    How to Turn Everyday Car Rides Into Meaningful Conversations With Your Kids | Ep 91

    In Episode 91 of Family on Purpose, Everyday Discipleship: Car Rides, Derek and Gina talk about how to turn time in the car into intentional time with your family. The ordinary moments can become incredible opportunities to connect with your kids, listen to their hearts, speak life into them, and point them toward Christ. In This Episode We Talk About: • Seeing car rides as opportunities instead of obligations • Being prepared for meaningful conversations with your kids • Creating a phone-free culture in the car • Going "three questions deep" instead of settling for surface-level answers • Speaking life, encouragement, and identity into your children • Why random conversations are important for building friendship with your kids • Why you don't need a few perfect conversations to make an impact • Continuing to pursue teenagers even when they don't seem interested in talking These seasons don't last forever. There will eventually be a last school drop-off, a last drive to practice, and a day when they don't need you to take them everywhere anymore. While you still have the miles together, make them count. Discipleship happens every day, not just in formal settings. Let's use our time together on purpose.
