Every Day Counts: Faith in the Moments

Family Friday #7

Ever catch yourself thinking faith is just for bedtime prayers or Sunday mornings? If so, you're not alone—but God has something far richer in mind. Imagine if every ordinary moment—car rides, chores, or even meltdowns—became opportunities to point your family to Jesus. That's exactly the vision Scripture gives us.

Deuteronomy 6:7 beautifully calls us to everyday discipleship:

“You shall teach [these commands] diligently to your children…when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise.”

God never intended discipleship to be a special occasion. Instead, He designed faith to pulse through the everyday rhythms of our lives. Faith isn't an add-on—it's the heartbeat of a gospel-centered home.

Think of the countless moments that fill your family’s week. Each one is bursting with potential. A sibling argument becomes a moment to discuss forgiveness. A beautiful sunset can spark gratitude for God’s creation. Even a spilled juice box or homework frustration can lead to talking about patience or grace. The opportunities are endless, and each small moment weaves together into a beautiful tapestry of faith.

At Redeemer, we love seeing homes flourish through everyday discipleship. Your daily routines aren't distractions—they’re sacred spaces for Jesus to shape hearts and mold lives. The Gospel isn't confined to special moments; it’s for all moments.

This week, take one ordinary situation and use it to gently point your family toward Jesus. It doesn’t have to be complicated—just a simple mention of His love, patience, or kindness can make a profound impact.

Jesus isn't waiting for perfect moments; He's already present in the everyday grind. Invite Him into each small, messy, joyful moment of your family life. It's here, in the ordinary, that faith grows best.
