Notes From Parents Coaching Trial

Well our Free Trial went very well. Tim gave us some insight into what a Faith at Home Coaching Session will be. He also shared his “PeanutButter” and Sticky Faith – great stuff.

The two winners of Mark’s Faith Begins at Home Books were: Lisa Hart and Dean Butterfield, congratulations your books will be in the mail by weeks end.

Scripture Tim shared
Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are sitting at home or walking in the street, talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates. Deut. 6:6-9 MSG

And part of St. Patrick’s Breastplate Prayer that was also shared:
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

Thanks to all who joined and if you missed it stay tuned – we will have more coaching sessions for F@H Parents next month and coming this fall F@H coaching for Pastors.

Faith Begins at Home Devotions Insight #4

From the newly released Faith Begins at Home Devotions by Pastor Mark Holmen

God has given you what you need to lead family devotions and you need to trust in that fact. You also have two things going for you. First is the fact that chances are no one in your household has ever participated in family devotions before so they won’t know if you’re doing it right or wrong. And second, there is no right or wrong way to have family devotions. This is what I call the ultimate win/win situation! You can’t go wrong because there is no expectation or standard that you must meet. Martin Luther once wrote that parents are called to be the “bishops, apostles and priests of their own homes.” So there you have it, you are now a pastor, or better yet Bishop of your own home! Go and lead devotions trusting that God will guide and lead you.

Faith Begins at Home Prayer Insight #4

From the newly released Faith Begins at Home Prayer by Pastor Mark Holmen

One of the concerns that parents may have in bringing faith into the center of their home is the fear that their children will ask a question they don’t know how to answer. That’s the beauty of prayer. It gives you a chance to turn these questions and concerns over to God. We don’t have the answers. It’s okay to admit it in prayer.

Faith Begins at Home Devotions Insight #3

From the newly released Faith Begins at Home Devotions by Pastor Mark Holmen

So let me be crystal clear, family devotions are more influential in shaping the long-term faith walk of your children than any church program you sign them up for no matter how good the program is. Do you want your kids to have a lasting faith? They type of faith that will stick with them forever? The type of faith that will influence the myriad of life decisions they will have to make? Then you have to set the example of living a wholly devoted life through the devotional way you live your life at home.
