience
- How to lead spiritually without constantly preaching
