Your family’s faith is not limited to just the four walls of a church on a Sunday, or how many times you read through the Bible. It’s something your family lives, day in and day out.
Finding ways to organically weave faith into everyday family life can feel overwhelming to get everyone on the same page, to speak to everyone’s individual personalities, or to come up with newer faith practices.
But coming up with new ideas doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some fresh, practical ideas for family faith practice:
This isn’t a new concept - but it’s foreign in today’s society. In a world that prizes busyness, rest can be revolutionary. Setting aside intentional rest isn’t just good for the body, it’s a spiritual practice.
Choose one evening a week where your family intentionally rests together—no screens, no schedules, no productivity.
Try It:
In a culture that celebrates busyness, choosing rest is a spiritual act. Slowing down teaches children that rest isn’t laziness—it’s trust. True rest creates space to reconnect with God and one another in ways constant noise never allows.
Instead of saying you’re just going to try and avoid technology altogether, use it on purpose as a family to connect, grow deeper and push further into your faith.
Try It:
Technology isn’t the enemy, unintentional use is. Teaching kids how to use digital tools for good helps them develop discernment, not dependency, and shows them that faith can be woven into everyday life.
Get more out of your drive time by turning them into moments of reflection and share how you’ve seen God at work.
How to Try It:
Faith grows when it’s talked about naturally. This practice helps children learn to recognize God’s presence in ordinary moments and creates space for honest conversations without pressure.
When most people think about fasting, they imagine something extreme, like a water fast or a 21-day church fast. Because of that, we often miss the opportunity to fast as a family.
Choose one small thing your family will step away from together for a set time.
Try It:
Fasting doesn’t have to be extreme to be meaningful. When families fast together, children learn dependence on God, self-discipline, and the value of seeking Him intentionally—especially during seasons of decision or prayer.
These practices aren’t new, but practicing them together is what makes them powerful.
Instead of fighting the digital world, teach your children how to use and steward it well. Instead of fasting alone, invite your family into the process. And instead of treating rest as optional, reclaim it as a biblical command.
These small and consistent practices are sure to deepen not only your individual faith but strengthen your faith as a family along the way. You’re seeking God, you’re being obedient to some of his commands, and you’re taking back practices that can be used for His glory and righteousness.
Our mission is to equip families to move to a biblical theology and trajectory in their lives. In doing this, the organic progression of faith building is crucial. But how do you mix the two and not get overwhelmed? Family and faith, faith and family. Sometimes taking care of your own individual relationship with God feels like all you can juggle.
We want to take the weight of that off of your family with The 7 Generation Family Legacy Study. This course was designed to help walk your and your family through a renewed understanding and a shift of what is family in a biblical context. You’ll learn the importance of values, cast a family vision, and take back the intentionality of family. Let’s get started!
