Moving Ahead
Pray
Continue praying with each of your children each day, asking God to guide your efforts and work in the hearts of your children.
Read & Study
Read The Big Story—How the Bible Makes Sense Out of Life. After reading it, set aside time with your child to talk about how the Bible is one continuous story of God’s love and His desire to rescue us. Do this over several sessions, perhaps as a story before your child goes to bed.
Read Gospel-Centered Family: Becoming the Parents God Wants You to Be. Answer the questions under “Questions for Reflection” after each chapter. Write down the key insights you’ve gained from this book.
Apply
Discuss the “Issues to Ponder” from “Teaching the Bible to Your Children” section of The Aslan Academy Guidebook.
Write down additional issues or thoughts you have from the resources you’ve completed so far.
At unhurried mealtimes, use the “Aslan Moments” (from the Dawn Treader News) to guide a discussion each week on key topics.
Write down a description of your children’s faith, their attitudes and their behavior. Discuss your possible parenting shortcomings from the past and begin implementing one or two specific changes based on what you’ve learned from the resources read so far. Be sure to do a specific plan for each child.
Family Activities
Continue daily Bible study or readings from an age-appropriate Bible.
Provide some of the “Listen and Learn” resources to your child and allow your child to listen on his or her own or use for car rides and have the whole family listen together. Ask your child about the stories and have him or her describe what he or she is learning.
