Establish rhythms of faith in your home

This connection has been such a great “aha” moment for me. Thank you for getting me to think about faith at home realistically, intentionally, and compassionately. I really love your approach and praise God that I have gotten to take part in it!

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.

I have to testify that being part of your community and your books have help me find the courage to speak life to my boys, to point to Jesus every opportunity I have. 

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.

Even though it can be so overwhelming to think of all the things I am “supposed” to be doing to make sure my kids grow up connected to Christ, you are able to break them down into the most manageable steps.

I was stuck with my oldest son refusing to engage in anything to do with God and getting angry with me for even bringing it up. Now, (PRAISE THE LORD!!!) he is lisening to me read the Bible and making connections about it to real life too. And my younger son is learning by listening is.

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.

Thank you for the encouragement to watch the sprout stage. While my family was further along on the growth path, it was great to come back and watch this. It really helped me think through our habits. We are putting some things into practice with the bedtime routine already, and I am looking forward to sharing ideas with our children’s ministry at church.

Being a homeschool mom, I can put it in with our curriculum as part of our Bible time, and it starts out our day with that perspective in mind.

I would tell anyone thinking about joining to do it. To check it out and to see how amazing it is and to give it a try and see how much support and love you’ll get while getting good stuff to help out your family’s faith! 

You get the expertise of [Christie] and the knowledge that she has, so that way you don’t have to go scouring the internet for things when it’s all right conveniently located there.”

This has revealed a lot about me and how I have approached a lot of my life situations.  I am parenting differently because of the full affect of feeling God’s perfect love for me.  It makes it easier to pass THAT along, His true and perfect love, for my kids.  Honestly, I didn’t know that my love for my kids wasn’t perfect love… until now.
