Establish rhythms of faith in your home
...so your kids can grow a faith to call their own.
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.Â
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.Â
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?
Â
Maybe you planned to read a devotional at dinner, but everyone ran out the door (again). Life gets so busy and most days it’s hard to find the time for everything, so God gets left out.Â
You wish your husband would lead a Bible study or prayer time, but that’s just not happening.
You might be nervous about the questions your kids are asking, or frustrated that your kids just won’t sit still. You’re worried that you’re going to get it wrong, that you’re accidentally going to push your kids away from God…so you 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 establish rhythms of faith at home…
…without feeling like they’re pushing or forcing their kids into faith.
Hi, I’m Christie Thomas.
I was the Children’s Ministry Director in my church for 10+ years.
Like many people in my generation, most of my faith teaching had happened at church. While I wanted to help my kids love God, I felt unequipped to do it outside of a church program.
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.Â
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 small, intentional moments.Â
So I started being more intentional about rhythms of faith. A 2-minute devotional here, a simple prayer there. And our faith grew (even my husband’s)!
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 or we’re acting out a Bible story in a way that has us giggling all day!Â
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.Â
But the BEST part is that I can see my family thinking about God and the Bible and bringing them up in natural conversation … because God is just a natural part of life now.Â
He’s become more than a program.
IMAGINE:
- having real conversations about deep theological stuff, where your kids are thinking about God and how God is relevant to their lives.
- a bedtime routine that connects your child deeper to God.Â
- your kids actually listening to you when you read the Bible, and making connections from the Bible to their lives. Imagine even having FUN reading the Bible!
- leaving a legacy of faith for the next generation.
You can study the Bible, pray naturally, and have real faith conversations with your kids, without...
- Forcing your kids into faith
- 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. Â

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.Â
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!Â
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.Â
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.Â
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 Growth Path course is intended to maximize change potential while making the most of your time. With less than 3 hours of teaching time, you can be seeing changes in your family within a week!
If you watched the live training, you know I don’t waste your time in my teaching. I get in, I share the good stuff, and I keep going. (Trust me, I stink at small talk!)
Got 3 hours to invest in your family over the next month?Â
Yes, reading devotional books can help you get started with connecting your kids to God, and I’ve written a couple myself.
However, devotional books are secondhand info – someone else’s interpretation of the Bible. If you think of Biblical teaching like a meal, reading the Bible is the main dish, and devotionals are the noodles: fun and tasty, but not a full nutritious meal in themselves. In HopeGrown Faith you will learn how to help your kids read the actual Bible…one verse at a time.
My approach is all about turning your idea of habit formation on its head. Habit formation doesn’t take 100 days or 7 weeks or any of those old wives tales, it just takes a specific tweak in how you approach it. I’ll teach you how.
You do not need Facebook! We have a dedicated membership site where you can log on at your convenience and access what you need. The Facebook group is an extra touchpoint for those who would like more connection with other parents.Â
That said, we 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! HopeGrown Faith is SO much more than a monthly Bible study. Through our signature training, you’ll be learning how to connect your children to the Bible without a devotional book by making reading the actual Bible engaging for your family.
The membership is SO much more than a single study. In the Faith Growth Path training, I’ll help you actually get into a habit of actually studying the Bible regularly (together or alone). If you’ve ever started a study and not finished it, the Growth Path course is exactly what you need!
Our members have been really pleased to find that the resources are very appropriate for all Christian denominations. We do use ONLY the Bible as our Scripture, so LDS and JW families won’t find us a good fit.
I am literally only an email away, and would love to help you.
Also, after your first week, you’ll receive a link to book a free coaching session with me! I will happily help you troubleshoot some issues or help you determine your next little habit.
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. After going through our signature course, (about 2 hours of video time), 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).Â
I’m confident that HopeGrown Faith can truly help your family. My team and I have been honing this program for over 2 years, and we pray over every resource and Mom Mentor. We have created a 7-day Quick Start Guide to help you really dig into the content and get into community quickly with just a couple minutes per day.
But just in case, I offer a 30-day happiness guarantee. If you go through the resources and realize they’re not right for you, just let me know and I’ll refund your most recent month’s payment. And canceling is as easy as a quick email to me – you’ll be canceled within 24 hours.
ARE YOU READY FOR…
- real conversations about deep theological stuff, where your kids are thinking about things and asking questions?
- your kids to enjoy reading the Bible?
- a bedtime routine that connects your child deeper to God?Â
- your kids to actually listen to you when you read the Bible, making connections from the Bible to their lives?
- leaving a legacy of faith for the next generation?
Stop wasting any more of the precious time you have with your kids, and get equipped to establish rhythms of faith in your home so your kids can grow a faith to call their own.Â
Go to sleep each night, absolutely confident that God is doing a good work in your child’s heart.Â
