Send us a text Building a Strong Biblical Foundation at Home In this episode of Legacy Matters: Conversations on Faith, Family, and Future , host Blake Fuller dives into one of the most important aspects of Christian parenting—building a strong biblical foundation at home. Coming off the Parenting on Purpose conference, Blake shares key insights on how parents can be intentional in raising their children to know and follow Christ. At The King’s Academy, we believe that spiritual formation starts at home. While TKA is committed to reinforcing biblical values, the primary responsibility for a child’s spiritual growth belongs to parents. But what does that look like in day-to-day life? Blake walks through Deuteronomy 6:6-7 to show how discipleship is not just for Sundays—it happens in the daily moments, conversations, and choices we make as a family. This episode offers practical, doable steps to strengthen your child’s faith at home, including: 📖 Making God’s Word a Daily Priority – Simple ways to incorporate Scripture into your routine. 🙏 Praying Together – Teaching children to turn to God in every situation. 🌱 Modeling Christ-like Character – Living out faith in a way kids can see and follow. 🏡 Prioritizing Church Involvement – The importance of a faith community for spiritual growth. 🤲 Serving Others as a Family – Showing kids that faith is active and meant to bless others. Parenting is a high calling, and it’s never too late to start leading your family spiritually. Whether you feel confident or overwhelmed, God equips those He calls. As Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, when we invest in our children’s faith, we plant seeds that will bear fruit for generations. If this episode encourages you, share it with a fellow parent and continue the conversation. Join us next week as we discuss raising resilient kids in today’s culture! Support the show…
