Great Ideas for Families

Parent reading with child

Whatever you do, honor others more than yourself.
Care about the lives of others.
Think like Jesus: He gave up everything, accepting
the role of a servant. He humbled himself.

Philippians 2:3-8

How can my family become the best it can be?

For years, we’ve been collecting biblical principles for families. Over the next few months, we’ll share them as short, simple suggestions you can put into practice immediately. This first one applies to everyone in your family—even the grown-ups…

“In our family, we treat each other better than our best friend.”

Keep reminding each other of this commitment, again and again, in whatever you’re doing—playing together, choosing entertainment, sharing toys or clothes or crayons, eating a meal—everything. Just be consistent, keep it simple, and enjoy the transformation.

It’s Almost Here: The 21-Day Challenge Starts Soon!

21-Day Challenge

1,440… That’s how many minutes you have in a day. On average, you make 35,000 decisions per day — that’s roughly 24 decisions a minute. The choices you make eventually determine the course of your day, year, and even your life.

Whatever 2020 has looked like for you so far, you can make the most of your time by centering your life on what matters most: intimacy with God. That’s why we created the 21-Day Challenge: to help you build a daily habit of connecting with God through His Word.

The challenge starts on February 1 and continues throughout the month of February, but we want to give you time to select the Plans you want to complete and invite friends to join you!

Your next steps:

If this is your first Bible challenge, we recommend you start with a short audio or reading Plan, and complete one Plan after another. Take it one day at a time and, as your habit grows, gradually ease into longer Plans.

Tap the button below to find the Plans you want. You can tap Save for Later on any Plans you like, then start one on February 1.

We also recommend completing the challenge with friends! On the Plan you want to do first, tap Start Plan, select With Friends, set the start date for February 1, then invite a friend (or 2 or 10). (This will give your friends a heads-up beforehand.)

Are you ready? Let’s do this!
