Episode 64: 15 Rhythms We Do With Our Kids

Sunny & 65 with Madi Schultz

In this episode, I share 15 rhythms that we do or have done with our children as we long to intentionally teach them about Jesus + show them what it looks like to follow Jesus. Most of these are SO small and nothing crazy. SO many that I learned from other moms that have gone before me, or ideas I heard and changed for what worked best for our fam. My prayer is that these encourage and stir up ideas/rhythms that you can incorporate in your own home!
A little outline of the episode(all of these are explained further in the episode):

INTRO/PREFACE: It starts with US following and abiding in the Living God! It will be out of the overflow of us knowing, enjoying, and glorifying God that will have the most impact on our children.

DISCLAIMER: None of these are cute and tidy. None of these are done perfectly. Perfection is never the goal. Pursuing, enjoying and depending on Jesus is. 🤎
