It really has nothing to do with the fact that our music\u2019s on there. It was really for us, as parents, and it really equipped us to have some super important conversations at a time that was needed. So, thank you guys\u2014it\u2019s been awesome to get to be a part of it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Well, thank you for using your gifts to honor God; and I appreciate this latest contribution. It\u2019s a book you coauthored with Bobby and Chad Harrington called <em>Dedicated<\/em>. It\u2019s about training your children to trust and follow Christ, which is what discipleship is all about. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I guess that\u2019s my first question\u2014you wrote the book about it: \u201cHow would you describe discipleship to moms and dads and what their assignment is in discipling their kids?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>You started the broadcast out, reading from Matthew 28. We\u2019ve taken our definition of discipleship from that\u2014and it\u2019s: \u201cHelping people to trust and follow Jesus.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s really\u2014you have to go and make disciples\u2014and that happens in the home\u2014and baptizing them, and then, teaching them. There\u2019s that process of\u2014it\u2019s not just the conversion or helping our children to say, \u201cOkay, we believe in Jesus\u201d; but it\u2019s really teaching them to obey and knowing that Jesus is with you. Jesus said, \u201cI am with you always,\u201d\u2014that He\u2019s with us in this process. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, we took that verse from Matthew 28. Then, we added a couple other verses from Ephesians 6:4, where it talks about: \u201cFathers, don\u2019t exasperate your children; but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 Then, Proverbs 22:6: \u201cTrain a child in the way they should go. When they are old, they won\u2019t depart from it.\u201d\u00a0 So, that\u2019s where we get: \u201cTraining your children to trust and follow Jesus.\u201d\u00a0 It is taking these verses together\u2014like: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThat\u2019s the call \/ that\u2019s the discipleship that happens as you go through life and having God at the center of your home.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>When you and Heidi became parents for the first time, did you have a vision for what it was God was calling you to do, as a dad?\u00a0 Did you have in your mind: \u201cOh, I\u2019ve got an assignment here. I\u2019ve got to disciple my kids\u201d?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>We didn\u2019t have a <em>clue<\/em> about what was happening. I actually have a funny story about when our oldest son, Ben, was born. We were bringing\u2014actually, out of the hospital\u2014we were in Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. I\u2019m carrying him out of the hospital\u2014I remember this like it was yesterday. This seven pound, two ounce little boy felt like he weighed a hundred pounds as I\u2019m awkwardly walking him out. And I\u2019m thinking to myself: \u201cWe needed more training. We need help.\u201d\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019m thinking about trying to keep this little boy alive; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt reminded me\u2014this is a little insight into how my disturbing mind works\u2014but it reminded me of the first time I ever bungee jumped off a 300-foot tower; right?\u00a0 I was excited about that. I was\u2014I\u2019m an adventurer. So, I climbed up the tower. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI put the harness on. I\u2019m getting ready to jump off, and I\u2019m just excited. I\u2019m a little nervous; but I take that first step off of the tower, and I start my free fall. I thought, \u201cI should have put a little more thought into this decision.\u201d\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that\u2019s kind of how it felt\u2014that connected in my heart, walking out of the hospital, like, \u201cI should have put a little more thought into becoming a parent,\u201d because I\u2019m just thinking about his life\u2014his physical life\u2014not thinking spiritually yet. But then, I learned, later, I\u2019m a spiritual parent. God\u2019s giving me a calling. There\u2019s nothing more important than his spiritual life and teaching him about the Lord. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It\u2019s interesting that you described walking out of the hospital with a seven-pound boy, feeling like it was a hundred pounds, because in Deuteronomy, Chapter 6, [verses 6-7], where it kind of gives parents the charge\u2014it says, \u201cThese words, which I am commanding you today, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, shall be on your heart;\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>\u2014\u201cand you shall teach of them as you walk by the way, and as you do life with your kids [paraphrase].\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd the concept of \u201cthese words that I am commanding you today shall be on your heart\u201d is the idea of getting up every morning, with a sack of flour on your back, carrying them\u2014a 100-pound sack of flour\u2014weighted down by the responsibility you have to shape the soul, the character, the spiritual identity of this young man \/ this young lady\u2014this child you\u2019ve been entrusted with. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I don\u2019t think a lot of parents feel that weight today, and that\u2019s what this book is really all about. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>The title, <em>Dedicated<\/em>, comes from the place\u2014you know, most Christian parents will dedicate their children, whether that comes in the form of baptism \/ a dedication\u2014however, the church expresses that\u2014but there is some form of dedication. They are saying, \u201cWe want our kids to be committed to the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s their desire. But we talk about: \u201cWell, how do you live out that dedication?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd there are these other things that we want our kids to have\u2014every parent says, \u201cI want my kids to have the best opportunities.\u201d\u00a0 They are thinking about their future, but the best opportunity and the most important thing that your kids are going to have to follow Jesus is through you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that passage, Dennis, that you are talking about in\u2014it really happens as God is the center of your home. It\u2019s not preaching sermons to your kids or these other things. It\u2019s about a lifestyle \/ this discipleship lifestyle that needs to happen \/ that needs to be that weight. But the weight\u2014it\u2019s not just you\u2014Jesus is with you in that. We talked about the Great Commission, but it is to feel the responsibility of that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You just identified two aspects of what the discipleship process looks like. One aspect is that it\u2019s some intentional, maybe formal, interaction where you do say: \u201cOkay; let\u2019s have some time where we\u2019re going to look in the Scriptures together,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014or \u201cWe\u2019re going to read a Bible story,\u201d or whatever it is; but it\u2019s formal and it\u2019s intentional. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe other aspect is the informal life-on-life: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe\u2019re walking by the way. Something comes up, and we talk about how God is in this.\u201d Both of those are important, but I think parents sometimes discount the informal part and think, \u201cIf I\u2019m not doing the formal part, I\u2019m failing.\u201d\u00a0 The informal part is pretty significant as well; isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Absolutely. And it\u2019s really\u2014I even think breaking it down like that is not necessary. It\u2019s really\u2014again, it\u2019s a lifestyle. Your life is going to look different. But when you break down that passage from Deuteronomy 6, the first thing is for parents to say, \u201cThere is only one God,\u201d\u2014here, it is read: \u201cThe Lord our God, the Lord is one.\u201d\u00a0 I say: \u201cFamilies, you have to decide: \u2018Jesus is Lord of your house\u2014\u201cAs for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.\u201d\u2019\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Who are we going to worship?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Right. We\u2019re going to worship Him, and that\u2019s\u2014these are the boundary lines in God\u2019s Word. So, then, it says, \u201cThese commandments I give you today are to be upon your hearts.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cYou should love the Lord your God,\u201d\u2014as you were saying Dennis.

So, what we do is\u2014we tune our hearts and our lives to God\u2019s Word\u2014that\u2019s that daily process. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I tell families: \u201cIt\u2019s not religion.

I mean, that\u2019s not the most singable word in the universe; but I <em>love<\/em> how the song turned out.

It really has nothing to do with the fact that our music\u2019s on there. It was really for us, as parents, and it really equipped us to have some super important conversations at a time that was needed. So, thank you guys\u2014it\u2019s been awesome to get to be a part of it. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Well, thank you for using your gifts to honor God; and I appreciate this latest contribution. It\u2019s a book you coauthored with Bobby and Chad Harrington called <em>Dedicated<\/em>. It\u2019s about training your children to trust and follow Christ, which is what discipleship is all about. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I guess that\u2019s my first question\u2014you wrote the book about it: \u201cHow would you describe discipleship to moms and dads and what their assignment is in discipling their kids?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>You started the broadcast out, reading from Matthew 28. We\u2019ve taken our definition of discipleship from that\u2014and it\u2019s: \u201cHelping people to trust and follow Jesus.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s really\u2014you have to go and make disciples\u2014and that happens in the home\u2014and baptizing them, and then, teaching them. There\u2019s that process of\u2014it\u2019s not just the conversion or helping our children to say, \u201cOkay, we believe in Jesus\u201d; but it\u2019s really teaching them to obey and knowing that Jesus is with you. Jesus said, \u201cI am with you always,\u201d\u2014that He\u2019s with us in this process. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, we took that verse from Matthew 28. Then, we added a couple other verses from Ephesians 6:4, where it talks about: \u201cFathers, don\u2019t exasperate your children; but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 Then, Proverbs 22:6: \u201cTrain a child in the way they should go. When they are old, they won\u2019t depart from it.\u201d\u00a0 So, that\u2019s where we get: \u201cTraining your children to trust and follow Jesus.\u201d\u00a0 It is taking these verses together\u2014like: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThat\u2019s the call \/ that\u2019s the discipleship that happens as you go through life and having God at the center of your home.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>When you and Heidi became parents for the first time, did you have a vision for what it was God was calling you to do, as a dad?\u00a0 Did you have in your mind: \u201cOh, I\u2019ve got an assignment here. I\u2019ve got to disciple my kids\u201d?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>We didn\u2019t have a <em>clue<\/em> about what was happening. I actually have a funny story about when our oldest son, Ben, was born. We were bringing\u2014actually, out of the hospital\u2014we were in Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. I\u2019m carrying him out of the hospital\u2014I remember this like it was yesterday. This seven pound, two ounce little boy felt like he weighed a hundred pounds as I\u2019m awkwardly walking him out. And I\u2019m thinking to myself: \u201cWe needed more training. We need help.\u201d\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019m thinking about trying to keep this little boy alive; right?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt reminded me\u2014this is a little insight into how my disturbing mind works\u2014but it reminded me of the first time I ever bungee jumped off a 300-foot tower; right?\u00a0 I was excited about that. I was\u2014I\u2019m an adventurer. So, I climbed up the tower. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI put the harness on. I\u2019m getting ready to jump off, and I\u2019m just excited. I\u2019m a little nervous; but I take that first step off of the tower, and I start my free fall. I thought, \u201cI should have put a little more thought into this decision.\u201d\u00a0 [Laughter]\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that\u2019s kind of how it felt\u2014that connected in my heart, walking out of the hospital, like, \u201cI should have put a little more thought into becoming a parent,\u201d because I\u2019m just thinking about his life\u2014his physical life\u2014not thinking spiritually yet. But then, I learned, later, I\u2019m a spiritual parent. God\u2019s giving me a calling. There\u2019s nothing more important than his spiritual life and teaching him about the Lord. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>It\u2019s interesting that you described walking out of the hospital with a seven-pound boy, feeling like it was a hundred pounds, because in Deuteronomy, Chapter 6, [verses 6-7], where it kind of gives parents the charge\u2014it says, \u201cThese words, which I am commanding you today, to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, shall be on your heart;\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>\u2014\u201cand you shall teach of them as you walk by the way, and as you do life with your kids [paraphrase].\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd the concept of \u201cthese words that I am commanding you today shall be on your heart\u201d is the idea of getting up every morning, with a sack of flour on your back, carrying them\u2014a 100-pound sack of flour\u2014weighted down by the responsibility you have to shape the soul, the character, the spiritual identity of this young man \/ this young lady\u2014this child you\u2019ve been entrusted with. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I don\u2019t think a lot of parents feel that weight today, and that\u2019s what this book is really all about. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>The title, <em>Dedicated<\/em>, comes from the place\u2014you know, most Christian parents will dedicate their children, whether that comes in the form of baptism \/ a dedication\u2014however, the church expresses that\u2014but there is some form of dedication. They are saying, \u201cWe want our kids to be committed to the Lord.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s their desire. But we talk about: \u201cWell, how do you live out that dedication?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd there are these other things that we want our kids to have\u2014every parent says, \u201cI want my kids to have the best opportunities.\u201d\u00a0 They are thinking about their future, but the best opportunity and the most important thing that your kids are going to have to follow Jesus is through you. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd that passage, Dennis, that you are talking about in\u2014it really happens as God is the center of your home. It\u2019s not preaching sermons to your kids or these other things. It\u2019s about a lifestyle \/ this discipleship lifestyle that needs to happen \/ that needs to be that weight. But the weight\u2014it\u2019s not just you\u2014Jesus is with you in that. We talked about the Great Commission, but it is to feel the responsibility of that. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>You just identified two aspects of what the discipleship process looks like. One aspect is that it\u2019s some intentional, maybe formal, interaction where you do say: \u201cOkay; let\u2019s have some time where we\u2019re going to look in the Scriptures together,\u201d\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>\u2014or \u201cWe\u2019re going to read a Bible story,\u201d or whatever it is; but it\u2019s formal and it\u2019s intentional. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe other aspect is the informal life-on-life: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWe\u2019re walking by the way. Something comes up, and we talk about how God is in this.\u201d Both of those are important, but I think parents sometimes discount the informal part and think, \u201cIf I\u2019m not doing the formal part, I\u2019m failing.\u201d\u00a0 The informal part is pretty significant as well; isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Absolutely. And it\u2019s really\u2014I even think breaking it down like that is not necessary. It\u2019s really\u2014again, it\u2019s a lifestyle. Your life is going to look different. But when you break down that passage from Deuteronomy 6, the first thing is for parents to say, \u201cThere is only one God,\u201d\u2014here, it is read: \u201cThe Lord our God, the Lord is one.\u201d\u00a0 I say: \u201cFamilies, you have to decide: \u2018Jesus is Lord of your house\u2014\u201cAs for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.\u201d\u2019\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Who are we going to worship?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>Right. We\u2019re going to worship Him, and that\u2019s\u2014these are the boundary lines in God\u2019s Word. So, then, it says, \u201cThese commandments I give you today are to be upon your hearts.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cYou should love the Lord your God,\u201d\u2014as you were saying Dennis. We need to love Him, as parents; and then, we need to have His Word. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, we need to be in relationship with God. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis: <\/strong>I don\u2019t want to run past this.

Every time I\u2019m in the recording studio with some of the best musicians in the world\u2014between every take\u2014they are tuning. So, what we do is\u2014we tune our hearts and our lives to God\u2019s Word\u2014that\u2019s that daily process. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd I tell families: \u201cIt\u2019s not religion. It\u2019s not beating yourself up: \u2018Oh, I didn\u2019t read my Bible today. God\u2019s mad at me.\u2019\u00a0 It\u2019s: \u2018I need that!\u00a0 It\u2019s my spiritual <em>food<\/em>.\u2019\u00a0 So, I\u2019m committing myself to Him\u2014that I\u2019m tuning myself to His Word\u2014that these commandments are on our hearts.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, you go from there.

I always try to share life \/ real life, and then, tie it to the Word\u2014like: \u201cHere\u2019s what happened at work today,\u201d \u201cHere\u2019s what happened at school,\u201d \u201cWhat does God\u2019s Word say?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, it\u2019s not a lot of preplanned\u2014you know, it\u2019s just more of what I think Deuteronomy 6 is\u2014we\u2019re just bringing life back to the truth of God\u2019s Word.

You walk into their room, you put your hand on their back, and you start praying for them. And it\u2019s just a few seconds. Then, as they can start praying with you, then, you start with very short Bible stories.\u201d\u00a0 I mean, literally\u2014 like you\u2019re saying, Bob\u2014one minute \/ five minutes. When your kids are young, don\u2019t go for five minutes; but you are setting this pattern and habit. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<br><strong>Dennis: <\/strong>Right. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>And then, as they get to be teenagers, a lot of times, you may have a sit-down\u2014the family that we serve with \/ the Moreland family in the Seeds ministry\u2014they do breakfast devotions.

I got saved at a church camp and started going to church. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI started at the place, where I just knew it was important and been encouraged just to sit down and go: \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cOkay, we\u2019re going to try something.

[Laughter]\u00a0 I said, \u201cI\u2019m doing this so poorly.\u201d\u00a0 Now, I know\u2014and I hear stories from people\u2014that there really is a spiritual battle that happens when you try to engage. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Jason: <\/strong>So, you need to be aware of that and don\u2019t be discouraged because the thing that I found is\u2014I was dead-set\u2014like: \u201cWe\u2019re just going to try to have this spiritual family time. I don\u2019t even know what it looks like; but reading a Bible story and praying\u2014okay; I\u2019ve got that part.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, we were trying to do that, but I\u2019m thinking the kids aren\u2019t getting anything out of this. Then, one of our sons, a few weeks into it, said, \u201cWell, yes, Dad, like you talked about the other night, and when God said this, and that\u2019s why we need to do this.\u201d\u00a0 I was like: \u201cYou got that?!\u00a0 You actually got something from this?!\u201d I was so encouraged because I\u2014he heard that\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u2014I didn\u2019t know.

And that\u2019s a huge breakthrough\u2014just to start praying for your kids before bed, or in the morning, and praying that God will help you seek Him together. That\u2019s the first step.
