Scripture Engagement at Home

In this equipping video, Andy sits down with Justin Edge from Life.Church to talk about why Bible engagement in the home is essential for a child’s long-term faith, and how ministry leaders can help families build sustainable rhythms in God’s Word.

This is a practical conversation about shaping kids beyond one hour at church each week, especially as they grow and transition out of children’s ministry.

Topics covered include:

• Why Scripture Engagement at Home Matters
• Resources That Work in Real Homes (consistent, age-appropriate, bite-sized)
• Building Parent Confidence by Celebrating Kids’ Growth
• Simple Follow-Up Communication (short emails, conversation prompts, weekly next steps)

Key takeaway for leaders

• Play the long game with consistency and small, age-appropriate steps.
• Help kids see Scripture as relevant by connecting it to everyday life.
• Celebrate kids’ spiritual growth in front of their parents.
• Send short follow-up emails with lesson-based questions and next steps for the week.
• Don’t wait for the perfect system. Start with one encouraging step, see what works, and keep refining.
