"Before they follow Jesus, they need to be introduced to Him."

One of the simplest — and most important — things Van Walton shared with us this month: the first principle of anchoring your home in God's truth is teaching your children about Jesus. Who is He? What does He have to say to us? If we love our kids, that's where it starts.

Van tied this back to our theme verse for the year:

"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything in love." — 1 Corinthians 16:13–14

Standing firm in your home starts with introducing your children to the One you're standing on.
