Grow a Christ-Centered home
...even when life is chaotic or overwhelming.
You drop your kids off at church programs, hoping that they’re somehow connecting with Jesus in the middle of the games and crafts and object lessons, but even amidst all the fun, they don’t seem to be hungry for Jesus himself.
And when you worry, logic tells you to just drop them off at the next best church program. (Just send them to all the AWANA and Sunday School and VBS and they’ll be spiritual giants, right?)
HERE’S THE PROBLEM: 2/3 of churched young adults leave their faith even after having the best children’s and youth ministry programs.
Research into young adults who stick with faith shows that
faith is more than a program.
WHERE DOES FAITH GROW?
Faith grows in the darkness of a bedroom, when you’re praying with a child who can’t sleep. Faith grows at the dinner table when you’re talking about a Bible verse you don’t understand. Faith grows at bedtime when you speak words of life over your child.
CHURCH PROGRAMS ARE GREAT, BUT THEY’RE NOT…YOU.
A study from the Search Institute shows that a child’s #1 spiritual influence isn’t their pastor or Sunday School teacher or youth leader or friends. It’s MOM. You have more influence than all other humans, EVEN when your child is a teenager.
But have you ever tucked your kids in for the night, flopped down on the couch (exhausted), and realized you had spent another full day without helping them connect with Jesus?
Maybe you planned to read a devotional at breakfast, but you forgot (again). Life gets so busy and most days it’s hard to find the time for everything, so God gets left out.
You wish your husband would lead the family spiritually, but he doesn’t have time or he’s not interested.
You might be afraid you don’t know enough about God or the Bible and are overwhelmed about where to start. You feel like you don’t have the tools to do it yourself, so you just let it slide.
Here’s the good news:
You’re not alone – this is where I was a few years ago.
I discovered that every Christian mom can help their kids grow in faith…
…without having to KNOW it all or DO it all.
Hi, I’m Christie Thomas.
I was the Children’s Ministry Director in my church for 10+ years.
I was passionate about helping my own kids know Christ, but despite my work at the church, I felt unequipped to take on the challenge.
I knew what I needed to do, but I felt overwhelmed by all the to-dos that the books and blog posts told me I had to do and I wished my husband would just hurry up and start being the kind of spiritual leader I expected him to be.
Over time, I discovered the power of this tiny little blessing habit that I’d been doing with my kids and teaching to others. I started to study habit-formation and realized that tiny little habits are the best place to start. It wasn’t about doing it all or knowing it all. It was about starting small.
So I started being more intentional about doing small habits. A 30-second devotional here, a simple prayer there. And our faith grew (even my husbands)!
Now, my kids and I read the Bible and pray together after breakfast every weekday morning. Sometimes it’s quick, but other times we get talking about a really deep faith topic for half an hour!
Most nights I read the Bible and pray with each of my kids individually before bed. I leave them every night with a Scriptural blessing, even if it’s a super late night, and they sing the blessing with me because they’ve memorized those verses.
But the BEST part is that I can see my family mulling over Biblical concepts and Bible stories and bringing them up in natural conversation … because God is just a natural part of life now.
He’s become more than a program.
IMAGINE:
- meaningful family conversation around the dinner table that doesn’t feel contrived.
- a bedtime routine that connects your child deeper to God.
- your kids actually listening to you when you read the Bible, and making connections from the Bible to their lives.
You can study the Bible, pray naturally, and have real faith conversations with your kids, without...
- Wasting money on devotional books your kids don’t like
- Getting annoyed at your husband for not doing more
- Feeling guilty about what you’re not doing
I was stuck, always struggling to share my faith with my very resistant son. Now I’m able to talk with him more naturally. My own faith is being nurtured as well. Watching my kids actually starting to enjoy and even crave the gospel message feels like I’ve won the spiritual lottery.
Maintaining that consistency while working through the challenges of marriage and child rearing has been hard. I learned that it works the best when I get in tune with what God is doing in my life and in my kids’ lives.
I felt for a long time that the only people that could teach my kids about the Bible was the teachers at church. We think that God expects so much or to do it a specific way, then we feel like a failure, and that we’re not doing it enough. But he just wants us to be obedient. You think they’re not listening but they are.

This is an awesome group. I love it. 
Before HopeGrown Faith, I felt like I was leading my kids mostly by myself. It’s hard to lead your children in faith when you feel tapped out and unable to spend the time with God that you used to or want to or believe you should.
Hopegrown Faith gave me that fellowship and encouragement from other moms that I was missing, as well as an easy way to get into the habit of regular Bible study again, even if it was just reading a few verses a day.
I love the community that Hopegrown Faith provides. The ladies are so genuine and encouraging and really pray for each other and care about one another’s needs. I’ve needed their prayers many times this year, and I’ve benefited from their Scriptural insights and the testimonies and insights shared by our mom mentors. And just having a group to study and grow with helps keep me focused on studying and growing in Christ as well.
My kids are still pretty young, but they’ve memorized several Scripture passages from the nightly blessings that I started doing with them after going through one of Christie’s challenges, and they’ve enjoyed the crafts and lessons from our Easter study and learned at least a little from the other Scriptures I’ve shared with them too.
Mostly, I know I’m a better mom because of this group of lovely ladies, and if I’m focused and growing in Christ myself, I’ll do a better job of sharing Christ with them.
THANK YOU! Thank you for making short mom mentor clips and sending them to my inbox! You rock!! I just watched that 5-min clip and it was great! Thank you for working so hard for me and your other members! You are such a blessing in my life!
I know God led me to this group—it’s helping me flourish just as much as it helps me encourage my children to flourish. And the best part is I get to take it with me each time I move.
Before HopeGrown Faith, I was overwhelmed about where to start helping my kids know Jesus. I felt like I didn’t have the tools to do it myself.
Now, I trust God is in charge of my kids lives and souls! I am continuing to find His grace in this role of teaching them in His ways and how to connect with Him in their own unique ways. My husband and I are investing in our own relationship with God and it’s rubbing off on our kids. We talk about faith, and we now have a few basic faith rhythms that work for us. I am less motivated by guilt and more by gratefulness.
Having a group of other moms digging in and fumbling to figure it all out is so encouraging and I feel less alone. I’ve gained so many ideas and tools I can use with my family. The mom mentor interviews have been so engaging and impactful. I live for those. I love how each of us can access and participate In whatever is a fit for us.
I am less anxious about being ill-equipped for the task as joining HopeGrown Faith was an answer to prayer.
Christie is very gifted at connecting with our community and creating tools we can use in our own families. I just love her person and her ability to teach/lead while learning for herself and family.

The membership is specifically designed so that overwhelmed parents don’t become MORE overwhelmed! Our Bible studies take 5 minutes per day, our monthly Mom Mentor interviews are released in full, but also divided into weekly Mom Mentor Shorts that are 5-7 minutes each.
As Shanna says, “I think there is so much goodness in this membership – not overwhelming. You can do as much or little as you want.” In fact, not everything WILL be useful for you. The beauty of a membership site is that you get ongoing support. The community and resources are there when YOU need them, not the other way around. If you find yourself unable to connect with the community for a month or use the resources, it’s all still available for when you are able to reconnect.
You do not need Facebook! We have a dedicated membership site where you can log on at your convenience and access what you need, with an off-Facebook forum in the works. The Facebook group is an extra touchpoint for those who would like more connection with other parents. (We’re also working to create an off-Facebook forum!) That said, I HAVE noticed that those who participate in the Facebook group tend to get the most out of their membership because of the connection with others.
Yes! In fact, you’re going to learn how to connect your children to the Bible without a devotional book. In case you really love devotionals, you’ll also have access all our other materials, including a few devotional-style resources.
The membership is SO much more than a single study. We have a fresh study each month, plus community, prayer, mentorship, and discipleship training.
Our members have been really pleased to find that the resources are very appropriate for all Christian denominations. We use ONLY the Bible as our Scripture.
I am literally only an email away, and would love to help you.
You bet! After paying on the secure page, you’ll be taken to a registration page. You’ll create your login info and be all set to go. Your next email will start the Quick Start Guide and you’ll be on your way toward deeper faith!
All downloadable resources are yours forever. Access to the community, Mom Mentors, and discipleship training is only available to premium members.
You will receive a weekly email with links to any new Bible studies or Mom Mentors. If you opt out of the online community portion, you can easily use this material in a weekly 30-minute session at the library, especially if you are able to print the studies.
ARE YOU READY FOR…
- meaningful family conversation around the dinner table that doesn’t feel contrived?
- a bedtime routine that connects your child deeper to God?
- your kids to actually listen to you when you read the Bible, and making connections from the Bible to their lives?
Stop wasting any more of the precious time you have with your kids, and get equipped to share Jesus with your kids…without having to KNOW it all or DO it all.
Go to sleep each night, absolutely confident that God is doing a good work in your child’s heart.
