The FAITH 5
Faith Acts In The Home
Care to have some fun, keep your family
communicating every night, and grow in your
understanding of yourself and God? Try this simple
five-step process for the next six weeks and see if
it doesn’t help!
Here’s how you do it: Whoever is going to bed first
in your home calls “FAITH 5” or “Huddle Up!”
Everyone must drop what they’re doing, turn off the
television, put down the newspaper or their
homework, set the cell phone on silence and gather
in a room of the convener’s choice. Then take turns
going through these five simple steps:
1. SHARE highs & lows of the day
2. READ and highlight a verse of Scripture in your
Bible
3. TALK about how the verse relates to your highs &
lows
4. PRAY for your highs & lows, for your family,
and for the world
5. BLESS one another
You want a great relationship with your kids? You
want openness, honesty, caring and sharing in your
family? You want to raise a child to be a strong,
thoughtful, empathetic, positive, healthy adult out
in the world some day? You can’t buy that. You have
to invest in it. And the investment is the most
expensive currency you own – your TIME – aimed at
that most precious young person in your life.
Kids spell love TIME. Be intentional. Be consistent.
Be caring. Be the parent. Every night. Every home.
No one else can do that for you.
Four Questions
1. For parents of Young Children: What would it be
worth
to you to have a teenager some day who won’t go to
sleep without talking to you about their day? Praying
with you? Blessing you? Would it be worth five minutes?
Tonight? Every night?
2. For Parents of Pre-Teens: What would happen to
your
family over time if you were able to deep this open,
caring communication going every night throughout
adolescence?
3. For Parents of Teenagers: Once the teen years
begin
and drivers’ licenses come into play, communication
between parents and teens can become a challenge.
How might this type of five-minute conversation change
a family if they were intentional and consistent about it?
Would the benefits outweigh the hassle of trying to
invest this time of care, listening, and prayer each
night in your home? Why or why not?
4. For Church Leaders: What would happen to a family
over time if they made an intentional point of doing the
Faith 5 most every night? What would happen to your
church five years from today it the majority of your
household were doing active listening, scripture, faith
talk, prayer, and blessings every night?
