Day 19: The Role of Parents

Parents should be the primary spiritual coaches in their children’s lives. The first priority of a parent should be to disciple and grow their children in the Lord. In today’s passage, see how Moses instructed the nation of Israel as they were about to enter the promised land.

Read Deuteronomy 6:1-9

Q: Based upon this passage, what does it mean to be the primary spiritual coach in my child’s life?

Q: How can I know whether I am giving my children a clear picture of what it means to follow God or a blank script?
