    #142 - Family Devotions That Actually Work with Carl Laferton

    What if family devotions didn’t have to be perfect to be effective? Adam and Cassie sit down with Carl Laferton to talk about what family Bible time really looks like in a normal home—and why the ordinary, imperfect moments are often where God is doing the most. If you’ve ever thought: “We should be doing family devotions…”“We tried, but it didn’t go well…”“I don’t feel equipped to lead my kids spiritually…” This episode is for you. Carl offers a refreshing, honest take: Family devotions are necessary—but they’re not everything. They’re one part of a much bigger picture: a home where the gospel shows up in everyday life. “Family Bible time is not sufficient for discipleship… but it is a necessary foundation.” Let this Mother’s Day be a reminder that she deserves care, too.
